So you’re driving a car that has a 3 year track record and denigrating a car that has numerous instances of exceeding 300000 miles because of a repair that costs $1200?

Odd choice considering the cost of a battery pack.

I agree. And you'll note that I've never claimed either to be BIFL or known to be particularly reliable or low maintenance. Only that Subaru is not.

Subarus are reliable and low maintenance. So what I’m saying is you don’t know what you’re talking about.

I think the issues are a bit overblown online, and mostly resolved with recent models (OP is looking for a new car after all). The ~2000-2013 models were more notorious for these issues.
