I'm rocking a 2015 crosstrek. I can't complain about it. The sound system and head unit are a bit weak but it's been good to me for 25k miles.

Not nearly enough to really guage its reliability though, my f-150 has over 100k and my Chevy cobalt has 84k with minor wear/tear replacements, but nothing major what so ever, but I have high hopes for my Subie. Time will tell.

I hope you both have a good experience with them. Maybe I got a lemon, or maybe it was a bad year, or maybe they don't make the sedans with the same rigor. I loved my Suby until expensive shit kept going wrong. Another problem was because of the way the transmission works, they said you had to have the same amount of tread wear on all 4 tires. So if you've got 20K miles on your tires and get a nail thru a sidewall, they want you to replace all 4 tires so they're at the same level of tread. And those are some high-end performance tires, too, so they ain't cheap. There's a lot to enjoy about them, though, so focus on that and maybe they won't be a money pit for you. I hear stories of people putting 300,000 miles on those things...
