Water glass on Subaru Impreza Boxer Diesel engine

[jeffrey19621]

Impressive!

I have Forester 2.0 MY'10. The engine is great - but then I am not so happy about manual gearbox (not very precise) and clutch (needs to be handled really carefully). Also DPF filter seriously limits performance. So I have mixed feelings about this car - some parts are really great - others - really average.

@mar1lab Ask your subaru dealer to do an upgrade of engine settings. My Subaru Outback boxer diesel had a very sensitive cluch when i buy it, the month after i discuss about this with my subaru dealer and they do like an upgrade and now it's very easy to drive than it was before !

U may dislike these diesel engines but unless you have driven one then your 'opinions' are worthless, i have driven a friends and it was very smooth running and quiet for a diesel and reasonably quick. The petrol engine is good but i prefer diesel myself as they will last alot longer.

[JAROSLAVAGINA]

lol that's not a diesel engine... i got an '82 GM Six-Two... That's a diesel engine... 0 to 60 in 5.2 days... The smooth finesse of a washing machine on spin cycle with an unbalanced load... and enough torque to pull the great wall of china 300 years into the past... lol :P

It's cars like this one that make me hate US Emissions Laws...

[BrocBolin]

talk about a balanced crank

[Brainiac83]

That must impress alot of girls.

[iriddell1]

@Brainiac83 actually, i think they might want to see more vibrations ;P

[SubaruXT6]

awesome ! Center Gravity DieSel !

Subaru OWNS!

[4uneeda]

Nice.

[SubieSleeper]

I WISH we had that motor by now. I sell Subarus in the USA. (Allentown Pennsylvania) SOOOO many peole as when we're getting it. Our BS emissions laws are making it damn near impossible . :-(

[thegr81337]

+1 cause you sell Subarus in PA. (Berks Co. here). You, sir, are now my idol :)

[elementok]

@SubieSleeper actually, those Diesel engines are cleaner than gas ones!

[Matty231]

Haha my glass sitting on my Subys EJ20 Intake Manifold shows some shaking, have to hold it on there haha, I don't care though. As long as I have the Subaru badge im happy

[zhammmy]

Try do that test again when the car is at its 1, 2 , 3...birthday.

Don't get me wrong, I would prefer that diesel engine over the gasoline ones SUBARU now makes. Too bad I am living in the U.S. and the diesel engine is NOT here, yet.

[Ryoukun16]

@zhammmy They're considering on bringing it sometime late 2010.

[ZDrums24]

@zhammmy these engines don't lose much with age. my gasoline is 13 years old and still very smooth. granted, not that smooth.

[HexoFire]

@zhammmy apparently the americain mentality is all about gasoline

Go in the europe and every cars are diesel

even some fucking ford focus are diesel in europe

Meanwhile we are stuck with F-350 gasoline

[zhammmy]

@HexoFire I'm sick and tired of waiting for Subaru to bring the diesel engines to the U.S.A.(I've been waiting since late 2009!)

So, I tested the VW Jetta SportWagen 2.0L TDI with the 6-speed DSG and sunroof. Cost? About US$29000.

[testdriveracer]

unfair becouse the cover absorbes the vibration...

[wankeleo]

prova a mettere il bicchiere su un motore mustang..hahahahha il motore si fa il bagno.

[DerAdventurer]

Quite cool. There was a video around YouTube with a test like that done in a Lexus LS400... and I think the show was made in 90 or 91.... and the results were seemed or better than this one. Shame YouTube did erase it. :(

Engineering rocks!

[SFseis]

Still sounds like a tractor :-(

[pedekiller]

that'sa GOOD thing hehe..

but it has a wimpy car to go with the balsey noise :(

[TelelinksWebteam]

nice, nice ride!!!!

[goodoleboy2008]

i think that is an amazing engine and it will last you a very long time if you take care of it.

[DPG07]

Menudo tractor, el gasoil pa las calderas

[PirulaBuena]

Seguramente le de mil vueltas a tu coche, empezando por la aceleracion.

[PhantomTD]

I like that Impretza with diesel.. but not with that sound. I am glad I chose the Lancer, even with FWD

[elovaas]

Yeah! That sounds beautiful! NOT! Please kill that engine.

Who´s driving around with a glass of water on their engine anyways?

[danadaen]

Nobody is, but it demonstrates the amount of vibration the engine produces which directly affects the noise level, also the smoothness of the ride. Funny comment though.

[trumby205]

might come in handy if you are driving through the desert lol
