I've never heard of a Subaru making it past 85K.

Subarus are unreliable? ::blink blink:: That's honestly the first I've ever heard of it...Subies out here have the reputation for lasting pretty much forever. I still see mid-1970s Brats cheerfully trundling along the roads.

Purely anecdotal evidence: My own manual-transmission Subaru, Forester Grump, is ten years old and at 120k miles, the only repair cost I've ever had (outside of normal maintenance items for the major milestones) was replacing the NOC sensor at 80,000 miles. The gas mileage is not as good as that of my beloved 1991 Honda Civic (32 city, 40 hwy) but it's pretty decent for an all-wheel drive vehicle: 25 city, 30 hwy).

I love, love, live driving it--engine is peppy, seats are firm but comfortable, and everything is scaled for someone at my 5'7" height (though, admittedly, I have not driven a BMW or Porsche, so I don't have an accurate comparison).

And it's red. :-)
(Okay, to be fair, I wouldn't buy a black car with black interior, either.)
