I agree an eight year period is ridiculous especially considering it was a problem with pretty much just one of their engines. All the rest were fine. Also note that the last year that the head gasket issue was problematic was 2004. That's 18 model years ago so it's hardly a valid complaint these days. As for oil consumption and brake issues? Those are hardly exclusive to Subaru. I find it interesting that you still drive them and own more than one, given the attitude of your response. In a way, you are proof as to why they're still so popular in spite of your complaints about them. ;-)

The new ones with CVT’s aren’t. Literally are none of those. however, the old ones are! Just keep it 2013 or older. My 2015 Subaru Forester XT has its lower control arm bushings fail at 40k miles. This is just from occasional fire roads. This is a widespread issue that we all faced. Not rugged. Reliable? The CVT died at 60K miles. Not as wide spread as the bushing issue, but pretty much means these transmissions simply cannot go past around the 250K mile mark. Their highest mile CVT subaru was from a guy that escorted “wide load” trucks. He put on 750k mile on his Outback 2.5, but he had his CVT replaced every 250k miles which is a far cry from the 1 million mile Toyota Tundra, or the 500k miles on the older Subarus with the 4EAT transmission.

When you get dumped into 75 mph traffic with no merging lane, your screwed. Even red lining gets you to 60 mph in 10 seconds or more. The reality is you have to push them way harder than you should have to and as result, they will fail. 150hp is just not enough for a heavy awd car.

We have the driveway from hell and joke that if people visit us in the winter, we have ‘em until spring.

Flash forward 15 years or so, and we own two: a 2016 Crosstrek and a 2019 Forester. Can't put a finger on it, but there is something special about driving them. They aren't fast, nor are they "manly" by any stretch, but they are quirky in their own way and that is why I enjoy driving them. The dealership is also pretty good about fixing problems/defects when they occur and not taking us to the cleaners every time like the American brands. In 5 years or so, I could definitely see myself buying another one. Probably a hybrid Outback if that is available.

We are on our third Subaru. The first was a 2005 Forester purchased in August of 2004. Drove that on until August of 2016 with zero issues. Gave that Forester to the daughter who drove it a couple more years. We purchased a full decked out 2017 Outback 3.6r Limited. The 2017 which had build quality issues, I work in radar and when I drove that outback near a radar, it would just die! It took Subaru of America to make the dealer to even check it out. They could not find the issue. I offered to drive the car by a local radar with their OBD II tool. They declined. When we got the notice from Subaru that they were extending the CVT drive train warranty to 10 years, I traded it in for a 2019 Outback 3.6r Limited. So far the 2019 is a winner, Does not die near radars..... My two issues with the new Subaru is no full size spare tires and no virtual gauge package.

Subaru is one of the least prepared in terms of transitioning to EVs. Unlike the Germans after Dieselgate the Japanese still have their heads stuck in the sand, and are pretending that hybrids are the future. Even GM and Ford are starting to transition to EVs. Dual motor EVs are relatively easy and inexpensive to make (especially if the 2nd motor is only used to provide AWD on demand) and they're going to be much more common, which will eat into Subaru's AWD fanbase. Conventional AWD transmissions with transfer cases are more complex and expensive to maintain.

Simple: they make practical cars. Most Subarus blur the line between hatchback, wagon, and SUV. It gives you plenty of cargo space and passenger room without guzzling gas or taking up loads of space. They're also one of the only companies to make AWD standard. If you live somewhere with a lot of snow and can't afford to buy a big premium package SUV, you'll probably wind up with an Impreza. They last forever, too, not to mention that they're actually enjoyable to drive.
