I'm considering buying a new Forester with the 2.5 and I'm curious to know about any quirks of this engine. ??
Sounds like it's a decent engine but I know most engines have their own issues that it pays to be aware of. Excessive oil usage, timing chain / belt issues, leaking intakes, head gasket issues etc etc.
I want a drivetrain that with normal maintenance I can look to get 200k+ miles out of. After having an 07 Accord (4 cylinder) for the last 6 years the bar has been set very high.
Thanks.
