Sorry about that. My Mazdaspeed3 has been running with no problems since 2013 despite all the concerns about VVT/timing chain problems and bad turbo seals you see all over the internet. Another Chevy of mine I once had was rife with problems even though I did all the proper maintenance.
I think it WAS a problem in older models. Caused me to get rid of my 2004 Forester. That being said, I still managed to get around 180,000 miles on it before it was an issue.
180,000 miles is the lifetime of a lot of cars, so that’s pretty good. You’d be hard pressed to find many examples of vehicles that have had no problems through 180,000 miles unless it’s a Honda or Toyota.
I’ve known plenty of people with Subarus and none have had head gasket issues. I think the problem is exaggerated because it’s memed.
My Subaru spun a rod bearing, which is apparently also a well-known problem.
