The renesis did not boost well at all(many people considered 330rwhp a success), and there were tons of reliability issues.

To this end: Oil injectors that don't sufficiently cover the critical parts (or overlube, 09+), inconsistent oil metering, apex seal temps, clogging fuel pump, etc.
And these are just stock issues.


Saying we wont know anything about the car until 2 years down the road is probably not accurate. The fa20 isn't a dramatic departure from anything in the past(and appears to simply be a stroked fa16). Besides the factory support, Subaru actually has aftermarket enthusiasts....
