I like working on Subarus for that reason, but they are still statistically more expensive for maintenance and repairs than Toyotas on average. (Not for me though, I do everything but bodywork on my cars).
That said, the new Prius and GR cars from Toyota (who also has a big stake in Subaru) are really attractive. Also, the E-CVTs in Toyota and Subaru hybrids are really nice and low wear designs. The non-e Subaru CVTs haunt my nightmares. I have a crosstrek CVT with 133k miles on it and tightly crossed fingers…
