My 1996 Subaru Legacy 5-speed never gave me a single problem other than it used about a quart of oil every 2,000 miles, but it had 220,000 miles on the odometer.
The original owner did burn the clutch out, but that's the owner's fault, as I drove it HARD for half the miles and my clutch didn't burn out. We're talking rally type driving on logging roads, jumps, and jaunts through the forest and up grades so steep that a running start in 1st bogged the motor down until it stalled.
I probably did a set of plugs and wires at some point, and a set of brake pads.
Oh, I suppose I did get a P0420 catalytic threshold error, but we don't DEQ, so I just ignored it.
My parents 1996 Camry went 240k miles without issue, though it did go through a few timing belts.
I'd say most Japanese cars in that time period that had timing chains were very reliable.
