The record of the Rotax Engine is good but...... It does have problems.
Several owners known to me have had to spend some significant money on early
replacement of Starter related mechanisms and in one case a lengthy wait for
the diagnosis. It also has some design weaknesses but if checked and looked
after operates well.
The Subaru Engine is basically very sound too. Yes it's a little on the
heavy side for a Europa, has had operational weaknesses around cooling and
ignition but shouldn't be dismissed out of hand as an alternative.
I'm happy to have eventually decided on Rotax but am open minded enough to
allow others to make choices against the run of play including Subaru,
Honda, Jabiru ands who knows what.
My late night 10 pence worth.
