Does the 2016 Subaru Impreza come equipped with a timing belt or timing chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2016 Subaru Impreza offers two engine choices, both equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. This means less maintenance is required compared to a timing belt. Timing chains are durable and generally do not need replacement throughout the vehicle's lifespan. However, there is a possibility of mechanical issues, which can be costly to repair, with timing chain replacement potentially reaching up to $2,000. To prevent such failures, regularly change your oil and ensure your oil pressure stays at a sufficient level.
