Premium AC Compressor Tested Versus Clutch installed in Subaru Forester Impreza… Gas Vehicles ONLY!
Excerpt:
We recently had the chance to test the A-Premium Air Conditioner AC Compressor with Clutch, designed for Subaru Forester (2014-2018), Impreza (2012-2016), Crosstrek (2016-2017), and XV Crosstrek (2013-2015) models running on gas. Installation was straightforward, fitting snugly into our 2015 Forester as a direct replacement. The clutch performed flawlessly, ensuring smooth operation without any noticeable vibrations or delays. Compared to the OEM part, ours provided a noticeable improvement in cooling efficiency, even on hotter days. The build quality feels robust, and the matching clutch ensures consistent power transfer—crucial for maintaining a comfortable cabin. For gas-powered Subaru owners struggling with dead air conditioning, this compressor delivers reliable performance. We appreciate how it combines affordability with durability, making it a standout choice for anyone in need of a dependable AC upgrade.
