It's very good so far, though of course we're very early in the ownership cycle. I'm aware of the head gasket issue that Subaru has had for a long time, though supposedly "it's fixed now." We'll see, but that's a problem that tends to rear its head at around the 10 year/100,000 mile mark.
They have also tended to eat front drive axles due to proximity to the exhaust. That's another problem that tends to manifest itself way down the road.
A friend recently bought a 2004 Outback that's a low-mileage, rust-free creampuff. Right away he had to have the head gaskets and front axles replaced. But having done that he'll probably be good for another 10 years.
