I really hope they have improved their engine design:

I keep hearing reports of 2017/2018 Subaru models having excessive oil consumption issues with the 2.5i manual or cvt.

There's no way I want to take a risk with a company that suffered a lawsuit but only extended the warranty to 8 years/100k miles. What are you supposed to do with your oil burning vehicle after 100k miles? Toss it away?

I understand many haven't had issues, but it remains true that the issue is still unresolved considering the reports floating around.

I'd love a Forester or Outback but that really seems like a risky move and I don't have the stomach to fight a dealership over oil consumption testing.

This is 2018 - not 1970. I really shouldn't have to add a 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes.
