anyone else experience this..?
Greetings Scoobynuts 
Have just picked up a new WRX and it seems to have the same "problem" if that's the right word for it, as my last one...
Decellerating from 70 to 60mph, there is a slight whining noise from the engine (I think.) I mentioned it to my local Subaru dealer when I had my last one and they said they could find nothing untowards but lo and behold, it's happening again in the new one
Plus, the old one emitted a mahoosive whining noise at 100mph +, didn't sound like the engine, more like air/wind noise. On Friday I had a chance to open up the new car and it did exactly the same, albeit at 130mph +
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers from Paul

window rubbers mate,
Mine used to do it at 90+, but now they have bedding in a bit and no longer hum.
It's a common thing with pillarless doors.
Sorry
It's a common thing with Subaru pillarless doors!!

deceleration noise - is it like a 'moaning' noise - if so see www.sidc.co.uk FAQ as I experienced that and got the answer there.
