My WRX, clean and freshly waxed.
Loaded up with tires and tools for autocross tomorrow. If anyone here is at Mosport tomorrow (and/or Sunday, if I feel like it), feel free to bug me for a ride-along.

I think I’m getting a WRX next. What trim level do you have?

Just the base model, though in Canada that includes seat heaters and heater elements under the wipers, which are nice but may not be included as standard in the states. I like it.

So they tell me but I remain skeptical.

Looking good.
I love seeing cars being looked after.

Autoglym aqua wax. Need a new bottle actually as I finished it today.

Thanks.
You wouldn’t enjoy what it looks like 99% of the time though, haha.
I drive gravel roads every day. The mud flaps are kind of a necessity, but unfortunately do nothing to keep the dust that gets kicked up off the back of the car or out of the wheels.

I’m thinking of buying the Limited because the Performance takes away the sunroof. Seems like it would fit the bill. What would you change about the WRX?

It’s a very realistic dream car and well worth the time/savings spent. Keep at it and you’ll be able to get one for yourself.

Wish it was hatchback but other than that, very little. I’d probably like the ride/handling balance to move a bit toward comfort, but not much, don’t want to ruin the fun. I’d like a better designed interior but it’s a WRX and that’s not what I’m paying for at that price, and I guess my Golf spoiled me a bit for a cheap car interior.
Actually, the (base) sound system is shit (again, spoiled by the VW). I’d change that.

Haha I think I’ve addressed 3 of those in my plans. I’m buying a 2018(has better ride) and I’ve already figured I was going to buy my own speakers to upgrade it and then add sound dealing while I was in there.

The optional Kicker system and sub is pretty good - worth the money if anybody is ordering one.

After much fiddling with the equalizer (it lets you set levels for 7 or 8 frequency ranges) I do finally have it where I don’t hate listening to it anymore. I do still long for better sound but I’ll live with it.
I’m thinking of going full retard on the suspension and putting Ohlins coilovers on it. They apparently ride very well while keeping/improving handling and giving me ride height and camber adjustability. Though I wouldn’t lower it much, this car needs to remain usable in a good snowstorm.

ITs either $2k to get the Harmon Kardon (that’s packaged with the eyesight) or $500 for a good set of speakers and some sound deadening material.

Yeah I’m hoping to be able to when I finish college in a couple years, get a decent job and have built some savings.

How’s reliability been? I just paid off my Outback am now putting aside that money into a WRX fund. But my other car - a ‘14 Forester has already had a warranty short block so I’m a little nervous about sticking with Subaru.

Flawless but then again it had better be with only 12k miles. Will have wait and see longer term.
