A clearer definition of abuse would certainly help find the middle ground I spoke of previously but we are back to what people would accept and how many would try to go beyond that definition.
Hell, this very forum has a thread on it where the OP wanted to know if it was OK to "money shift" and felt that if he did it and the car blew up then it was a design flaw.

100% agree on the abuse of warranty, I worked for an insurance company and the more detailed the wordings the more loopholes open sadly!
From my experience in insurance when you have a word like "abuse" its so vague that it makes it easier to just label any action because abuse is such a subjective term, one could say simply riding the clutch once a month is abuse and another could say that its okay to launch the car by dropping the clutch lol
At the end of the day like you said in a previous comment its all about what dealer you get, sometimes you can get a shit dealer when it comes to tracking and sometimes you get one that supports you, its a complete crapshoot and I don't think you can blame the manufacture. I will never buy a Subaru not because I hate subarus in general or anything that Subaru Canada ever did to me but because the dealers in my area are generally shit
