WRX STI Owners
Discussion
Looking at a 2014 WRX STI. Been well serviced & in great condition. Previous owner traded it in for the new Final Edition.
I've always been a Subaru fan and well aware of the 2.5 engine woes. Question is, was that mostly exclusive to the older hawk/hatch STI or is it becoming common with the new model? It's a lot of money to drop on a car which may go pop. I'll not be tuning it in any way either so no extra stress will be put on the engine.

Thanks for the replies.
Re tyres; there are 4 new Yokohama Advan Neova something or other. Gripped fine on the test drive.
Ride quality doesn't concern me, last few cars haven't exactly been comfortable and I know what to expect.
My main concern is the engine. All well saying rebuild it but this will be my daily so I need it to get to work. I had a 2.5 WRX before and serviced it twice a year / 4k miles and it served me well, WRX isn't an STI though! Would hope a similar schedule with no tuning should keep it from going bang...
It's a literal (attainable!) dream car so my head is friend. Heart says do it, head is 50/50,
