My understanding is the mechanic failures have nothing to do with it being a flat four, but with the use of sealant rather than a gasket. Most other flat fours use gaskets, hence no problem but also the same problem is as likely on the Subie side as the Toyota side. It's just Toyota had the lion's share of the first year's production.
