I'll first start with an obligatory Canada comment - "Does the subaru run okay on maple syrup, or will you have to find gasoline for it?"
Anyway, my grandparents bought a subie (want to say an outback, don't know what year) but were blown away with its snow handling abilities, they loved it. Donated it to my aunt and uncle in Colorado later on, and they loved it, until they blew the engine. I had to read between the lines, but it seems they ran it low on oil, so don't take that as a negative comment.
The real information is in that they bought a rebuilt engine from the subaru dealer and had it put in, and they said that failed shortly after. Don't have any details on that, sorry. Bottom line is they said the car was nickel and diming them to death, but like I said, they're not car people and the car may not have been to blame.
Hope that helps at least some.
