I, particularly, am turned off when someone uses extreme negative language and is so agitated that comments may tend to be exaggerated. My comment does not specifically address any particular poster in this thread or any other thread but is intended to be an explanation of the use of forums.

I posted Subaru's rebuttal in my thread. They simply blamed me for abuse and modification despite zero evidence of either and over 10 years of driving exclusively MT cars. Other people got better treatment by Subaru or Toyota, dependant entirely on the dealer. That left me with a pretty bad taste in my mouth, especially since I own two Subarus and expected a little loyalty.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the car, I've had much better luck with the 2nd tranny. I will, in all likelihood, be lemoning the car. But I fully intend on buying another. It's an awesome care with amazing potential, but they laid quite a few eggs in the first year, much like many manufacturers do. It happens. What ticks me off is people maligning CR despite having no understanding of how they do auto reviews, and people minimizing problems with the car, which does nothing to pressure manufacturers to fix obvious flaws.
And I'm sorry for being combative, I deal with people at work all day who are the same way. Sometimes it's hard to shut off.
