"Lots to love, but one big thing to hate"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My engine seized up at only 80,000 miles and now needs to be replaced and/or rebuilt.

General comments?

I love everything about this car, but I don't know if I will ever buy another one as my Legacy should have run close to 200,000 miles without ever having the engine seize up. It was very disheartening as this was my very first car.

What were the circumstances around its "seizing up"? Cause engines just don't quit like that.

Usually cars seize up due to poor maintenance. In many cases, Subaru's leak oil, and this problem means always having to replace oil. Not doing so could result in a premature death for the engine.
