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!

I bought my last car purely on emotion and learned my lesson the hard way so put many hours into my due diligence this time around. Didn't find anything that scared me tooooo much.
I will be able to tell in only a couple of years though as I do about 40K miles a year!
