Funsub · 03-02-2006, 04:24 AM

knock on wood!!!
11,000 and still going strong.

skeeler · 03-02-2006, 05:09 AM

74,000 miles, and going on 3k road trip over next three weeks. Five strut replacements and over-sensitive cruise sensor. ABS light used to stay on for a while--speed sensor replaced under warranty. Airbag light used to stay on--bad wiring harness under seat.

Strut clunk (which has been resolved by lubing)... and my autodimming mirror went out.

Other than that, running strong and no engine issues whatsoever.

Very happy with this car so far.

KiR DieseL · 03-02-2006, 05:18 AM

Damn what is with this strut clunk issue

Did they resolve it on the 2006 STi's?

jim · 03-02-2006, 05:41 AM

30k miles on mine, no problems other than a bad rear strut mount. The dealer thought it might be related to when I installed my pink springs, but they replaced it under warranty anyway.

It definitely has more rattles than my Integra Type R did, but I nothing I can't live with.

9K miles and two new england winters -- No big issues other than excesive cabin noise at 130+ mph....

Max-Q · 03-02-2006, 06:24 AM

13k and no issues at all. I have never even noticed any rattles and I've never heard any clunks. I used to have a Corvette which rattle and squeaked all the time. It would crash over small bumps so hard the interior would crack around the screw holes.

I got rid of that car because I couldn't stand to listen to it anymore.

Metalfreak79 · 03-02-2006, 06:31 AM

10K and problem-free. Put 80k on my 02 2.5RS before with no problems either.

Subaru's are great.

allwheelsdriven · 03-02-2006, 06:37 AM

well at this point in my corresponding mitsu experience i had put in a new engine....

WRX8STI · 03-02-2006, 06:38 AM

22k miles here, and no problems. However, I fully expected and demanded that out of this car.

I can't wait to see a thread like this in 4-5 years. See if we have people saying (150k miles, no problems, just basic maintantence). One can dream I suppose. Jury is still out on this car long term reliability/durability wise, but so far so good.

MaSTi04 · 03-02-2006, 08:30 AM

97k- only strut clunk and hood latch broken, other than that......just tires and brakes etc.

skghori · 03-02-2006, 08:46 AM

15.5K in 2y8m of ownership. Not a single warranty issue. Car has been to the dealership only for oil changes every 3 months and for 3,750, 7,500, 11,250 and 15,000 miles servicing. It also went once for swapping trunks with a WRX.
I hope I do not jinx it now!!!
Regards
Saif.
