Re : The sti is a nice drive, but..., part III (a happy ending)
Date: Jul 11 2003 07:23:50
In a nutshell, current wisdom holds that fixing my 1st gear wrx
grinding will probably all be covered under the 5yr/60K warranty - the
guess is that it's the 1st gear synchro...the transaxle's covered
under the 5yr/60K. Caveats: normal wearable portions, such as the
clutch, if involved, are not covered. The Subaru dealership in
Jackson treated me much better than another, unnamed, dealership - and
the Jackson dealership indeed experienced the grinding while test
driving my wrx (without my assistance I might add).
Subaru took care of me, and indeed I followed through and bought the
sti also (with all the same options I have on my wrx). Yes, my
decision to buy the sti was to a great extent politically motivated -
Subaru stuck by my first-year wrx, and I stuck by their first-year sti
(I did need a second car). I'm sure the sti will put a big smile on
my face, but honestly I'll not get rid of my wagon anytime soon (and
the sti does come with summer slicks folks, not off-road or winter
tires).
Of course: Note that if you're experiencing the 1st gear grinding too,
and a dealership also experiences it with your car, you indeed also
are probably covered under the 5yr/60K warranty.
