How does the author know this
How does the author know this will be reliable until owners put some miles and years on it? It's not like Subaru hasn't had a steady stream of engine problems. Heck, they set a galactic record for number of years to get a good head gasket. Then their supplier sells them a batch of bad piston rings. Finally their normally aspirated engines seem to have been smoothed out and we get a notice that the transmission in our 2016 Outback gets a warranty extension. I can only guess why.
