148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 35960 mi | Oil leak |
| 41000 mi | Engine not idling as smooth as I thought it should. Live data showed high short term fuel trim of 18% and low long term fuel trim of -16%. I cleaned the throttle body and it now idles much smoother. Short term fuel trim is now +/- <1% and long tern is -6%. Ecu was not reset and it runs better, with more get up and go that it ever did. |
| 72000 mi US $1000 |
Throttle body |
| 4800 mi | ALL of the indicator lights were on. Turned out a loose gas cap did it. They reset the code, and all is good now. |
| 24000 mi US $15 |
Engine had stuttering issue on idle. Cause was found to be a premature clogged air filter supposed to last 30,000 lasted 24,000 could have been caused by high pollen count this year. |

148-horsepower 2.0L H4 5-speed manual AWD
| 28900 mi | Factory defect of valve spring cause catastrophic engine failure. Entire engine had to be replaced. |
| 44014 mi | Car experienced catastrophic engine failure in June 2017 due to factory defect. Entire engine was REPLACED. Head gasket installed during repair was faulty, but went unnoticed. Car overheated at full speed due to head gasket failure. Brought to shop in September 2017 to replace head gasket. Car was burning through coolant at an alarming rate and Check Engine light was on. History: factory default caused catastrophic engine failure at <29,000 miles. Engine was REPLACED June of 2017. Head gasket installed during that repair was damaged but not noticed. Car returned to shop September 2017 after head gasket failed. Head gasket replaced again. Started burning through coolant again, came close to overheating. Brought in with suspicion of warped head. Dealership found no fault with head; could not immediately determine source of problem. Replaced all seals in cooling system; repaired oil control valve. Time will tell if this solved the problem. |
| 45900 mi | This car continues to have coolant getting into the engine. After several attempts to fix it, to no avail. The latest trip was for a check engine light, that turned out to be the second time the cam position through a code. Patrick Subaru cleared the code, and it came right back on the next day. |
