I bought mine new in 2014. It now has a little over 97K miles on it.
No major issues for the first 65K miles.
Catastrophic engine failure at 65K miles. The oil pump ring exploded, starving the engine of oil and spinning at least two bearings and wrecking one of the heads. Replaced at a dealership under warranty.
Third and fifth gears turned crunchy after the engine swap. Tech said it was normal Subaru crunchy transmission. Odd that this "normal" condition didn't start until the engine was swapped (with the same transmission).
Oil leak at 96K miles dripping on the catalytic converter and causing stink and smoke. That may have been an issue with having a shop-built engine dropped in when the first one died.
Throwout bearing and clutch at 97K miles, replaced in a local shop. Now I have some weird vibrations and rattly noises between 1K and 2K RPM, especially under load. The clutch is still in the break-in period, so I'm hoping this is something that will go away.
Would do it all again. Would also buy the extended 100K mile warranty again.
