My 2005 Subaru Outback has been flawless since purchase. It is a first-year vehicle (total redesign). I know several others with the same car and all of us have had zero problems. One has over 40k on it.
A good buddy bought the first year WRX (2002) with no problems on that either except a faulty seatbelt recall. (Over 70k on it now).
I think it's more luck of the draw than anything. The fact that it's at a Honda dealership doesn't say much, they probably got so sick of it that they traded it in for something known for reliability.
If it looks good, take it to an independent mechanic and have it looked over for peace of mind before you make the purchase.
Best of luck!
