Like i stated earlier, I owed 08 STI, 13 Imprezza, 14 Forester, Currently own 14 Crosstrek and 17 Outback.

Just a FYI, I am a mechanical engineer and work in manufacturing. So i hate it when general broad brush statements are made due to a small percentage issues. That is all my point is. Also I do all my maintenance and work. I have rebuilt engines, transmissions etc. I have been a car/motorhead guy all my life. So i am not your typical average automotive consumer.

Back to Subies. I had the infamous oil consumption issues on both the 13 Impreza and the 14 Forester. Both went through a quart of oil every 6000 miles. I was not happy with it but it did not effect how the cars mechanically ran. Also owned a 2006 VW Jetta Turbo that went through a quart of oil every 3000 miles and were told that was normal. My 14 Crosstrek and 17 Outback burns zero oil in 7000 miles (my oil change interval). if anyone was told that a quart of oil every 300 miles was OK that that is BS. I guarantee that did not come from Subaru but from the dealer service dept that did not want to handle the situation. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with Subaru but my point it that is not the norm. For every lemon there are 1000 that are fine. There is a reason that Subaru have such a high resale value and reliability ratings.

Point me to any car company that you like and I will find you 100's of posts on forums on why they are a POS.
