2012 legacy. 2.5 auto
Discussion
Looking at a wagon with about 70000on it. No documented history😨 but good MOT history and looks decent. Offered with good service and new belts, decent Subaru dealer warranty
Question. Autobox (5 speed) is claimed to be "sealed for life" ....Really????)
Anything to look out for?
My Subarus have been 2002 , 2005 and 2008 with 2.5, 3.0 and 2.0 engines, all autoboxes.Never had one this new!

Thank you very much for that comprehensive and thoughtful reply.
The dealer hasn't bothered to reply to any of my follow up questions. .not even what is the outstanding recall!
I'm off to Germany for a few days in the 2003 Legacy...first time it's been over the water I think. There is a good deristricted section on my route, so it will be interesting to find out "wottle she do, mister"☺☺
I think I will " make my excuses and leave" the 2012 car. Plenty more fish in the sea...and it hasn't got frame less windows either!

A catch up! Thanks for the helpful remarks...I watched the you tube Japanese video! Pity mine isn't an umpteen bhp like the one being ragged round the track! The 2.5 auto is no ball of fire, in particular the box, if left to its own devices, sometimes gets lost and wonders where to go!
The German trip went well. I saw comfortably over 110 several times, but the weather was VILE and I wasn't keen on overly high speed because of the rain. So I had to pick my moments! The car is still going well. only current issue is the heater (and aircon) goes funny after about 30 mins....It goes cold unless I turn it up to 30 and balance it a bit around there...any ideas? Also the engine light comes on periodically & tells me the Cat isn't working properly....I don't believe it as the rotten exhaust was replaced shortly after I bought the car (with a new approved cat). My reader clears it without a problem, but why is it doing it? Plugs, sensors? due an oil change service in about 1000 miles so the "Men" can investigate I hope.
