Which Is Really Tougher: Mazda or Subaru? (Fans Won’t Be Happy)

Which Is Really Tougher: Mazda or Subaru? (Fans Won’t Be Happy) Educational value: Every mechanic I've trusted over the years will tell you the same thing. Engine simplicity wins in the long run. And that's where Mazda starts to pull ahead right out of the gate.Mazda's committed to their Skyactiv engine philosophy, and the 2.5-liter naturally aspirated inline-four is the heart of their lineup. It shows up in the Mazda3, the CX-5, the CX-50, and even the larger CX-90 in certain trims. This engine uses a high compression ratio, direct injection, and conventional port injection to avoid carbon buildup issues. It's about as straightforward as modern engines get. No timing belt to replace every 60,000 miles, no complex turbo plumbing on the base models, just clean combustion and predictable maintenance intervals. I've seen these engines routinely hit 200,000 miles without major work beyond oil changes and spark plugs.Now compare that to Subaru's FA and FB series boxer engines. On paper, the horizontally opposed layout gives you a lower center of gravity, which genuinely helps with handling. But from a reliability standpoint, we've seen persistent issues. The FB series, which powers the base model Outback and Forester, has documented oil consumption problems. We're talking owners having to add a quart between changes, and Subaru's response was essentially that burning oil is within normal specifications. That might be technically true, but it's not what customers expect from a modern engine.The turbocharged FA engines have their own headaches. Wastegate rattle on the WRX motors, oil dilution concerns in cold climates, and valve spring recalls that affected thousands of vehicles. Even the newer FA24 turbo in the Ascent and Outback XT has had reports of connecting rod failures, though those seem isolated to specific production batches.Then there's the elephant in the room. Head gaskets. Subaru's older EJ engines were notorious for this, and while the newer FA series improved things, mechanics still see head gasket issues pop up more often than they should. It's not every car, but it's enough that used Subaru buyers specifically budget for potential head gasket replacement around 120,000 miles.Accessibility matters too.
