Your experience may be different than mine but a worn out a/c compressor at or before 118K miles doesn't sound good. We had an '83 Toyota Celica with that problem but since then a '96 Infiniti G20, a '98 Nissan Frontier, and an '06 Mazda3 all had compressors that lasted well over 118K miles and were still blowing cold air when we sold them.

Our '16 Outback now has 70K miles and uses a quart of oil in 6K miles. That's not great but it's a whole lot better than owning one with defective piston rings.

Maybe someone on this forum can tell me if Subaru sorted out their head gasket problems by the time they made our car. I hope so because it sounds like our CVT transmission will be a reliability problem after 100K miles.
