You drove for 34k with a missfire and now you have severe engine damage, and that's why you won't buy another Subaru? Non of the Subaru dealer's in my area had heard of these issues in my area. My missfire ended up being a faulty injector, which I imagine if you drive long enough is going to do damage.

05 LGT wagon, missfire cyl one, did plugs, swapped coils, cleared code. Came back. swapped cyl 1 & 3 injector, cleared code. cyl 3 missfire, replaced injector (from kitchener subaru, $200 later, not bad considering the class of car) no codes. <=== happy camper.
