It's funny all these people blaming Subaru for everything.

Go to a Subaru forum and the loyalists have been bemoaning the design changes etc that have happened since the Toyota partnership started. It's all about perspective.

For what it's worth, Subaru has an excellent overall reliability track record. The older NA EJ's were bombproof (EJ22 especially). The headgasket issues were a problem but they were fixed. No worse than the sludge problems Toyota had in the 90's.

I know of many EJ's with 250k+ miles (Some up to 400k!) with no issues.

Let's face it. Sometimes cars have little foibles that take ironing out.
