Please stop putting words in my mouth (a popular practice on this board I'm learning). I never said my 03 tranny was bad. I actually said "I don't expect any premature failure" from it since I don't abuse it or have much more than 300 CHP going through it.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out the fact that the transmission is the weakest link in the drivetrain. If I point out Subaru paint chips to no end, am I going to get to hear about that too?

Fact: I personally know 2 people who have had transmission failures. All others, that I've known, are still working fine. Anecdote: You know that other people with WRXs have, in the past, broken their gearboxes. Never did I "put words into your mouth." All I did was point out that your perception of the "weak" WRX gearbox comes from internet
anecdotal posts. We have attempted to counter your expressed, anecdotal views with our own personal knowledge and first-hand experience.
If you say "I heard the paint chips easy" that's anecdotal. When we say "yeah, my paint chipped bad" or "actually, mine's still fine" we're not being anecdotal.
