I have owned 5 Subarus since 1987( latest is my new 2024 Crosstrek) I can’t speak for the new Subaru but I have great luck with all except the 1987 which had carburetor issues. Other than that I haven’t had the problems that you mentioned about ALL SUBARU VEHICLES. I have owned Fords, Chevrolets,Dodge and other Chrysler vehicles along with a few other brands and don’t think that the maintenance costs on my Subarus were any worse than the other vehicles. It all boils down to (PRACTICING PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ) I have always taken my new vehicles to THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECOMMENDED MARKET SCHEDULES. It has always worked out well for me NO MATTER WHAT BRAND OF VEHICLE I OWNED. As you can see I DONT COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOUR APPARENT DISLIKE FOR SUBARU.
