Yeah, the OP probably needs to report back after a few quality oil changes. It would be especially unfair if he is basing these remarks on a brand new car that hasn't broken in. Although it still might not be as good as the best inline 4 engines from Honda, Toyota, and BMW.
I do feel that Subaru probably could have done a little bit better with this engine like giving it forged Mahle full floating pistons for lower friction/higher RPM performance but it was obviously made at a cost. But I love how it has good torque down low - I just wish it didn't lose out on that torque in the mid-range.
