All cars NEED maintained. I'm not really defensive as you are so jaded by everthing you end up getting rid of, your honda, your Subaru, can't wait for you to get rid of that TA and really start thrashing those.
By maintained I mean, changing oil, diff fluid, brakes, Spark plugs, filters, belts, hoses, clutch. What car with 100K miles doesn't need that stuff done? I'd love to see a list.
Bottom line is you seem miserable on here and have nothing really to add to anyones threads except what is bad and everything is bad. Can't remember reading a post that you posted that had something positive to say about a car other than maybe wow that is fast. if I owned only 1 car of a maker and I bought it used and busted and had to have a "Built WRX tranny" installed right at purchase (ie Tranny that wasn't made for the car), I wouldn't be vouching for the manufacturer as I would think I haven't owned a new one and maintained it, and haven't owned enough to see a pattern of issues first hand to give an opinion.
I think you need some help because you are very EMO on here, I don't know if you want people here to feel sorry for you or what, but you can't be anymore negative on here than you have been the last few years. Not making fun, just an observation.
