Wow! Did Subaru put this video together? None of the engines had any problematic areas or weaknesses! I find that a tiny bit suspicious. I had a 2000 Outback with apparently the EJ25, and there were some issues with oil leaks, etc. Can't be sure it wasn't one of the family drivers, but the clutch didn't hold up either, whereas my other MT cars didn't have clutch issues. I guess you were only covering Outback engines, but the F20 seems to be fine. I've put over 130K on my Forester XT and it has held up well.

I was planning on getting an outback wilderness until I discovered that they now use silicone glue instead of a head gasket. This is gonna mean needing a new head gasket at 100,000 miles. Not a good move Subaru. You lost a customer

Most every manufacturer uses silicon on the valve covers now of days. Head Gaskets are still standard steel multi layered gaskets, silicone cannot withstand the extreme temperatures that are needed to seal the head to the engine block.
