Well, I know with Subaru, their own BRZ brochure kinda screws them out of denying warranty for aggressive driving.

Here is the excerpt from the very first paragraph you see in the sales brochure....

"Life moves fast. Don’t slow it down with a car you can’t trust. At Subaru, we build each of our vehicles with the highest standards of manufacturing, and with designs that are inherently tough and resilient. It’s why our vehicles excel in the most rigorous of motorsports, like rally racing. And why 96% of all the vehicles we’ve built in the last 12 years are still on the road today. It’s also why Subaru owners are so likely to stay Subaru owners for years and years. What’s more, keeping cars on the road means they stay out of landfills longer. And if we can help make the world a cleaner and greener place while making cars that inspire and motivate their drivers, we’ve done our job."

Sorry Subaru, you can't sell someone a machine that you market as reliable high performance, and then deny warranty when the customer uses said performance.
