The 2.5L engine HG problems were resolved in the model year 2003 and have not resurfaced. I'd rather have the F6 myself but realize the tune up cost will be higher. The F4 howerever needs to have a timing belt replaced at 105,000 miles which today cost is about 400-$600 dollars. Either engine should be outstanding but I opt for the 3.0. Just my thoughts. I am a 2000 Forester owner with 111,000 trouble free miles and it runs as new. Ed

When does the H6 need timing work? Is it a belt, chain, or gear driven
timing system? My wife's Legacy wagon had a timing belt change at 90,000.
It was leaking a little oil then so we basically had two repairs done at the
same time. Actually, I had them change/rebuild every maintenance item they
could get to when the front of the engine was off. That was 20,000 miles
ago and it still runs like a new one. Does she NEED a new car? No, her's
is perfectly reliable and we don't hesitate to get in it and take a 500+
mile trip. Does she WANT a new car? You bet! But only a Subaru.

2.5i or 3.0?
