The numbers regarding the
The numbers regarding the reliability and number of miles until any major repair or maintenance are way exagerated. Any Subaru will require gasket replacement after 100 K miles. Mine, a Forester 2004 bought new from dealership has now less than 100k and dry soon vI will need a new belt,water pump and pulleys and a little later major transmission repair, bearings and almost certain anew gasket as lately it hardly catch its breath . The car has been well Maintained . It has an accident involving body repairs but nothing at the engine and transmission. It was staying in storage for six years because of lack of funds. I bought it exactly because of these lies about the reliability and durability but turned out that all was just a "legal lie" as they calling advertising. Noted that I've never forced the engine and I was quite carefully with it. Big disappointment.
