      As someone from the UK, Subaru is generally super reliable. The main issue is that there are fewer Subaru garages about and the parts are harder to come by when something does go wrong. It's generally just more convenient to get a Toyota, for more proximity to garages and more parts about because Toyotas are just more abundant

      99% of cars below 60k can be improved. manufacturers gotta appeal to the majority and also make a profit, so cars naturally come out gimped. like my forte gt was pretty bad to start but modding it has made it actually feel a little bit sporty. most cars handle modifications fine, boxers are just weirdly fragile.

They finally learned from that and a few other mistakes, after they made Subaru look like an absolute nightmare in the car community.

    James just pointed out every project cars owners biggest flaw. How many are finished (in the sense that you can just hop in drive off and have a great time). Rather than just leave a ton of small issues and jump into the next project. Also the reason I quite like the money pit miata, it is running just a bit of boostcreep which is just changing the blowoff valve to a larger one. But it has few issues and is actually enjoyable.
