This right here. My previous car was a subaru Legacy (bought new 2015). I never made it to the next oil change wihout having to add oil.
Also Subaru has some proprietary maintenance aspects. Our mechanic could not do certain things are use his computer diagnostics for certain things due to proprietary aspect of Subarus. If you are inclined to take your vehicles to the dealership for maintenance, this is not a big deal. But if you use your own mechanic, keep this in mind.
Generally I liked the car, but these annoyances did wear on me over time.
