Po did it, it leaked and had all kind of belt issues.
I don't have much to add to the Honda storyline, except my Brother-in-law's 2019 Ridgeline is on it's 3rd set of injectors at 30k miles, the last of which Honda has decided not to cover under warranty, even though the original set, and the first replacement set were all OE Honda and changed at the dealer. It's had a few other non-Honda-like issues as well. Evidently the injector problem is well known at this point.

No, I mean, I didn't think the EJ heads would even fit on an EA. You'd think it'd be easier to just swap in an EJ engine and trans. Plus you'd get rid of the craptacular 3 main crank that was the last vestige of Subaru copy/pasting ACVW engines.
I'm pretty sure Subaru used the same strut mounts and ball joints from 1985 to the present.
Personally I think rating "new" car reliability is silly.
1) A lot of cars are still under warranty during the timeframe they are looking at
2)The average age of a car on the road is 11 years so it only covers a minority of vehicles
3A) None of the cars (older cars) with the highest likelihood of repairs needed are addressed.
3B) Those cars are also the cars that should have the most data available
There is an auto reliability tracking effort called truedelta.com that you could became a free member of if you agreed to contribute data on your car(s) on regular intervals when they emailed you. Quarterly, I believe. If nothing happened during that quarter, you simply checked the box on the form saying so, otherwise you told them what failed during that period - not counting regular maintenance items. Pretty painless. I believe I am grandfathered in by being a long term data contributor, but the site is pay access now for those not in the same spot. I think ....
