Time will tell.. I would expect a long useful service life out of this car, but I would also expect the need to replace things more often with this type of car.

Regardless, the failure experienced by the BRZ is a result of an oversight in the factory tune, not the driving habits. I'm sure Subaru would have cited a mechanical overrev or point to a heavily worn clutch if abuse/misuse were the case, not just give a vague "no".
