2015 STI warranty
 

This kind of says how confident subaru are in the 2.5 still.

We've been looking into one for our lettings director. Currently we supply him with a Leon Cupra R and the 3 year lease is up in January. He fancies a stab at a scoob but would want the pro R upgrade but it invalidates the warranty!! If it's installed it's apparently down to the dealer to supply a years warranty. This is the official statement..........

WRX STI is covered by the standard 3 Year / 60,000 mile (whichever is sooner) Manufacturer’s Warranty (bumper to bumper, excluding clutch driven plate).

"The fitting of performance upgrade kits or parts, whether purchased direct from an official Subaru franchise dealer or an aftermarket provider constitutes a modification to the vehicle and therefore invalidates the vehicles warranty. This is clearly explained in the Service & Warranties Booklet found in the glove box of your vehicle. The seller of your modified vehicle is required to provide you with a separate warranty, which he would source from a third party provider. If the car you have bought has not been subjected to a performance upgrade, your official warranty remains intact."


I'm sure the old PPP didn't affect the warranty???

PPP was warranty friendly, as were the 320R and 340R for the 2011 onwards WRX STi (i.e. the sedan). I assume the same was true of the hatch equivalent.

This marks a departure from that, which is a real own goal in my opinion!

Couldn't agree more, having the original warranty intact was the main reason Subaru sold so many of the PPP's!

Agreed, and I would think that most people wanting an STI will want the upgrade to take it into the 300's and away from the likes of the Golf R, Megane 280 etc.

Subaru #Fail, they seem to have completely lost touch with the market they are aiming to be in! Lets be clear the power figures for the new STi are not that earth shattering anyway when compared to its rivals especially when you consider they dont have the issues Ford have with a front wheel drive torque steering monster.
