Which years to avoid
- 2014 (2013–2014): FB25 oil consumption class-action years with the early CVT.
- 2013 (2013–2014): FB25 oil consumption class-action years with the early CVT.
- 2012 (2010–2012): End of the head-gasket-prone EJ25 era plus early CVT — double documentation needed.
- 2011 (2010–2012): End of the head-gasket-prone EJ25 era plus early CVT — double documentation needed.
- 2010 (2010–2012): End of the head-gasket-prone EJ25 era plus early CVT — double documentation needed.
What to check before you pay
- 2013–2015 FB25: oil consumption — extended warranty applied; check for the oil-consumption test paperwork
- 2010–2012 EJ25: head gasket seepage — look for oil/coolant residue on the block edges
- CVT (2010+): service-dependent; Subaru extended CVT coverage on many years
