Unpopular take: my 2005 Subaru Outback with the 2.5L head gasket issue was actually more reliable than my buddy's 2012 Ford Focus
Everyone always trashes those EJ25 engines for blowing head gaskets around 100k miles, but at least you could fix it for like $1500 and move on. My buddy's Focus had that stupid DPS6 dual clutch transmission that started shuddering at 40k miles and Ford quoted him $4k for a replacement. I'll take a predictable failure over a grenading gearbox any day lol. Has anyone else dealt with that DPS6 nightmare?

Man, you never hear anyone talk about how a known problem is way easier to plan for than a total mystery failure.
