Valve seats and guides are an issue but that is when the miles are starting to rack up but not high considering a Subaru, it should easily see 300k. A car should not need a valve job that early. Most of the reports I have seen as early as 125k & up. I think many would agree that is premature. do some research specific to this also opt for the 3.0 vs the 2.5 and see if your research denotes one engine vs the other with this specific problem? Good luck otherwise I would drive one great cars everyone will think you are a liberal

WTF???
Many cars with full-time AWD and an automatic transmission is like this. There's a clutch that joins the front and rear halves of the power train together, and it's not designed for one half to be constantly rotating at a different speed from the other.

Nah, I just really love them. I have pretty strong opinions about any car brand you might mention. I knew Chryslers were trashy before I could read.

Sounds like we may need to take you Outback and knock some sense into you.

Got a 2019 model late last year. Love it. They are all over the place in Colorado.

I'm on my fifth Subaru. First Outback. I love it!!! Great cars.
By the way I'm a straight, conservative, female, with a Trump magnet on mine.

I have a 2015 that recently became my teenage sons car.
It’s been a good vehicle; nearing 100k miles and it’s been pretty low maintenance.
I frequently towed a 4 kayak trailer with it over the years and it towed well, but max weight was probably less than 1000lb fully loaded.
My suggestion would be to get the 3.5 V6 if you plan on towing a camper. Mine is the 4 and while it’s done well towing what I have, if I had to do it again I would have looked for a V6

It's not a joke. Subaru is the official car of lesbians.

Test drove one, the engine auto stop at red lights and in traffic is annoying AF. I know you can turn it off but it’s several clicks deep in the menu and the car doesn’t remember the setting when you come back later.

These are my concerns about a Subaru Outback and Forester. My son has a Forester so it’s first hand knowledge. If my comments are incorrect then please say so.
It’s all wheel drive. Which means if you have a flat that cannot be repaired then all 4 tires need to be replaced. Apparently there is a risk to damaging the transmission otherwise. They say the new tire can be shaved to match the tread wear on the other 3 tires but it’s a shame to do that on a brand new tire.
The other concern is the aluminum unibody. There is a greater risk for the vehicle to be totaled from a collision. Since it’s a unibody, a collision can bend the undercarriage such that the entire unibody needs to be replaced and therefore the vehicle totaled. My son was rear ended in a somewhat minor to moderate collision and the.car was totaled since the undercarriage was bent due to the unibody. It would not have been totaled in other vehicle without a unibody

I am almost certain a Forester body is steel, but you are 100% correct that it's a unibody, and I think you make a valid point.

your dead set on a sedan it’s not that bad, lesbianism aside. Impressive ground clearance for a car, 260 hp for the turbo, etc.
Outbacks are no longer cars/wagons. They're crossover suvs. They compete with rav4s and the like.
They're comfortable, affordable, last forever, and have awd. That's why they're popular out west, but those seem like qualities people would want anywhere.
