I was given a Dull chocolate brown, 15year old JUSTY and smelt of sheep sh1te 
I think they were having a laugh
I went to my nearest dealer (in Wales) to do a 30k service on my old MY99 I drove the Justy 100yds and took it back, picked up my car and went to find a decent dealer found one in Worcester more expensive and further away but MUCH better 
The Welsh dealer missed out on my99 6 services,Aircon fitting, 2 set tyres, 1 clutch, PPP and brakes allround, buying STi7, PPP,PHP, Clutch and 4 services ,so far. plus a few warranty jobs
quite an expensive laugh
and I have mention it to all I meet and I've met so scooby peeps in the 3years

Morning all,
just taking my STI in for it's 1000 miler (it's been a long time in coming!), just wondering what car they will give me ?
Is it useless Cr*p or do you get anything with some GO ?

Phoned up to book the service and said I needed a lift back to work (about 3 miles), no problem at all sir bla, bla bla. Turned up with car and they weren't at all happy to leave me back, even told me they wouldn't do it again, not in so mant words. Then thanked me for bringing the car and said they would like to see me again!

You tend to find that the majority of dealers dont actually use Subaru's as c/cars as too expensive to "run" as such, so they will find cheaper alternatives, its like when your car goes in for an accident repair, same scenario, same cheapo runaround motor. try turning it round, could you afford to put ALL your daily customers in STi's? AND pay the servicing costs to run them?
Now you see why dealers dont do it.

Oh well,
I've been given a "52" Corsa, and wanted to charge me eight quid to use their insurance!!
Never mind, I'll get mine back soon enough, complete with Prodrive Spring Kit

My dealer has DaiSHATsu's in the other half of the showroom, so yep - piece of crap little box to drive home. Feels dangerous over 30mph. I wasn't very impressed as I have to do 80mile round commute and they had my car for 3days - my back was giving me some jip after the crappy seats. On the plus side it halved my fuel bill even tho i was revving it a little

I had a 1.6 classic Impreza wagon (well I hope it was a 1.6!).
Was so slow it was frightening. Wildlife overtook me on the way to work. Was funny, as I was going down the lanes between the garage and work, I tried to get some more umpf out of it, by dropping down a few cogs... Got noisier, didn't accelerate at all.
Still, on the plus side, made my Turbo feel quick again when I got it back... probably because I was 500 pounds lighter after the service. D'oh!
