I feel you on the warranty, just saying, I bet we see a lot of these going very fast.
Well, I hope you are right. That will make a world of difference.


For others who asked about the fueling: It's tuned for PREMIUM.

So, another gripe of mine (fair or not), is that I'm a bit irritated that with DI, 12.5:1 CR AND fvcking 91 AKI they couldn't do better than 200 ps/195 hp.

I feel like Toyota said, "Oooh let's make a NEARLY perfect car... then stop juuuust short. Let's also use a platform that seems highly tunable, but really, given the newness of the technology involved, it won't be. Ha!"

Again, offering a higher priced turbo variant with more power (even if not at a level to compete with Z's or Mustangs et al) should have been fairly easy... but they didn't.

And those of you hoping for a turboed Sti variant -- don't. The Sti may have a bit more power (via a slightly tweaked tune), perhaps a moderately better suspension set-up, and a nicer interior, but there has been ZERO indication it will have a substantially different set up as compared to the regular Subaru and Toyota car.
