Subaru does not make the best engines compared to their Japanese brethren, let's be honest with ourselves. They're pretty hit-or-miss. If I had a nickel for every shortblock I saw replaced during my 2 years in sales at Subaru or my 2 years as a service manager with Firestone... well I'd probably have a couple bucks at least. Not to say Porsche is perfect but apart from the very small IMS failure rate (which I bit the bullet and spent two grand replacing as PM), I haven't heard of any other issues.
