Default Subaru BRZ

Anyone seen the Japspeed braces for sale in the Traders section? If not, have a look. I draw your attention to the serious lack of underside corrosion protection on the car they've got in the photos. Classic Impreza all over again! Surely Subaru/Toyota would have learned by now.

Hopefully so! Having seen the photos, if I owned one I'd be getting it sealed/painted some way or other. Pretty poor effort from the manufacturers.

Subaru rotting underneath? Surely not? Next you will be telling me the paint is thin and the MPG is poor lol.

I bet the corrosion guarantee only applies if you go back and pay for all the scheduled checks and re treatments from new.

If I brought a new one I would be tempted to get it treated properly. But then again I bet that invalidates the Manufacturers guarantee.

You're spot on with the corrosion warranty I bet. There'll be all sorts of ways for them to get out of it.
