The car is a turd no matter how much you wring it out, so I drive like a grandpa. On the track, I drive ultra smooth, shift smoothly, etc. Not that any of that should matter (see first sentence).
It's easy to try and justify issues and just say "It's a Subaru!" or "you track it, you should expect it!", and "its a cheap car, that's how it works!". Nobody wants to accept the fact that the car is just not built well, and there are a TON of cars at the same price with much better build quality. The car is built like crap, and not great quality...and I recognize that. If there is something I can do to make it a little better to live with, that's all I'm looking for. You guys can try and justify the problems however you want to make yourselves sleep better at night. 
And also, again, all the fluids are being changed. Regularly.
Thanks though! |
First gen, early run 2013 car has first gen, early run issues. Doesn't matter if a Chev or a Cadillac and it is great to say the shouldn't but this is the real world. This does not reflect the quality of the car as a whole. The solutions of many of the issues listed are on here or just follow the great advice that has been given here. My 14 has only the crickets and even then just if using ethanol gas and at 60,000 miles I have never once experienced any of the rest of your list.
Asking for help and then being snarky to those that respond with comments you don't agree with tells me that even if perfect you will always find fault anyway.
Good luck with you repairs.
