February 28, 201610 yr Subaru Historians out there... Is the 2.0 engine reliable? Have the Head Gasket issues of the 2.5 engine haunted this engine?
February 28, 201610 yr which 2.0L? EJ205 turbo, a JDM or other non domestic market N/a EJ 2.0L or the new FB20 2.0L? If your talking about the FB20, used in 2012- current Impreza and Crosstreks, it is a decent engine. 2012 and some of 2013 have oil burning issues due to faulty rings or pistons. Subaru is replacing engines that are burning more than 1qt in 1,200 miles. I don't know what the max miles are for them to honor the warranty but my mom just had her 2012 Impreza 5spd ok'd and it has 109k miles. Burning 1qt in 600 miles.. Information online suggests it is 100k miles but evidently that's not a set in stone number
February 28, 201610 yr No, none of the 2.0 engines have ever had chronic head gasket problems. As far as other issues are concerned, that depends on what series engine you're asking about, as Matt said. The FB/FA series engines in the 2012-up cars. Or the Ej20 in the 2011 and older.
