We have a '10 Forester we bought new at "cash for clunkers" time in '09. Have 151,000 plus miles on it, mostly highway driving. Best car we've ever owned. We've done NOTHING to it but change oil/filters, battery and brake pads, not even tires yet (Yokohama Geolanders), although it's due. Still looks and rides great. Will be buying another one if this one ever dies, which doesn't look like any time soon. Recalls were so minor we didn't bother to get them done (no dealers close to us and we need it everyday to get to work). It does use some oil now. Still getting 30 + mpg, EPA rating is 24/26. They look very simple to work on but don't know about the turbo models. Have you looked at that pancake engine? Physically about the size of something in a SCUT tractor, being a flat 4 it's only two cylinders deep, but wider than a regular 4. I've looked up the cost of replacement engines and transmissions and they are no more than any other 4 cyl. motor. I think the myth of them being hard to work on and expensive is just that, a myth.
Subaru did have some problems with head gaskets and transmissions in the Outback in the the mid 2000s. A friend had one and traded it off for an '08 and he loved it and had no problems with it. He traded that for a Toyota Highlander (his wife wanted a bigger vehicle than the Outback).
I don't think you can go far wrong with the '15 Forester.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
