Same as not all Mazda's had perfect engines and certainly had some serious rust issues for many years.

No, not all Mazda engines were perfect. The one in my Miata died of a broken crankshaft nose. I was lucky and made it to 300,000 km before it did so.
It would be fair to say that I bought the car on emotion and am doing due-diligence after the fact. Spoke with a mechanic who had served time at Subaru dealership and he asked me if the oil burning at start-up had begun yet..."They all do it around year three" was his observation. Can't say as that gave me the warm fuzzies.
All I need is ten years total and maybe 150,000 miles and I will be good. The question to be answered is if I will be good enough to want to buy another Subaru product? The new Miata does look good!
