Subaru is somewhere in the middle it has a powertrain failure rate of 1.3%-1.7% @Tcoat is guessing pretty spot on for the average and probably lower than most people would assume cheap sports cars to be given the history of sports car reliability. |

My pulled out of my ass guess for the Twins was 2%. Since the worst of the best was 1.38% and the best of the worst was 1.7% then we can assume that Subaru as a whole falls someplace in between. This means that I was off someplace between .62% and .30%. We can consider that maybe (just maybe) that Subaru fell into the middle of the didn't make a list crowd and call it 1.54%. That means an asstimate of 2% is not too shabby for a guess based upon posts on a forum (if I do say so myself). Loads of assumptions there of course but when you look at the MG Rover or even Audi rates all of a sudden these engines look pretty damn reliable.

I rest my case! 2013 Engine "reliability issues" fuel pump replaced 55913 km Warranty covered - 3rd repair - chirping sound, 2x replaced fuel pump, this time replace all cam gears 20968 km irregular idle 58652 km High pressure fuel pump for the direct injection system that is in the engine bay and runs of the camshaft made a high pitch chirping noise at idle when the engine was warm 19342 km Fuel pump still chirping. New fuel pump ordered in accordance with TSB. Installed later in the month. 35484 km Car bought back owing to chronic fuel pump chirping. New car does it as well unless use ethanol-free fuel. 15590 km Chirping sound from engine. Dealer replaced fuel pump at no cost under warranty. The repair did not fix the problem. I'm coming up on the 15,000 mile service soon so when I take it in for that I plan to ask them to look at the chirping sound again. 30000 km Fuel pump made an abnormal noise. Replaced Under warranty 32258 km Chirping noise caused by fuel pump. 5000 km Stupid high pressure fuel pump for fuel injection is chirping like crazy. Widespread on the BRZ and FRS. They need to address this design flaw.

About 25,000 miles total on mine, 3000 of those being track miles (25+ track days). Engine is running strong. Only thing I've replaced is a coil pack.
I take care of the engine to the extent possible (don't push the engine until oil temps > 170 F, use an oil cooler, tweak the tune based on knock in the track datalogs, etc.) but the engine seems stout so far.

Oh shit! Now I have to calculate a whole new reliability rate to take the Toyota fuel delivery system on a Subaru engine into account. Better break out the slide rule.

I would love to see Toyota design and build a boxer 4 from scratch. Porsche has demonstrated that you can make a very high RPM, high power boxer engine, I just think Subaru doesn't want to put the effort into R&D. |
