Default New WRX STi

Hi,
Got my new one recently and the battery keeps going flat, even after only a few days!
Is this 'normal'.
Thanks

No, that's not right Dan. Get the supplying dealer to do a battery test for you

Supplying dealer is responsible for a full deep charge on pdi, and they should have a copy of the printout logged with the pdi sheet off the mandatory midtronics tester

Shock!
The tracker hasn't been set up, no stamps in service book - PDI?

What size battery should it have - the one looks very small and small amp hours?!?

Head gasket.

Perhaps you shouldn't read the threads about recent models' failing........

Personally, I'd not have a new model given.....I want reliability with decent dealer and importer backup...all those are sadly now missing from Subaru.
