I personally don't car about cricket, windows, rattles, taillights, etc. But I have never seen a modern Toyota with so many posts about catastrophic engine failure.


And thy aren't going after that one, so its up to us and tuners to fix the crap factory tune that kills engines.
I paid for my car and I couldn't give a shit what this article says. Most people who buy this car are the enthusiast type who have usually done the research and already know what they're getting into.

Multiple posts about head gaskets, ring land issues and catastrophic engine failure didn't seem to do much to the resale of my STi.
