Need to get a new car soon, considering the Outback/Forester. What's /o/ got to say about them? I recall that they have head gasket issues, but I don't know on which engines or what years. Any firsthand experience? Thanks b/o/o.

bought a 04 forester xt few months ago, been cool so far. horrendous wind noise coming from the side mirror area tho
>>
How many miles, and anything wrong with it when you bought it/in the time you've owned it? And what did you pay?
>>
>>16514704

paid 6400 for it, about 116k miles, no problems so far other than a small oil leak coming from the oil filter than i already knew about
>>
Bought a 97 Outback with the DOHC 2.5 engine
>140k
>the previous owner had 5.5 quarts of oil in it
>need a pct valve, 20 bucks from Subaru
after that, it's been running pretty good but here's some cons I have with it.
>It's slow
>Really slow
>It's not the best on mpg, 24 mpg with 70% freeway driving.
Literally owned a Riviera with a 3800 before this car and it would get 30-31 mpg easily freeway
Pros
>Boxer sound, I like it
>Space, literally going to a coupe to a wagon I literally don't regret it at all
>It's easy to navigate and park
>Sticks to the road and handle beautifully in the rain and snow

I don't regret buying
