Who knows if the 2009 Subaru WRX has faulty engine builds and is prone to engine failure? I've been looking at getting a 2009 Subaru WRX wagon due to its performance and winter capabilities. However, thus far over 50 people on the NASIOC site have reported engine failures; Subaru has consequently been replacing the entire turbo engine. Recent posts suggest the faulty engines are from earlier build dates of 8/08 to 9/08. Can anyone confirm this? Subaru has denied knowing anything of this sort.
What car should I get 350z or subaru wrx sti? I am 16 years old and my dad bought a 2004 350z. I really had no influence on this buy. I was looking at 2005 subaru wrx sti. I dont know which to get because I like the 350z but it only has 2 seats while the wrx has 5. Please tell me which one you would choose, and the + and - of each car.

Where can I find a Subaru WRX Engine for cheap? I have a 2002 Subaru WRX and I need to replace the Engine. Does anyone know where I can find one (used is okay) in good condition with not too many miles on it in the Chicagoland area or online? okay yeah I know ebay and craigslist, i'm talkin about other places that aren't so obvious. Oh! And some guy I work with was telling me about some website that I guess imports used engines from japan because they discard them or something like that after a certain amount of miles due to some law...does anyone know what he's talking about lol
Did Subaru make a 2002 WRX STI? If so do you have any good links to check out? Im thinking about purchasing a 2002 Subaru WRX and going to a junkyard to pick up some parts from a STI.

Why are there still new Mitsubishi EVO 9s out there vs Subaru WRX STI? I am in central FL, and I notice that dealers still have several NEW 06 Mitsubishi EVO 9s. It's much harder finding a new 2007 Subaru WRX STI, since they get sold quicker. I am a prospective buyer and would like to have some input on this. Why is this? Does the EVO have other 'achilles heels' other than the dreaded premature clutch wear? Is the STI the better car for the street and occasional track? The EVO is praised in all magazines and people as 'the car to have', yet the Subaru STI is the 'hard car to find'. Can anyone shed light on the subject? Thanks.

Why don't they offer the Subaru WRX STI Coupe with the highest end engine? I was looking at getting a Subaru WRX STI, but I don't like the hatchback. The only way I can get the highest horsepower is with the hatch... Are they going to offer the highest end engine in the coupe any time soon? The hatch to me just looks like a sporty Ford Focus or Taurus station wagon. I don't have anything against hatches, I currently have a 2009 Volkswagen GTI. Thanks for the help!

Evo 8 vs Civic si vs Subaru WRX STI which ones is the best? Okay to make things easier on the question an Evo 8, A new Civic si, and a Subaru Impreza WRX STI '05, the prices range for the Evo 8 (stock) and the Subaru (stock) are from 23K - 25k and the Civic Si 07 (stock) is around 21k - 22k. My questions are: Which one would you buy and why. Which one is easier to fit with aftermarket parts. Which one, in your opinion, would win a race if they were pinned against each other. Last question is between the Evo 8 and the Subaru, which one would you choose? (Neglect Price) Lol my bad. Ok if the Civic, Evo, and the WRX were fully tuned.
