Nothing in life is guaranteed except taxes and death. Older Foz's had CVT and engine issues that have since been resolved. The new 2017+ have been very strong and reliable. However, with that being said, like anything, no manufacturer is perfect and even Toyota has lemons and folks with Subaru's still experience issues. Buy what you feel comfortable with and what you like. Nothing lasts forever.
I have owned Subarus dating back to 2013 (13 Impreza, 15 Legacy, 17 Forester XT, 17 Impreza and another 19 Forester) and have owned 5 and never had a single issue that wasn't easily and permanently resolved.
