What you guys believe, the twin can be same as like those 90's other toyotas?

Some 90s Toyotas were reliable, not all.

The Diff is Toyota, the Fuel injection is Toyota, the head unit (for FRS/86) is a Toyota
The sheet metal and other metals are probably the same supplier(s) that provides metal to many Japanese manufacturers.
Toyota owns part of Subaru.
The engine is high comp N/A, made first for this platform before they started using it in other applications. So no real history longer than 7 years to go by. You can't simply lump this engine design into the same reliability as other Subaru engine designs. 1-because Toyota had a hand in it (much more than the MKV). 2-because One engine family is not inherently as reliable as a totally different engine family. Toyota example: 7M vs 2JZ.
Transmission - so far reliable. People have only been killing transmissions from higher hp than it can handle.
What's more reliable, a Japan made Subaru or a US made Toyota?
