I've owned 2 Subarus since 1980. The 80 model lasted 125000 miles and the 1990 AWD wagon now has 212000 and still going. Still would buy another one regardless of their adv market.
My '84 Subaru was a dud. It needed major work after only 77,000 miles. Since then I've had a Mercury and a Ford - both OK. Next time around, probably a Honda or Toyota.
