Hi Denny
I have a 2000 Subaru L Wagon AWD with 242,000kilometer (151,000 miles) still running good, never have head gasket problem or anything else but maintenance. Engine is great , no oil consumption, terrific handling for a wagon and especially in snow where I live with regulary minus 25 celcius degrees. As reliable as anything else and component more solid than toyota or honda. I will still buy another one anytime.
