Scion Warranty +1yr vs Subaru..

Just noticed Scion is 6yr/60k Powertrain and Subaru is 5yr/60k mi , interesting 1yr diff, just thought I would share if it hasn't been posted. For those who don't drive much, the extra year will be nice!!!

and you get 2yr/25k complimentary maintenance. plus a $1000 College or Military Rebate if you Finance or Lease through Scion.

and Scion will have better availability...

Plus worse insurance rates and derision from people that don't know anything about cars other than "Volvo = reliable, Honda = fuel efficient, Scion = crap"

They're common perceptions held by laymen. I'm telling you which way the wind is blowing, not my opinion.

I think the masses would agree that Volvo's are sturdy and Honda's are good on gas.

Beware of the subaru trolls, but dont forget to watch out for the scion posters trying to turn a 60 month warrantee into 6 years. If cost is a huge choosing factor, insurance could be a big issue.
