Subaru's are generally bullet proof, so surprised about your misfortune. Have only had Subaru's now for over 10 years.

my previous mechanic decided to go for the cheaper belts and reason why it failed earlier than it was supposed to, bent all the con-rods and so on, so much can happen in a few seconds. But it's going like a dream the last 2 years and my wife's has been great and they do have a great reputation
