I haven't had much serious problem yet with my 13, but I'm only at 35k kms, but I do have a couple of things go down last fall. A gas tank gage is 3/4 at full tank, I've seen discussions on it; and a coil code 351 or something. All known/common things that happened to other people. Not to mention horrible crickets, which are gone now I believe and all other weird noises and squeaks. Not to mention half-assed quality all around. Reading along some of the disasters on here, my conclusion is, it would be really hard to convince myself to buy another Subaru. With the low mileage I do with this car, I could probably deal with older 911 and not feel bad dumping money maintaining it. I also made peace with the fact that if car fucks up big time, I'll deal with it as much as I can, maybe 5-6k tops for engine stuff, beyond that I'm dropping it like a hot potato. The fact that engine problems are often (or maybe I percieve posts this way) solved by replacing expensive parts or many parts at a time does not give me much faith, like you said.

I totally get your point and anything major that happens will put me on the same page, time to get rid of it and move on. It would be much more sad and expensive if you'd buy a car twice as expensive and have to shell out for expensive repairs.
