I think you ought to discuss more about how the vehicle performs, and the type of on boost off boost mileage you can produce. I think you ought to spend $5,000 on different oils and see which one performs the best. What do you have, a 17 year old test driver? Most adults such as myself do not want a $5,000.00 stereo system in the car. You wasted cargo space with the subwoofers, and actually paid money to have someone install what are very basic components in your car. Not very clever for a magazine that is trying to give people real world experience. Most of the guys and gals on this website, work on their own cars because we take pride in doing so. From the navigation, to the boom in the trunk you wasted a lot of money just to write a whole lot of nothing. "We drove all over such as blah blah blah blah." But the transmission broke. Why didn't you tell us more about how the roads, local laws, and other motorists effected you and your driving? You completely omitted anything anybody looking to purchase the car would have wanted to hear. But you certainly didn't neglect to mention the fact that the transmission has an issue which was more than likely related to the fact that your driver can't rev match a down shift to save their own life, and doesn't have a clue what double clutching even is. I'd be willing to bet the driver side steps the clutch, which will result in your next article being about how Subaru warrantied your prematurely worn clutch. Proper driving technique isn't something you are born with it's a skill which one must hone over time. |

A. They have not modified the car at all. B. They have serviced according to the book. So tell me, if I beat the car to **** left and right, but service as required, why would my warranty be void? Key point here, there were no modifications done to the car. Cited abuse? what abuse? I should be able to beat any car that I want as long as I maintain it... -Wes |

If you ask me after reading this and thousand of other topics about subaru transmissions i would say that subaru is no good at all with their trannys. You would think after the bugeyes haveing all their tranny problems with second gear blowing alot(from what has happened to me and what i have spent many hours reading about) that subaru would make it a point in their new cars to fix that problem but seems like they didnt cause 2008 STIs are having problems with hmm what was it oh second gear. I love subaru to death dont get me wrong but i think they need to focus on different things

Great to have Car and Driver on Nasioc. Your magazine has been my favorite for 25 years. Keep up the good work. I love it cover to cover. Want to hire an airline pilot who is addicted to cars?

this thread is dumb, not because of the topic, but because of the moronic responses.

All this crying about who's right or wrong on tranny and shifting...wow.
I BEAT the crap out of my old 02. My engine blew up at about 60k miles (boosted it to hell and beat on it ALL the time) and my tranny lasted more than 80k miles just fine (then sold it) because I knew how to SHIFT PROPERLY. Drag, auto-x, rally-x, and abuse on the street and it lasted. I even burnt up a bit of clutch here and there on my 4-5k releases and eventually upgraded/replaced that. So anyone who thinks they can go from a FWD/RWD car while redline dropping and slamming gears to the Subaru and do the same thing needs to be beat. Learn your CAR. That being said, maybe there IS an issue in the tranny's. LOL /sarcasm/ |

The overabundance of idiots in this thread is quite disheartening. I suppose it will happen when nobody has ever heard of a car until they come out with a hot model, then all of a sudden failboats worth of retards start buying them. It appears that a few of them have learned how to type.

Class dismissed!
I've lost intelligence reading the idiotic replies in this thread (vast majority). Not to mention this car doesn't deserve any attention. |

i honestly sold my 06 sti because of a massive paycut. I do not like the new sti at all. I have seriously thinking about going to the dark side and getting an evo X in 2009.
i hope they go back to the coupe before i make up my mind |

Absolutely; please don't tell me that everyone should rev match when they shift... that's what synchronizers are for. If I was turned down for warranty repair becuase of "abuse" that dealership would be going straight to small claims court. Subaru advertises the top speed, acceleration, etc. If it can't be driven that way without breaking, then they should not falsely advertise it's capabilities.
