Transmission/suspension noise (improved under warranty)
Faulty LF window switch (replaced with warranty)
Hard flat leather seats improved, but shaped badly.
Reliable, fast, excellent steering, excellent in wet, quality fittings.
I liked the sports shift option of auto or manual with sequential style shifting. This suits my wife and myself and is a good compromise.
Dash rattles {never fixed) and poor flat, hard leather seats with poor lateral support spoilt this car. My previous WRX did not have these problems.
Regretfully this car has to go and with no WRX auto option I will give Golf GTI or Golf R32 a try with their 6 speed DSG (Direct Shift auto box) and excellent seats.
You need to learn how to drive a stick, my 3-series was my first stick and hooked me for life. I never want another slushbox again, I think you will feal the same!!
Wow, can't believe you are unhappy. Totally happy with my MY03 WRX auto. To the last reviewer, I agree manual cars are addictive in their way, but they can get really dreary too, particularly in traffic. Subaru should introduce DSG --and some decent styling -- on their WRXs.
