It is indeed! I don't know what exactly you'd like to know, so I'll say what I think, if you want to know more, feel free to ask - I'll try to help! 3.0 H6 is probably one of the best of Subaru's engines family - reliable and robust! (Not only my opinion) 5EAT is indestructible transmission (some complain it is slow, well, not for me, you just need to know how to cooperate with transmission e.g. by using acceleration pedal and even if it is slower, than some other AT, durability is more important for me). You can find information that head gasket is prone to get blown, 2.5 has that problem, 3.0 almost never face that issue, as long as you just care about your coolant level and your radiator (I've just changed mine, it was leaking but after 17 years of use it's rather understandable). I've got it for 1.5 year now (20k km made by me, 238k km in common) and nothing but oil/filters and brakes (and this radiator) needed to be changed, no problems at all, electronics works perfectly fine. Just remember to check for rust, espacially if you live in an area where they use salt during the winter - rust is typical problem for Japanese cars, but still Subaru is not the worst, especially Legacys IV/Outbacks III (and Legacys III/Outbacks II, Foresters and Imprezas are more prone to rust). And Symmetrical AWD (5EAT also has stock rear VLSD) is probably the best AWD you can ever drive, it's safe, but is letting you to drift BUT you can never completely lose control unless you are really trying to.

@@GregersLife I know it may sound like I don't see any cons of this car or I'm in love with it ...well, actually I am in love, but this car is really awesome, addictive and enjoyable! It was my dream since I was a kid, but I had other cars I liked, but I've read opinions about them and this one had the best ones! People are afraid of boxer engines as they are not well know, yes, they are but they are that same reliable and durable (at least H6), the rest (suspesnion, brakes, bulbs, whatever) is not complex, this car is made to make driver's life easier, not to complicate, it's clearly seen that Subaru didn't want to show off that if this brand is quite niche then they will put effort to make it completely impossible to maintain. If you ever wanted to have Subaru, especially H6, I sugest you to try it! Comparing to 2.5 and 2.0, people say H6 is the only one that is giving a good driving performance, 2.0 and 2.5 has 4EAT which takes away any good performance, H6 with 5EAT is still not a speed demon (0-100 km/h up to 7,2 s) (AT always takes away some power and AWD is not without significance), drives smooth, gives enough power to drive dynamically, for me this car is absolutely enough!
