mate its still pointless as you have to take into account mileage and age.
if a 2.5 fails at 120k and a another at 30k what does this tell us???


the engine is crap as i had to rebuild it at 120k?? id say that was acceptable

My 97 wagon has done 177,000 miles on original engine.

My wifes identical 97 car lunched two engines by 135,000 miles.

So which one do I click?

salsa-king

my 2.5l @ 23600 miles fine so far

wagon dec

i have a 01 bugeye wagon 182,000 miles on its original engine tracked 3-5 times a year and a trip to the ring every other year and still puttin out 262.3bhp happy days

angryscooby

I also have a 01 bugeye wagon as a daily. 122.000 miles on the clock and still going strong. It is driven hard every day because of the snow and ice just can't resist sliding every corner

angryscooby

Why so tough engine? Conclusion, because Subaru!

Tidgy

my classic uk just got sold with 93k on the clock, engine runs fine. new car's engine let go, 2.5 haweye wrx.

40% failure rate on the 2.5 is pretty **** poor

chopperman

Where did you get 40% from?? Rare for a WRX 2.5 (ej255) to let go too.

angryscooby

Maybe he combined all 2,5 owners who have voted total of 25

so 9 of them have failed it equals 36%. This number is not reliable at all because we would need thousands of votes before we could believe these numbers.

chopperman

Sounds like a random number pulled out of thin air then posted as fact to me I believe IM claimed 7% of Hatches failed during the warranty period. Still un-exceptable and even more un-exceptable was the way IM treated their costumers with accusations and lack of support. It was just a pity subaru didn't really address the issue as from a manufacturing point of view it was an easy fix. Trouble is the Japanese are arrogant and do not readily admit fault.
