We're not looking for a loophole, we're disappointed that Toyota and Subaru aren't standing behind their product.
If they advertise it as being on track I expect it to be a non-issue when a
MANUFACTURER DEFECT needs to be repaired, instead it's the experience of many that their Toyota representatives squirm and bullshit through their teeth to not stand behind their product or do any work to support the car, sometimes regardless of whether or not it actually gets used at performance driving events.
If they wrote in the warranty agreement that "misuse and abuse" included high performance driving, track use, autox, etc. we wouldn't be having this discussion... and a lot fewer people would have bothered to buy this car. Instead they built in their own loophole and spent millions of dollars plastering videos and images where they can, sponsoring drivers in competitive events, telling consumers they built this thing to be driven hard.
I know you love playing devil's advocate, but let's be reasonable here, there's been enough stories over the years, would you recommend to a friend who wanted to track/autox/drive at 10/10ths a car with a warranty to buy a new 86 or BRZ?
I pulled up the MX-5 warranty agreement, there's no provision against competitive or timed events like there is for the 86, only "racing" and "loading" with a picture of a checkered flag.
