As a Subaru guy I'll chime in. The non turbos will run forever. I had a 99 Forester L that was over 230k miles before I sold it (it was still running strong).
I currently have a 2007 Impreza WRX with over 170k miles and a 2004 Forester XT with 225k miles that both have had or need an engine rebuild. The unequal length header with the extra back pressure from the turbo tends to cause ring failure.
TLDR: they're great cars if you don't get a turbo.
