MY06 2.5 WRX engine harshness
Bit dissapointed with the first and second gear engine noise - its really harsh - a sort of GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, heavy vibration through the clutch pedal and gear stick you can hear it too. Dealer says no fault found but its not very pleasant. Third gear is an ok turbo whine and fourth is very smooth. Any one else experience this?

This probably doesn't help, but.....
Only done 300 miles in mine..haven't noticed this..in fact I'm surprised at how smooth it is in all gears....it's actually quieter and more refined than the celica that it replaced.
Is there anyone near you with the same car that you can drive and compare the two ?? I am in nottingham if it helps.
Cheers.....

Thanks I will - also get them to lend me a demo so i can compare. I said to them that I didnt remember the demo car being as rough.
Interestingly it sounds alright for the first minute or so from cold then it sets in.

Sounds like I may be having a similar problem. When the cars warmed up I'm getting a GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, sound between 2-3000 revs but apart from that nothing. Not getting any vibration though, mentioned it at the 1000 mile service and they adjusted the exhaust heat shields as thought that may be it. It's still there so am going to get it back to dealer for them to have another look.
I'd be interested to know how you get on.

There should be no harshness, the power delivery is more like a BMW 330 than a jap rice box. I'd definately have a drive in another MY06 for comparison and then don't let the dealer fob you off. Since fitting the PPP to mine the power delivery is even smoother

I opened the bonnet on mine and listened while reving to about 4000rpm with no load. It sounded pretty rough like the top end or a timing chain rattle (presume it has a belt not chain?? but you know what I mean)
Will leave it a couple of weeks to see if it settles (optimist!) then take it back. It is spoiling my enjoyment and the loan car was very different.
thanks again both

Seriously in first and second, (ie very light loads) as the engine spools up quickly under acceleration it sounds and feels (through the stick/clutch pedal) just like a diesel.

They do seem to make curious noises from time to time, my 04 either rattles, GGGRRRRSSSS, hisses, growns, clanks, bangs, wiiiizzzzeeeessss or pops (sometimes all at once)... strange cars!?!?!
