^^ Some are known to burn oil (Subaru says 1 qt/1k miles is ok) but my doesn't, although I didn't rev over 4500 RPMS much for the first 1k miles (followed Subaru's break in procedure). Working on the engine may be a pain as well since it is a boxer engine and is horizontal (I know changing out the spark plugs can be a pain) but other than that it's great.
