Perhaps you could look at an interim low cost solution until a refresh or 2014 becomes available.
Not sure of your situation would allow you to put something like that on hold while you drive something that would get you through a season or so. Then sell it off when you're ready. |

I have a 2012 WRX and love it. I chose it over the FRS. I miss the FR layout but the WRX delivers so much in its own ways. Now a days, there are even less reasons to get the STI over the WRX. To the wheels, there's only a 20hp difference and the wrx weighs about 100lbs less than the sti.
The only issue I had was the intercooler to throttle body hose come loose, which is a common issue due to the crap design of the coupler. It happened driving from AZ to OK and I had no tools to fix it and was in the middle of nowhere. Kept going for the last 400 miles and had no issue. Fixed it when I got home. Other than that, the car has been awesome and it is well worth the money it costs. Such small changes can make such a huge difference. EDIT: we just had snow here during Christmas and it was funny to see lifted trucks and SUVs limping down the road while I cruised by them without any issues whatsoever.

It's a bummer you got a car filled with problems. There are only a few, but they are out there.

To be honest, I never really liked the idea of Toyota techs fixing what's essentially a Subaru, but that's not in my hands I guess.. |

I know your going to think i'm nuts, but lately there is a craze for Acura NSX's, why not pick one up? Timeless car, or you could get a low mileage latest gen RX-7 or RX-8 which is the cloest IMO to the FRS besides the MX-5.
Sorry about your lemon, hopefully you enjoy your next car a lot better. |

Sorry to hear about your issues. I'm sure it would drive me crazy, esp paying mid to upper 20's for a brand new car.
Don't mean to piss off the Subaru fan bois but the fact that it's being built in a Subaru factory is one of my reasons why I'm waiting.
