I've seen friend's Subaru autos take a beating and keep on ticking. To see them take top-rating in this rating isn't a total shock to me.

I’ve had an outback for 12 years now. It’s needed a new alternator and some spark plugs and spark plug wires. I’m getting ready to do the timing belt service. Not bad for 12 years of mountain driving.
I’m thinking of learning to do everything on these vehicles myself and just buy used ones.

Not a single S. Korean automaker on the list?
Deeply flawed survey. But its Consumer Reports, so...

I love my Outback..both of them. I bought a 2000 outback in 2002, just handed it down to the daughter. It has 170k+ miles and a leaking head gasket (about 2900 to fix). It will last awhile longer if she keeps the oil up. I bought a 2011 on New Year’s eve on a darn good deal. So far, so good. They cost a lot in maintenance but they take a lot of use in stride.

Subaru's ONLY problem in the past was head gaskets!!...but the company stood behind them....I just gave one away with 260K on it...still running like a top and a lil tank in the snow!

We’re on our third Outback. Never had a problem with any of them.
Wish Subaru made a minivan to rival the Sienna and Odyssey.
