hey im a newb when it comes to boxer engines, infact all engines haha, i understand the theory behind everything but ive never actually played around with modding. atm ive got a IS300 with a stock 2jz (N/A) and ive heard alottt about that engine bieng very solid and reliable.
My question is what about the subie engines? are they reliable? im talking about stock engines.
My cousin had a 2.0L Impreza (N/A) and it started leaking oil only after 130,000 kms :S that is just rediculous if this is "normal" for a boxer.

fill me in guys are they as reliable as toyota engines or not?
