My mechanic calls Subarus "squisheroo," "sloberoo," or something like that. We've spent lots of money fixing various leaks on our Subaru Outback, which has only 60,000 miles on it. He says it has to do with Subaru's flat "boxer" engine, a good design but one that tends to develop leaks..
I've never had a problem with a Honda, but my wife wanted this Subaru and it has been nothing but trouble - but my wife still likes it.
