Maybe. Timing belt done is a plus.
They do have head gasket issues, but I don't know the years affected off hand.
The problem with the quote below is that I know the 1.6L had weak head gaskets
back in the 1970s.
And don't get me started on the 1990s SVX.

The models that have this failed gasket problem are:
Impreza (from 1999 to 2011)
Forester (from 1999 to 2010)
Legacy (from 2000 to 2009)
Outback (from 2000 to 2009)
Baja (from 2003 to 2006)

I wonder about parts availability too. I read on a forum, not too long
back, about someone who was upset because their Subaru had a cracked oil
pan - cast aluminum - and there were none available even in Japan. The
vehicle was out of service until they could find something which was not
proving to be easy.
