@Kemonophonic:

If the full embracing of the CVT was not bad enough, I see now that most Subaru models have not only EGR emissions systems, but they are water-cooled EGR systems. The system that when not sucking away power due to carbon deposits (as Subaru has not yet addressed the shortcomings of direct injection, and are running badly out of date crankcase ventilation systems), it is turning your engine into a Frosty machine, as it begins pumping coolant backwards into your engine when the (plastic and aluminum) water-to-exhaust heat exchanger fails.

At least the newer engines have exchanged head gasket failures with only timing cover leaks. And CVT leaks. And extreme carbon problems; when I (briefly) worked @ Subaru, we saw vehicles with barely 10K on the clock coming in with flashing CEL because of deposit induced misfire, needing combustion cleaning before even a 2nd oil change.
