noisy gear change
It was very difficult to change gear, and noisy in certain cases.
I took it to Subaru in Dubai, and they changed the whole gearbox under warranty. However, almost exactly the same problem reappeared about 100,000 km later (now out of warranty), and I have also had two problems with the clutch (again, one under warranty and one not). I will list these problems separately.
Given the repeated problems, I am not convinced that Subaru's solution is the answer. I think there is something else wrong here but there is no desire to investigate, or even pass the problems on.
Though it wouldn't have made any difference with this incident, had I bought a Toyota 86 instead (almost exactly the same car - minor trim differences), Toyota's unlimited mileage warranty would have saved me a great deal of money. It also took Subaru a very long time to receive the part(s) they needed. Other companies provide courtesy cars.
Please note: I am not certain of the mileage and date listed in this entry. They are approximate.
