I am on my fourth Subaru, I have owned them since 1989. My current 2013 Subaru Impreza is currently in the shop getting a new engine. My car is a 5-speed stick it was a special order from Japan when I bought it new. Now with 84,000 mi on it the valve lifters went bad and the only solution was to replace the engine. I find this distressing on many levels, particularly since in 2019 there was a recall and the engine was completely overhauled with new valve lifters. In addition the car has burned oil excessively since I purchased it. I have always had to add 1/2 to 1/4 of oil every 3,000 to 4,000
miles. I have always meticulously maintained the car, with regular oil changes every 6,000 miles. It also needed a new clutch at 75,000 miles. Sadly, I think this will be my last Subaru.
