I have owned an STI and my wife an Outback and while they were fine vehicles I never did understand how Subaru somehow managed to secure the undeserved reputation of reliability and the greatest AWD system. All their cars outside of the BRZ understeer like mad and the best thing you can say about them is that they are moderately priced and offer decent safety. They can't build an engine to save their life as their NA engines are gutless and their turbo ones are very average when they aren't breaking down. Even worse is that CVT's now dominate their entire lineup which screams cheap. I still consider then a 2nd tier Japanese brand lumped in with Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, Isuzu, etc.
