Subaru’s Boxer Engine Lasts 300,000 Miles, But Its CVT Dies At 120,000

Subaru’s boxer engine really is one of the longest-lasting powerplants in the industry right now, and nobody’s disputing that. And yet, if we check in with our marketplace and look for the cheapest used Subaru Outbacks, we find very few models with more than 200,000 miles on the odometer. Even models in the 175,000 range are relatively scarce.
