Anyone had any experience with Subaru's? Boxer engines any good?

I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with scoobies -) No I'm not after an impreza, I'm looking for something bigger than that, probably a forester XT or an outback, both AWD which is fun and both pretty quick. Forester is ugly though, but pretty cheap and Outback has no turbo -) but looks decent has a pretty big boot and loads of extras...

I heard that servicing could be pretty expensive and something about the spark plugs - difficult to replace? Also having twin exhaust for Outback might be an issue - as surely they rust and replacing 2 could be costly...

In terms of reliability are they like good old Toyota's or worse?
I know that they drink a lot, but might consider LPG option.

Any thoughts regarding these cars would be appreciated!

i did spark plugs on a wrx classic a few years back and although it was pretty awkward, it wasnt horrendous.

i think reliability is ok if looked after, but as they are now getting old and cheap you will have to be careful!
