The 2.0 boxer diesel seems to have quite a high failure rate.

A bit like the 2.5 UK/US petrol blocks.

Not according to Subaru!
Would appear that they don't put as much effort into the engines that are popular outside their home territory...

Known issues with the 07 -09 engine, now sorted in the later models I believe. My 08 car went pop at 50K.

Never seen any with cracked blocks, had a couple with failed rear mains and one melted piston other than that they've been spot on up our end, But they can cost a small fortune to repair outside of warranty
