my 2009 outback's transmission completely shit the bed at 100K...according to the mechanic it's a common problem for this year/model...called subaru and they basically said 'we consider that a wear and tear part, you're out of warranty, too bad for you, go pound sand'
maybe i'm wrong, but 100K seems a little early to me for a trans to die...very disappointing, especially for a make that touts reliability

Automatic or the stick? I'm hoping that every 30 / 60 / 90k when they (dealer) does the automatic transmission service will prevent that from happening to me. I have the same year but the Forester. I'm getting close to the 90k mark.
I do:
Thanks for buying AMERICAN, I drive a 2013 JEEP Cherokee. Not as cool as a Subaru, but I bet I can can pull you around the parking lot with the front hooks..
AMERICA baby.

That totally sucks I thought I was being a patriot and buying American. Damn.
Our 2007 Outback with 97K miles had a head gasket failure. It was about a $2000 repair and it's a common problem across many Subaru models over many years.

Not trying to hate on Subarus (seriously considering one to replace a 13YO car) but a 120K trade-in point because of repair costs seems a bit early...makes me concerned.I had an 05' and it never let me down, but the cost of maintenance exceeded a new car payment over the last year I had it. I traded it in at 120k
CITGOI don't think Citgo was ever American?
Lipton bought Good Humor in 1965. Unilever, the British-Dutch conglomerate, had bought Lipton in 1937. Unilever is now the world's biggest ice cream maker. It also owns Ben & Jerry's and Breyers.
