I have had six Subarus, most were Outbacks. All went over 300,000 miles and none ever had an oil leak or needed a head gasket. In fact the first one went over 600,000 miles with the original motor, trans and even turbo, but never had to do the head gasket.  That said, I changed my oil and filter every 3,000 miles and used quality oil and filter.  While I love my Subarus, I don't think I would buy a used one.  If you don't take care of them, those aluminum blocks can be a nightmare.  But if you are buying new and take care of it, they are hard to beat. I put multiple long boards inside and have as many as eleven on the roof, I will have to look for that picture.\n        \n\n\nClick to expand...\n\n\n\n\nI had one. One of the few cars I bought new. 98 Outback. Solid car but for the head gasket ar 90k. Found a guy in PA that only worked on Subarus. Used a Ford F150 and a trailer and would pick your car up, tow it to his place near Reading I think and do the head gasket job.... $1100. Only issue I had with that car...couldn't change all 4 plugs myself as I recall."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["119489"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.230960000611958, "license": "Public Domain"}
