The new fly by wire throttle is cr*p! Just doesn't seem to have any sensitivity when pulling away gently. My local dealer said this is a common "feature".

Ride is nasty on the original Bridgestones but fitted Prodrive 18" PFF-7's with 235/40/18 Goodyear GSD3 F1's and it has been transformed.

No issues with reliability though and it's a damn sight quicker than my old '03 WRX with PPP.

No probs with mine so far, 3000 miles no squeeks or rattles, very happy. One thing I have noticed is that the exhaust sounds a little louder than when I first picked it up new.

havent had remap-warranty. not sure wot to do,should it be remapped? will it do ant damage if i dont?
how you gettin that much to a tank-you sure your drivin a subaru?
only gettin 200 if im lucky, perhaps a remap would sort that out?

I use Sainsbury's SUL which from week to week ranges from 85.9 to 87.9 per litre

i drive heartedly quite a lot, 250 is a norm, when i was running in always hitting 275 with the petrol warning light on.
