Havent heard any of them going pop yet?? Subaru wouldnt put the same engine knowing the problems they have had, and put a problem engine in the new car would they??
Do like the look of these new STi's though

Well Subaru have denied there being an issue, yet we have a thread at the top of the main forum documenting numerous failures. We can make our own conclusions on that matter, as we are allowed to.
I have been led to believe that the 2015 saloon has exactly the same engine, even down to the same part numbers.
They appear to have sorted the problem since the 2011 hatch and saloon came in. I would suggest it's down to new mapping. The new car does appear to have more of a low down urgency compared to the previous model.

Hello
I read this with interest, as I have just ordered a 15 WRX STi!
the dealer is happy to remap it to 350 hp and of course I want this!
Will there be a problem to the 3-year warranty? At the end of the day the official Subaru Dealer mentioned it!!!
Thanks

I see. thanks for pointing this out.
I should clarify this, as they never suggested it's out of warranty.
It would be a brand new 2015 straight away remapped ( that even Subaru can not trace!!!
how can this be...) Defo need to drive both versions, see if I need the remap...

My Mate came around this morning with his Black STI, ideal chance to get the grey and black side by side

I know there are dealers who are offering this service if you buy the car from them, But I must state this is not endorsed by Subaru and it is of there own doing, They are supplying there own warranty & not that of the manufacturers.

I've said it elsewhere but this is a stunning car, and the colour I'd have it in too.
I have been thinking of one for a daily since they came out but I'm just doing too many miles on the motorway to justify it at the moment

Cheers mate, I'm very pleased with the car so far and looks immense & goes well too. average 30mpg cruising to work around 80mph so its not doing to bad straight out of the box, 1000 mile oil change due tomorrow, I'm still old skool when it comes to this.

Not a chance, Subaru japan have a list of CVN & CID numbers and CAN & ARE TRACABLE. Everytime a car is mapped these numbers change and cannot be stopped.
