Large scale scam to get more money out of the insurance co’s?
They are pretty solid, but you have to be willing to live with/ignore certain things, expecially on the 2.5L SOHC motors from around that time. Head gasket problems, valvetrain noise that pretty much doesn’t go away, mediocre gas mileage, etc. Although it is true, nothing extremely drastic goes wrong on them.
I’m interested to see how the 2012 legacy we just got holds up. Thing some crazy how gets like 34mpg on the highway, despite being AWD and gigantic.
