That goes for many Japanese cars from the'70's/'80's onwards. I love my 
Subaru Impreza. I have had 4 Subaru's by now and the only thing going 
wrong may be the clutch at about 100.000-150.000 miles and may be a 
rubber sleeve of the drive shafts once or twice. One I drove for nearly 
300.000 miles (Impreza 1.8) and it was still in good nick by the time I 
traded it in for a bigger Legacy Estate, the second was driven for 
150.000 hard miles ,short distance only, until it succumbed to 
corrosion, mechanically still perfect, never had any issues apart from 
rust after 12 yrs of salted roads (700cc Mini Jumbo, 100mph, wifes car, 
amazing little devil of a car), the third was crashed at 180.000miles 
(Legacy 2.0), still running perfect and the present one I bought 
recently with 70.000miles on the clock, just run in (Impreza 2.0, 2000).
For every day driving there is not one EU/UK/US car that can beat them 
on reliability.
