I am the last person to try and cover up abuse and have it covered under warranty.
with the experience my buddy had, he had 800 miles on the car and was still breaking it in when the axle popped.
He is on vacation away from the computer right now, when he gets back he can post his observations when dealing with this.

the 08 sti isnt the only one that has had axles breaking. have seen plenty of early sti's with broken axles.

i love this stuff. i here it all the time. im not sayin that anyone is at fault here but, do you guys really think that axle just popped apart because it was driven nicely. at some point in its life it got hammered on. maybe it was when it got unloaded at the dealer. maybe on a test drive. i get sick of hearing people ***** about subaru not wanting to warranty there car for stuff like this. you know they think it is abuse because at some point it was abused. and about 75% of these people are not telling the whole truth. why does a person buy an sti------ because it hauls ***. you know you are going to drive it hard..
and yes it will break!
man up . so if you are trying to stiff subaru dont get on here and ***** that they are giving you a hard time. not pointing fingers. just saying.
for those who do lie.
