Subaru has come along way with the STI. I'm using it as a daily even, its very safe easy to drive and looks great inside and out. Cabin has come a long way, I found it nicer than Benz CLA models. Fuel economy could be better (10L/100km) but not complaining based on performance.

What an expensive exercise and how incredibly disappointed we are with Subaru WRX.
Car never driven hard, always garaged, very low Milage, missed one service and told us it had no oil...which was not true as was first thing we checked and no warning lights, but of course they say what they want. I will stir very far away from this company.

After one of the first services it developed a center diff fault, after multiple dealer visits Subaru said I needed new tyres to make it go away - at 18,000kms! Another dealer cleared the fault and no problems since.

Front suspension noise and handling issue is another matter. 9 visits for warranty repair, half the front end replaced under warranty and problem still the same. Subaru Australia have now said the noise is normal and will not provide any further assistance. Independent reports say otherwise so case now with consumer affairs.
