Japanese components, produced and assembled here. Fantastic vehicles, although Askuanswer thinks otherwise. There are always a certain number of any products with problems. I have been the proud owner of two used vehicles that were Subaru and I now own a 2003 Forester, which is fantastic. The last Subaru wagon I owned was a 1985 wagon that developed some engine problems with nearly 300,000 miles on it. I gave it to someone who was going to spend the money on a new engine. I decided to treat myself to a new vehicle and I am sure that I will have my Forester until it has 250,000 miles on it or more. The USA is a wonderful country, but I think that other vehicle technology has us beat. I had a well-known USA built vehicle that was just a lemon from the word go and had less than 7,000 miles on it when it would just stop running for no good reason. In a three month period it was not running or in for repairs three times for a total of nine weeks while I had to rent vehicles to get me where I was going. This was my Dad's favorite vehicle, and was actually the twelfth vehicle he had owned from this same company and the same model in his lifetime. He was is assisted living at that time and was no longer able to drive. Thank goodness he wasn't driving when the problems occurred, as I'm sure that he couldn't have gotten the vehicle safely off of the road. This is just to prove that lemons can occur in any vehicle. I do like supporting my country by purchasing as much USA product as possible, but if I feel more safe and secure for myself and my family in cars that are not strictly a USA product; then that is my choice. Subaru has one of the highest numbers of vehicles on the road that are over twenty years old and high milage. I know a few people in the East coast that have older Subies with between 350,000 and 450,000 miles on them and still are in use every day. Amazing.....Have a good night.

Most or all Subarus sold in the US are assembled in Lafayette, Indiana.

Eh, it doesn't matter. Don't buy one. I know someone who has one and it's junk. :/
