Eventually towed to dealer who ordered parts and repaired, and provided rental at no cost. I love my car. I have owed similar cars throughout my life beginning with an Alfa Spyder at age 20 (in 1962 if you feel that to be relevant). I don't think the car is under powered. I didn't buy it to drag race I bought it to DRIVE. I don't look forward to changing the plugs. In all fairness to Toyota, the word is Subie is not going to improve the FP situation. I went through this with BMW and they FIXED the pump design. Hope this helps someone
Touchy, touchy. We just always have loser trolls who come on here spewing all kinds of garbage, only to leave after a post or two without any evidence or follow-up whatsoever. I am skeptical for a reason.
