Yeah replaced a few wheel bearings did you? LOL bigger hyped POS was never made. I bet your Mechanic loves them my mechanic loves him some subarus and beemers.
Small price to pay for our go-to car to use when the going is tough. What car never has to have something replaced in 119K miles?
What kind a of pansy gives a s#!t about the marketing or who else drives a certain car?? I care about buying/driving a tough car, that will take me where I want to go, when I want to go, that is safe, reliable, and holds all my shooting/hunting stuff. My Subarus have fit that bill and served me well over the 15 years that I've owned them. That's all that I care about.
BTW, that low-slung boxer engine is one of the reason that they stick like glue to the road as it lowers the center of gravity.
