I unfortunately was one of those people who got a bad one.. (2006)
The car of in the repair shop twice a week for misfire codes, doors frozen to the rubber door frame, no cruise control, clutch fluid frozen solid, numerous wheel bearing failure, head-gasket failure, should have bought a Honda accord regret..
I am no mechanic but my 2012 had a head gasket replaced at 166,000 no problems since , I am at 240,000
Subaru fixed the head gasket issue in 2011, modern Subarus are just as reliable as Honda and Toyota with the proper maintenance.
Not even 6 months into it the head gasket exploded and the engine was completely fucked.
company knew of head gasket issues and still continued to sell the design.
2013 3.6R and it's been a great car 207k on the odometer and the worse thing I had to do was a head gasket. No other issues with regular maintenance and well worth the price of keeping the car on the road.
Head gaskets. You're on the cusp of a very expensive and very necessary repair if it has not been done already. I "got a steal" on a 2001 Legacy wagon years ago. 130,000 miles. The head gaskets went at 140,000 and I was not in a financial position to have the car fixed. Absolutely loved the car.
I had a dark blue 1997 2.5GT five-speed sedan for a few years. I really liked that car a lot. Not fast per se but it handled well, was comfortable, and looked great.
I love my 2008 H6 LL Bean, but I've had to get the engine rebuilt (yep the head gaskets CAN go, even on the H6).
Maybe I’m the outsider but after 3 Subarus I’m done with them. Each was less durable, had more problems, and died with less miles on the odometer. Between head gaskets and that horrible CVT, I’m not fixing a car worth $4,000 with an estimate of $11,000
