As a Subaru owner, I can sort of agree they are not the most reliable after 100-120k, but at least they feel solid and are generally fixable when compared some Korean or American models that cost more to fix than buying another one.

Also, I am not sure how reliable Nissan is now, but they took a big dive in both reliability and build quality from around the 2010s their cars felt like cheap plastic. My 1998 Nissan Sentra outlasted my cousin’s 2005 (and 98 was already not as good as earlier 2000s models).
