Hey everyone!
New to the Subaru world, but certainly not new to cars/modifications.
I really want and all around car, that's quick, roomy, and can be taken pretty much everywhere right out of the box and the STi definitely fit the bill. I've done a lot of research on it, and although I'd like to wait to see if they will eventually throw an FA in, I can't. I really need a new car right now, so I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2016 STi.
Anyway, I've done a lot of research on these cars, but I noticed one thing that is really keeping me from placing an order. I've noticed that several people have had their STi blow their motor with very few miles on them. One had been running a Cobb, but I believe the others were completely stock. I'm a little nervous because I need something that is gonna be reliable and take a good beating. I don't want to have to worry whether my motor (without any modifications) is gonna blow up on me with some spirited driving.
I'm sure eventually I'll build the car after the warranty is up, but that won't be for a long time. I also know that the warranty will cover everything, but I really don't want to have to use it on a brand new car, as it will be a daily that I really need to rely on.
After reading these issues, I've looked around the market for cars within that range, but there isn't much I'd really want other than the Mustang GT (which isn't what I was looking for in a car). My grandfather owned an Evo X, and although it was quick, the interior really felt cheap to me. As dumb as it sounds, after lurking the forums for so long, I really love how family like the Subaru community is.
Sorry for the long post, and if this is in the wrong section, I apologize! Please move it where it needs to be!
