Agreed. Their long running opposed 4-cylinder engine goes forever and is easy to repair by a home mechanic. I had the classic head gasket blowout on one (2004 Forester) a few years ago and it was like repairing a lawn mower, done in only a few hours with no special tools other than a torque wrench.

I was sad when some dreg with no license or insurance t boned me and totalled it.
