I don't consider the N55 or S55 to be superior engines to the EJ25T at all, not in reliability or modability. You might lower your nose a bit on that one. |
Ah. Ok. Well I bought my wife a Forester with EJ25T back in 2006 as I loved the old ones so much and believed the reliability was going to be rock solid. It was initially amazing. For about 3 years. Then...
...Never have I owned a more unreliable car. What a complete piece of shit. In the end you were never sure you'd make it from A to B. You'd just pray. Would steam come out of the bonnet with another head gasket blowing? Would you get another check engine light?
It cost nearly $15k in engine rebuilds until it was eventually sold for $2k. Needless to say the last car I would ever buy again is a Subaru. They were incredible last century. This century they make Alfas look like the paragon of reliability.
Do some research and you'll find many similar stories. I did.
