Well, at least I do. My wife's a bit gentler on hers...
Neither have had any engine issues whatsoever, and I've never heard about head gaskets being a problem with H4's.
I have the utmost faith in Subaru flat 4 engines, and I'm expecting my FA20 to live long and strong too.
In a combined 19 years of Subaru ownership, we've had to replace a clutch on the Impreza and rear shocks on the Forester.
Other than that, only routine servicing and tyres.  |
EJ25 is known for head gasket problem (turbo is bearing problem more)... iirc Subaru did re-call on this problem.
But Toyota is well known for head gasket problem too (mkiii supra).
I had to change the blown gaskets on my GM6 (2.5RS coupe). I was racing every month in the summer for several yrs, so it's not the same as defective head gaskets.
My point to the OP is, if you search around, there's always a negative thing bout the car production.
