How does the 2.0 in the newer Subies stack up against the older 2.5 engines - longevity/problem wise.  This is the 148 HP non turbo.  I see the Impreza mpg is rated at 36 mpg for the sedan with the CVT.  Is that a good number or is it over stating it a little?

 

We have the 2014 Forester with the 2.5/CVT and that one will be a member of the family for years to come, I'm sure.

I'm hoping to pick up another car for a kid soon and the information is much appreciated.

 

Thanks for any input.

Having researched this further it seems this engine has an oil buring problem that starts as early as 15,000 miles.  Has anyone else seen this in the 2012 - 2013,  2.,0 engines?
