I’m not saying you have to treat it like its made of glass. but there are a ton of people who are nearly doubling the factory hp on these cars, rev it up to 5 grand and dump the clutch and are astonished to find their transmission scattered all over the road.
i’ve had mine a little over 3 years now. it see’s well over 30,000 miles each year i’ve owned it and its far from babied and i’ve never once had a problem.
you may be right… but my roommate has an STI, and with my accessport and exhaust i’m still faster than him… and i’m paying 250 less a month. so for me and my budget, i’ll just have to stick with the regular old WRX for now.
