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.

Subaru funds Center For Pet Safety crash testing for dogs [w/video]

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Crash-testing new vehicles to evaluate their ability to keep humans safe in accidents is nothing new, but thus far there has been little in the way of crash testing for dogs. Subaru, a company that portrays itself as pet friendly, hopes to raise awareness on the issue of pet safety by funding initial crash testing by the nonprofit Center for Pet Safety, Automotive News reports.
Real dogs were not used in the crash tests; three dummy dogs representing a 25-pound terrier, a 45-pound border collie and a 75-pound golden retriever were used. There are a variety of devices for sale that are supposed to restrain dogs from entering the front-seat area and distracting the driver - tethers, cages, nets and crates - but their effectiveness in a crash is unknown.
In Subaru's crash test, performed at a Virginia laboratory that tests child seats on a device that speeds down a track and stops abruptly, the results show that devices such as dog tethers are prone to break in a crash, sending the dog rocketing into whatever is in front of it. Rather alarmingly, the organization reports a 100-percent failure rate. In other words, "None of the harnesses were deemed safe enough to protect both the dog and the humans in the event of an accident." Yikes.

Why a production Mazda Koeru won't be a Subaru Outback clone

Wed, Dec 9 2015

No automaker has had a hit quite like the Outback Many have entered, few have won. The Subaru Outback is one of those automotive bogeys that competitors seek to imitate but never quite capture. Mazda is poised to change that, its CEO tells Automotive News, with a production version of the Koeru concept. We're torn on whether this attempt will be the one to do it, whether the proposed model is truly aimed at the Outback, or whether it's just another pale imitation destined for failure. While the ingredients are pretty basic – wagon-like shape, extra cladding, a smidge more ground clearance than a regular car – no automaker has had a hit quite like the Outback. Reasons include packaging issues, poor brand fit, and Subaru's seemingly unstoppable momentum in building all-wheel-drive archetypes. That hasn't stopped a bunch of companies from trying. And now for a list: Ford attempted with the Freestyle/Taurus X; note that that model no longer exists, having been replaced de facto by the Flex and the newly crossover-ified Explorer. Audi discontinued the A4 Avant and slapped the Allroad badge and some fender flares on to capture the affluent outdoorsy crowd, initially selling well but now down 40 percent since last year. The humpback Honda (Accord) Crosstour and Toyota Venza could also be considered Outback-apers, as both short-lived models took sedan bodies and added a hatch and optional all-wheel drive. Dodge got into this space a few years back with the Journey Crossroad trim level, but fake brush guards and black wheels do not an Outback make. Volvo has perhaps come closest with the XC70, a not-quite-crossover that it nevertheless brands like its other crossovers. It helps that the Volvo die-hard and the repeat Subaru buyer aren't too different. Most of these models no longer exist, and the ones that do haven't sold as well as Subaru's Outback so far this year. Even if you're generous and add all 96,718 Journey sales (and not just those for the Crossroad, which FCA doesn't break out separately) to V70/XC70, Venza, and Crosstour, it still doesn't equal the 136,227 Outbacks Subaru pushed through November of 2015. And, as Automotive News points out, Mazda hasn't sold that many crossovers so far this year (the number is 129,932 thanks to huge CX-5 numbers). So why is Mazda considering going after the hallowed Outback? First off, we're not sure that it is because there's the question of what tiny niche this vehicle would occupy. "It's a totally new car.

Subaru parent company celebrates 60th birthday

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

Fuji Heavy Industries, parent company of Subaru, celebrated its 60th anniversary on June 15. And while the company is largely known in the automotive world for its innovative all-wheel-drive cars, its history stretches far back before the days of symmetrical all-wheel drive, World Rally Blue and gold wheels.
FHI was founded, much like Germany's BMW, as an aircraft company. It went through a series of names before settling on its current title in 1953. And while its aerial successes were never quite as famous as Mitsubishi and its Zero, FHI did fly Japan's first jet-powered trainer. The same year, 1958 to be exact, it unveiled the iconic Subaru 360 minicar. While the 360 never quite caught on in the US (at least not with the fervor of the similarly laid-out Volkswagen Beetle), the small, affordable and simple Subie had a wide-ranging appeal across the island of Japan.
The rear-drive, rear-engined 360 was eventually joined by the 1000, Subaru's first front-engine, front-wheel-drive car. More importantly, the 1000 ushered in Subaru's use of a horizontally opposed engine. The Subaru Leone, which arrived in 1971, expanded on the 1000, by offering a combination we're all familiar with nowadays - all-wheel drive with a flat-four engine.
