When I bought my car the salesman said that I could run regular if I had to but that performance would suffer.

In an emergency situation, sure, but I wouldn't do it. The car is already knock prone, and running 87 over a prolonged period of time would be a bad idea with the high CR.

Maybe note on my entry (#6) that @~1100miles is when CEL and rough idle occurred while in the middle of a track day. Cleared it, finished the track day and have not had any issues since (currently ~2,300 additional miles later).

Waited since launch, finally found a new silver stick 100 miles away TODAY with 15 miles on it. Got it at the $25k price with a good interest rate.
Halfway home: CEL, just casually puttering around in traffic. vin 17074xx. Runs fine to me, doubt I take it in to the dealer until they have the "fix" down to a science. Been an engineer in the auto industry for 25 years. Until the root cause is definate and the local dealerships/mechanics have the procedure down pat it is too much risk leaving it at the dealership for a science experiement. I'd rather blow up the engine under warranty than have a Scion mechanic take apart this subaru engine without a clear process. End up with a problem that doesn't show up until after warranty. Hopefully there will be a simple recall for an ECU flash. The thought of a Scion mechanic working on a boxer cam scares the living sh*t out of me. Now I truly understand why folks prefer the BRZ, simply the mechanics at the dealership have wrenched on boxer engines for years. Maybe if we are lucky Scion will turn the warranty work over to Subaru dealerships. |

The car seems to run fine. It did have mild RPM fluctuations occasionally at idle with the AC on, but nothing to the point where the car would shake violently as others have had. My CEL actually went off by itself a couple days ago and is still off, although I'm certain it will come back. I've driven and owned lots of other sports cars, all with two or three times the power of the FR-S, but I have just as much fun (probably more) with the FR-S as the others. I can't imagine how upset I'd be if it happened the day I got the car. Hang in there. |

This is getting ridiculous, I understand that buying a new generation car is prone to problems.
Is it unreasonable to demand some sort of compensation for the inconvenience for taking work off and taking it in? I mean this is a brand new car that we paid MSRP for. I was thinking free extended warranty or some sort. How are you guys handling this with your dealership/Subaru Corporate? |
