Diesel Subaru
I'm looking to get rid of my e46 bmw 320cd daily and was looking at maybe getting a Subaru hatch diesel, but was wondering if anyone has one or knows how realible they are?
any issues to look out for and that?

Its an assembly issue with the first generation diesel engine that causes crankshaft failure. Had my legacy engine seize solid !
The later cars, 2010 onwards, may be okay but I'm not sure if the Impreza hatch had these later engines.

had a 2010 2.0D RX for about 3 years, no problems with it whatsoever, had a couple of mods done, remap by Litchfield & a dpf back stainless exhaust with quad tailpipes. could not fault the car - the level of trim was spot on, full leather, electric drivers seat, push button start cruise control to name a few. not very good mpg though probably got around 40 to 45mpg on average.
