Anyone else annoyed by getting a ton of automotive surveys after buying a BRZ/FRS?

Ugh, I get calls from SiriusXM about every month or two, and I have I interrupt them and say that equipment is no longer even in the car. Several time they have said they would remove me from the system/call list/sales list whatever and still the calls and flyers come.

Every new car will cause about half a dozen surveys to be sent to your mailbox over about a year, and a few years later you'll be inundated with extended warranty notices 1-800 call-now-or-you're-in-extreme-danger-of-paying-for-expensive-repairs-omg-wtf-bbq-must-call-now!

I bet not.

Soooooooo what happened here?
Didn't you test drive the car?

And not to beat a dead horse, but wasn't there an article *sorry, can't find it* where the chief (or one of the lead) engineers himself suggested that if you wanted power that perhaps you should look at a WRX STi?

Not trying to be a jerk, but I find it silly that you're complaining about something that you should have full well knew BEFORE you bought the car, and now you're complaining to them about it. Perhaps you should complain about not liking the color you chose?

So he's suggesting that if I want more power I can't have sharp handling as well, RWD handling characteristics or anything remotely lightweight? Subaru has the tools to give us lightweight, handling, and power and yet they choose not to. Well I'm voicing my opinion that I want them to!

They sent me a dollar and I circular filed their survey. BOOM HEADSHOT!
