Supporting Your Cylinders - Open, Semi-Closed, Or Closed Deck?

I never knew this about Subaru, the head gasket issue persists, the 2.5 is open deck, its alot cheaper to make (remember the commercial) and this cost cutting design apparently allow the head(s) to move around-gaskets anyone?.

NAS; never another subaru

Your Subaru WILL need head gaskets-your newer Subaru has a transmission which CANNOT be repaired or rebuilt, only replaced with either one from a bone yard (feeling lucky?) or with a reman for many thousands of dollars but it does come with a one year warranty.

Does this really make any sense?

Don't buy, you won't cry-maybe a little peace with a lease.

Remember to keep your eye on the bottle.

forgot to tie this into the op query,

look for a dealer which can/will put your mind at ease with the above
