My experience may be more traumatic than most (re: Z32), but I've found working on our WRX to be downright pleasant. Of course, all I've had to do is scheduled/routine maintenance. Oh, we've got almost 90k miles on ours now too. The only item that had to be replaced sooner than I would've expected was the battery.
On our outback, I changed out the filters and fluids. Nothing else. When we sold it, it had 104K. Even the battery was stock. This also included a 7700 mile roundtrip to Mexico. I DD a legacy wagon and it's been great with reliability too.
