[quote=Anonymous]We have a 2015 outback.  It has been reliable other than one major issue with the engine (it's the v4) constantly leaking oil during our first couple years with the car.  Fortunately, it was under warranty but it took around 10 days for them to fix the issue.  Apparently, they had to take the engine out of the car, take it apart and put it back to together.  Our mechanic said that oil leaks with subarus are very common and that it's just a byproduct of the design of the engine.

The other annoying, albeit more minor, issue is that car battery not being able to hold a charge.  The original batteries on all subarus are undersized apparently.  In addition, there is apparently another issue with the car battery not properly recharging itself, which leads to car batteries wearing out faster than they otherwise would.  This is an easy enough fix, but it's a huge inconvenience.

The subaru is otherwise all good and fine.  That being said, because of the foregoing issues, we will likely not get a subaru again.[/quote]
