Man, we had a Subaru outback for a while. Still miss the space, but the interior flooded every time it rained.
Turns out, the roof doesn’t actually have a place to shed water externally - it drains through the car before going out the bottom. Apparently part of regular maintenance involves cleaning out that channel… and where we live has enough tree debris that it always clogged up early, and backed up into the passenger compartment.
Now, I don’t know a lot about car design… but draining the roof through the body of the car, in such a way that you have to have a service tech see to it to keep it weatherproof? Makes me wonder what else might be waiting to go wrong.
Uhhh… Subaru?

What model year was that? Never heard of such a thing. I suspect you had a defective car.
I don’t know anything about them.
