CarComplaints.com Notes: Is burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles normal? Depends on who you ask. While Subaru says it's within "normal specifications," owners wonder why they need to top off their oil reservoir 4 times between every 5,000 mile oil change.

Massive crashing sound, car broke down on the side of the street. Had to get it fixed at the dealership, which took 3 weeks and cost $3200. The parking brake cable snapped so hard it destroyed part of the wheel assembly, which needed extensive repairs.
