My gosh you're a paranoid lil guy., it's a handful of cars . The great majority are beat on daily without a single issue or just driven and enjoyed.If you're not able to do that get The GT already. Also slow down when you talk in your review vids
I am confident in the guidance of those like Adam and others who know far more about this platform than I ever will. This is why I still have the car and haven't immediately abandoned ship. I realize this is most likely first year teething problems on just a limited run of early engines. I personally think later 2015 and all 2016 models will be fine and without issues (at least stock). I've been getting people asking me if they should buy a new EcoBoost and I have still be recommending them because it's a fantastically fun car and still the best performance value under 30k in my opinion. You're absolutely right that the 2015 WRXs have had LSPI issues too but at least Subaru addressed it. I just wish Ford would do the same as they have the best records of failure from dealers and can probably pinpoint the problem area much better than any of us can.
So I guess you would consider the GT350 unreliable as well? There are a few threads on this forum about those engines blowing up completely stock, uh oh.....:lol:
Same thing goes for the GT350. New engine, first year early production will be a little iffy. If I had the means to afford a GT350 I'd leave it stock anyway, would still have a warranty and wouldn't worry as much. I can deal with the idea of a motor failing if I'm not stuck with the bill. I've learned my lesson already. I won't do any warranty-voiding mods ever again. The power is fun but the huge financial risk is not fun for me.
