I don't understand why you're all going crazy and raging about Consumer Reports?
The twins have a shitload of issues and the manufacturers are being pretty awful about fixing them. The cars have been on the market for a year and a half and they still haven't managed to produce a HPFP that doesn't make your car sound like a 10 year old hooptie. DI / cam issues much? How about the fact that our car, which has poor low end torque thus requiring you to wring out the engine, has an ECU map which causes detonation upon any sort of rapid throttle change -- including lifting? Or that there's a fixed version of the ECU but dealers aren't allowed to flash it? Tail light condensation. GPS issues. Rattles / squeaking from speaker grills, windows, the rear deck, etc. Windows scratching themselves or not sealing. The list goes on and on.
Toyota / Subaru absolutely, 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt deserve those reliability ratings for the twins, it'd be a crime to tell uninformed buyers (see: readers of CR) otherwise.
