It might be the best in
It might be the best in regards to performance, weight, power and technology but time only tells when it comes to reliability. My wife has a 2016 Legacy with the 2.5i, which was supposed to be a redesigned more reliable engine and that turned out to be false. At 30k miles, the engine was consuming about 5 qts between oil changes. By 50k miles, she was consuming massive amounts of oil to the point it had to be refilled constantly. Subaru told her it was normal without even testing. They finally conceded to an engine oil consumption test and determined that it was something faulty. While it was in the shop, Subaru finally issued a repair notice and recall. In short, they ended up rebuilding her entire engine, replacing the short block, head gaskets, cam levers and the whole nine. Now, her car has 89k miles on it and she just got it back from her second major repair; again cam lever and both head gaskets blown. She changes the oil on 4-5k mile intervals and does all recommended services. Subaru comped all the repairs so far, including a repair at 50k miles, when her infotainment system failed for a potential repair cost of $3k. I've never known anyone to have this many issues with a Subaru, but the past issues with the 2.5i seem to finally be fixed, after decades of changes. The 2.4 turbo engine is fairly new and had some major failures in it's past, so truely, only time will tell on reliability.
