In the end I decided to not sell it and to stop logging it and worrying about. The car engine is still strong and without any issues. If there was any real problem with the new engines, don't you think Subaru wouldn't address it already? Especially, when Subaru's reliability history is much better comparing to Porsches and specifically the Caymans which are placed in the last positions(*).

I can still hear knock in Mode 1 @ 5000 rpm when throttle more than 50%.
