Stuart - That analysis doesn't square with the Subarus many of my
clients drive and tell me about.  I have one client who has been a
Subaru mechanic for 25 years who tells me the engines are rock-solid as
long as folks maintain them properly.

I've never seen a Porsche which had 175,000 miles on it, let alone on
the original motor.  I'd love to see the maintenance
records/expenditures on a such a vehicle, though!
