What do you mean by this? What is wrong with the engine and transmission choice of Subaru that makes it a handicap?

Horizontally opposed engines are inherently less reliable due to the increase in components, an H-4 has two heads and all that entails, an I-4 has one.

CVTs are inherently more fragile than a geared transmission, they simply cannot hold as much torque.

Almost all Subarus sold in the last 3 years have these engines and transmissions and they still hang.
