A “boxer” engine is a horizontally-opposed engine, such as that in your Subaru (see also: air-cooled VW, mid- or rear-engine Porsche).

The 2.5 litre engine on the Foresters is quite zippy. My problem is with the last-century transmission they come with.
A 4 speed automatic? Are you kidding me?
That, and they get subpar gas mileage. (due to being 4WD)

Too bad they refuse to address the head gasket issue, considering the aftermarket ones used in repairs will last twice as long as the OEM. That repair is a guaranteed $2500-$3000 bill before 150K miles.
