That is another variable. Kind of messed up, because it would suck for owners, but I wish there would be a bigger sample of reported failures, along with details like track, production date, maintenance details.



I have my reservations on the whole Toyota/Subaru possibly denying repairs because of track use or outright social media stalking. It is, after all, a track use promoted vehicle. At the same time, the Army and my recruiter promoted all these lies to me about being Army strong and all this money, etc,etc, but I ended up with a fckd up back and still with student loan debt. So there's that.
