Going solely by the number of users here, and the number of failures, I would chalk it up to a very rare occurence, freak factory defect, who knows. Many other performance engines have had problems, but people still love them. If you're more worried about worrying, then sell everything and go live in a padded room. Otherwise, just enjoy the car and maintain it well. there's a 99%+ whatever chance you'll be perfectly fine.
And the powertrain warranty is 5yr/60k.

Agreed. Look at much of the demographics that buy these cars. Many of these cars are driven
VERY hard. Based on that even new Honda engines fail. Just go read their forums.
Still Toyota and Subaru should not be denying claims unless they can prove abuse or neglect.
