Subaru is now owned by Toyota, and many think the build quality of the vehicles have dropped somewhat..

That said they are very popular over here and seem to be reasonably reliable other than what already been mentioned.

We also get them with the boxxer diesel engine and again, the seem to be well liked.

I have ridden in a few and at a shade over 6' 1" I have never felt cramped and always had plenty of head room..

I had an older petrol Subaru a few years back and I used to suprise people where I took it..Eventually tin wormed killed it in the months after a river crossing was deeper than I anticipated; apparently its not good when the bow wave goes up over the hood! lol Still got it accross, although I think it was only firing on 2 cylinders for a while afterwards...
