I know she's newer and most likely not going to see issues for a while, but is there anything to look out for on a 2008 WRX? We got one heck of a sweet deal on this little gem, and aside from the routine maintenance and items covered by the killer warranty, should we worry about something unseen but common to the '08 WRX's?

not really just make sure some punk kid didnt own it.. Subaru 5 speeds under forced induction arent the greatest.. Make sure all the synchros work on the tranny first off.

 

Lots of kiddies try to bang shift these cars at 6k rpms and the synchros wear out fast..

 

other than that, compression test it, make sure the rings arent smoked and pop off the inlet on the turbo and make sure theres no oil coating the turbine on the turbo..

 

other than that, have fun
