I'm very sad to see this car go, but I am putting my WR Blue 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan up for sale.  This model has a 5-speed manual transmission and 190,802 miles, and includes the factory turbo boost gauge.  I originally acquired this car in February 2006 from Subaru of Dallas and it had 70,000 miles.  The car has been well maintained, and I have only used Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and changed it on a regular basis. It has a brand new MAF sensor, new Stoptech front brake pads, freshly turned front rotors, brand new Optima Red Top battery (one of the best batteries you can get).  I drained the rear diff and replaced it with Redline fluid at around 120,000 miles. The car has been modified, and comes with a catless Invidia bellmouth downpipe, custom 3" mid-piping, Magnaflow exhaust muffler, and Cobb AccessPort ECU flash using the Stage 2 93 octane base map.  I won't lie, this car is fairly loud, but it's not too bad and personally I find it makes driving the car even more fun.  I've driven the car hard, and it's seen more than a few autocross events, but I have taken very good care of it and it drives like a dream.  While I was a broke college student, the car stayed on the Economy AccessPort map for about 18 months and was driven like an old lady going to church, so it's not all hard miles.  The AC is still cold and works well. There is some paint oxidation on the roof, the hoodscoop, and the rear driver door, as well as some minor damage to the rear driver quarter panel and door.  It comes with the factory auto-dimming compass mirror, but the auto-dimming fluid inside the mirror has leaked and it no longer dims automatically, but with the window tint it is not really necessary, also the compass in it still works.  The front map visor clip just broke, but that part can be replaced for less than $2.  The tires have less than half their tread life left and aren't that new.  The car also is pre-wired for a subwoofer, and has a JVC KD-SH99 head unit along with aftermarket Pioneer speakers.  The sound quality is great in the car as I ram-matted (similar to Dynamat) and foamed all four doors, the trunk lid, and both front floor board and kick panels.  It did add some weight to the car but eliminates road noise, enhances the quality of music in the cabin, and also helps reduce the drone from the exhaust.  It's been my baby and I'm going to miss it, but I've got a 2012 STi now and cannot justify keeping both any longer, so this one is going to go.  Vehicle sold as-is.

Local buyers preferred, but I am willing to ship the vehicle as long as the buyer takes care of all the necessary arrangements and shipping costs.  I have a clear title in hand and will endorse it over as soon as payment has cleared.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?

Thu, 26 Jun 2014

The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.

2015 Subaru Outback

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Realistically, many enthusiasts give horrible, horrible car buying advice. They will recommend something bizarre, inappropriately high performance, compromised or utterly impractical for a given consumer's needs, and they'll almost never recommend something that makes sense. And then they'll come up with 3.7 million reasons why the leading vehicle someone is thinking about is a bad choice.
Or maybe that's just what I do.
Regardless, if you poke, prod, bother or just get us drunk enough, eventually you'll begin getting honest feedback. And more than likely, we'll tell you, in hushed tones, about the many virtues of very, very boring cars. We'll talk about why the Toyota Camry is actually a pretty decent purchase or we'll explain how spacious and feature laden the Nissan Versa is.
