I have had five Subarus…
I have had five Subarus since the late 1990s. The only one I had any concerns about was a Legacy wagon built in America, the brakes of which were reputed to be troublesome. I don't use brakes heavily and had a manual transmission so I didn't encounter issues. But I do have concerns in general about American workmanship from buying other brands and seeing how they deteriorate in general. I have never had a head gasket problem, worn struts at 20,000 miles, or sloppy doors from a vehicle made in Japan or Germany or even England. Convince me please that I can trust your American factory to make a Forester as good as one made in Gunma.
