Yeah your right, next time I go to buy a car, I'm going to take and dyno it during the test drive, thereby trashing an unbroken-in motor.
heh, i'd actually make a poor salesman b/c i'm TOO honest.

So I sound like i'm in sales and a crook... it's funny that you put those together b/c we all have impressions that most salesmen lie to us, or at least don't tell us the whole truth. And isn't that the point of "caveat emptor?" Let's face it big companies and salesmen make mistakes and sometimes just plain lie to us. I don't think it's right and I don't support it, but unfortunately, that's how it is, and we, the consumer have to deal with it.

Yes, I believe SOA should have been more straight forward to consumers (especially in CA) about the STi requiring 93 octane, or better yet, they should have engineered the car to only require 91. But they didn't. We can blame them all we want, but in the end, we're the ones who bought it. So the question is this, if you knew everything you knew today, would you have still bought the car? Unfortunately, sometimes being the first to have the latest and greatest comes with it's own problems... Luckily we have a forum like this where we can do our research and decide whether we want to give our money to subaru or not.
