I have a confession to make.

the chick I'm sort of seeing (which I will affectioniately refer to as simply "coug" from here on) has a 2002 legacy Outback in that red / gold on beige with 93K miles.

Frankly, if these cars are supposed to be reliable, it sure as hell doesn't seem to show.

Look above - Normy found one with a bad PS pump with 95K miles. The other one had a rebuild at 75K miles.

Now I know there could be reasons for this but still...

My brother has a 2002 Forrester that has 90K that just ate a rear wheel bearing- he don't abuse the car and it's always been immaculate. His also is oil thirsty for some reason. It's a non turbo

Coug's 02 is also an oil drinker and she's had it since new. It's also a leaker on top, it's weeping from various places. Also a non turbo 4.

They have good power and drive great but still- oil consumption and random failures. Makes you wonder.
