The word among mechanics I've talked to is that yes, Subarus break down more often than other Japanese brands, but they're also cheap and easy to repair so the total cost is similar. The repair cost for even basic stuff on a Toyota is eye-watering.
Subaru just called me and said my shift fork and synchronizer, need to be replaced. Ironically, my extended warranty expired in Nov 2020 and I now have to pay nearly $5k to fix it! Better off getting a new tranny!
