i guess there are always lemons or cars that just have problems all the time,but i still love a suby. When i had my wrx i only had little minor things give me problems which were taken care of with supplemental mods or tuning, my buddy travis's 04 sti and his 05 wrx never had a single problem and ran great, especially the sti. And my friend Rob(Twelvz) has been beating the living crap out of his 02 bugeye everyday for 5 years now, car runs mid 12 second quarters and slaps people around on the street everyday, he broke one tranny like 4 years ago and thats it. no motor problems at all, i believe he made 303whp on his race gas tune and 270 something on his street map tune, of course some upgrades were made,but he did everything right and hasnt had any problems. The car handles superbly and is really fun to drive, i for one say hell yea for subaru.
