2011 Subaru Leggy 2.5i. Bought at 54k with no issues, drove fine until about 75k when a gastly over large Yukon lost control next to me on the freeway and overcorrected right into the passenger side of it. Drove it like that until about 150k, fixed the door, then drove it until 189k, sold it to the guy that helped me move.

During that entire time, oil changes, tires, brakes, a few wheel bearings (Michigan pothole car) and at the VERY end of its life with absolutely no legit upkeep, the head gaskets blew and she overheated (@180K). Drove 9k more miles with a "pour in" solution and she never over heated again. The guy that bought it for a couple hundred said he worked on subaru's.

Moral of the story. All cares are just hunks of metal and rubber designed to get you from A-B. Drive them, change the oil (Often), do your regular maintenance (tires, alignments, brakes) and IF you've the resources or money, obey the recommended maintenance schedule and your Subu will meet the 190K+ club.
