I'm wondering about the lifespan of the average Subaru (mileage-wise). I always hear and friends have experienced Hondas and Toyotas running up to 200,000 or more. What could I expect from a Subaru?

Subaru use boxer engine. Pistons go side way which means they rub unevenly over a long period of time. They will never last as long as the toyota or honda inline engines.
Turbos shortens the life even more.
Non turbo engine EJ25 = 140k miles
Turbo engine EJ25 = 120k miles
at this point you only got about 65% of the power left.

My first Subaru was at 190,000 miles when I sold it . . . and it was still running well. I sold it to get a new Subaru, which is now at 50,000 and has not had a problem.
My aunt has a Subaru she had over 200,000 miles on.
My experience would suggest that Subaru's are extremely reliable. That being said, there are a lot of variables that go into it - how hard the driver is on the car, maintenance, etc.

200,000 easy as long as you take care of the car. Keep the maintenance up to date and Subaru should last a long time.

the life span of a car is governed by how you look after it, simple as that.

200k miles is a safe bet if everything is maintained well
