Previous owner of three
Previous owner of three Subaru's. The fact is that Subaru is throwing all their loyal customers under the bus. When it is considered "normal" for a "new" vehicle to consume up to one quart of oil in 1200 miles, guess what happens when that vehicle has 20, 30, 40k miles on it! It only gets much, much worse. Subaru has decided not to fully disclose or admit to the nature of the problem, be it piston rings, the cylinder bock or whether it is a manufacturing and/or design issue. Subaru has decided to take the low road, downplay the issue and continue to sell defective products. Will never purchase another Subaru product. Subaru, you lost this customer and I suspect many, many more. When this problem is fully exposed in Consumer Reports magazine, sales will definitely crash. So keep hiding behind your corporate mouthpieces and lying to your customers. The Subaru brand is severely tainted and the treatment of your once loyal customers will be the ones to rightfully drag it down.
