Will test driving vehicles tell one how reliable they are? ...

Test driven ...

One will know best w/ longterm ownership.[emoji4]

If properly maintained, there would be no issues. The WRX and XT uses the same engine and tranny with differences in tuning only.

If the car is regularly used, the previous owner may have changed the CVT fluid, front suspension bushings, brake pads, and tires. Unless of course, the car was sparingly used (garage queen). Check the tires for the manufacture date. You need to change tires if they are more than 5 years old already.

CVTF change interval is every 40k km actual mileage. I bet the owner has not changed CVT fluid or brake pads.
