This is the one you've been waiting for!!!!

 

One adult owner, ultra low mileage Florida car in Obsidian black with original gold BBS wheels.

(This is a completely unmolested car with an Autocheck score of 95, it just doesn't get any better then this!!)

 

I purchased this car brand new from Mastro Subaru in Tampa FL. At the time I was 34 years old, and drove this car every day for the first two years of ownership. Now I'm well into my 40's with three kids, and only drive the car once or twice a month. My automotive priorities have changed and it's time for this wonderful car to go to someone who will appreciate this car as I did back in 2006.

 

This car is in truly exceptional condition. Absolutely everything works as it should on this car. No issues, no dissapointments. All it's paint is original, the interior is completely stock, there isn't a single door ding on it. It's never spent a night outside, never seen snow, ice or salt. What else can I say? If you've been holding out for the right STI to come along, this is your chance... One day I'm going to regret selling this car as they're going to become a serious collectors piece very soon. This one is so good it belongs in Subaru of Americas own collection up in Cherry Hill, NJ. I have a reserve on it because I'm not willing to take the risk of a no reserve listing on this car, it's just too nice. The reserve is reasonable though and in line with other recent STI sales on eBay.

 

During my ownership, the car has only had Mobil 1 oil changes, I've only ever used Shell 93 Octane in it, and has only required a few service/maintenance items. I replaced the tires in 2012 with brand new and slightly wider (245/40/17) Yokohama S.Drives, Also in 2012 I replaced the front brake pads with StopTech pads and also replaced the battery with a brand new genuine Subaru battery. The wiper blades were replaced around the same time as well. To show you how detailed I am regarding this car, I kept all the original parts removed (battery, brake pads, wiper blades, etc..) so if the new owner wants them they're welcome to them. It has only two very minor modifications, an SPT intake and a Prodrive muffler, which I did a couple of months after buying it. I still have and will include the original airbox/intake. Unfortunately, I sold the original muffler some years ago... It also has a very nice window tint all around that I had done right after I bought the car. As the car doesn't spent much time outside, the tint is still as new.

 

Take a look at the all the pictures, it really is that clean in person, it drives exactly as it did back in 2006 when I drove it off the lot in 2006. The interior still has the new car smell, it's never been eaten, drank or smoked in... Yes, I'm one of those people who makes others take their shoes off when getting in my car. This car has never even had a drink in it's cup holders!!! This has to be the closest thing to a new 2006 STI out there, unless someone bought one and immediately tucked it away in a warehouse somewhere. The pictures show a ScanGauge 2 velcroed to the top of the steering column. I use this to show MAP, intake air temp, ignition timing and speed confirmation. The new owner can keep it or I'll remove it if desired.

 

The car has a clean/clear Florida title and comes with all the original paperwork, owners manual and sets of keys. Local buyers are very welcome to view the car in person. I require a non-refundable $250 deposit upon purchase commitment. Please make sure you have the funds available before bidding!!! I will be happy to meet any buyer flying in to drive it home at SRQ airport. I will also be happy to help load it on a car transport if shipping is required. If shipping is required it is the buyers responsibility to arrange and pay for shipping. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. I will be happy to email the shown pictures as well as other current pictures of the car to anyone who asks and provides a valid email address.

 

Best of luck and don't forget that reserve auctions need to be bid on early and often to drive the bid up to the reserve price.

Waiting until the end of the listing to bid doesn't work for reserve auctions.

Subaru says Forester logs 8,000 JDM orders in first month, 4x expectations

Fri, 21 Dec 2012

The 2014 Subaru Forester is not on sale yet here in the US, but it has been on sale in Japan since the middle of last month. In that time, Subaru says that the 8,149 customer orders it has received have more than quadrupled the original expectation of just 2,000 units.
To go along with these impressive orders so far, Subaru has also provided a breakdown of exactly what initial customers are ordering, and based on the numbers provided, it would appear that early customers are choosing well-equipped models. This includes almost 90 percent of all models being ordered with the new Subaru EyeSight system, and while close to two-thirds of the Forester models are equipped with the base 2.0-liter engine, the turbocharged Forester 2.0XT is the most popular individual trim level accounting for almost 40 percent of the orders out of four available trim levels. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues as more Foresters hit dealers, but this is definitely a good sign for the compact crossover right out of the gate.
There's a brief press release after the jump that gives a full breakdown of customer orders so far in Japan.

Upcoming Subaru WRX STI rumored to get hybrid drivetrain

Tue, Dec 8 2015

Subaru might electrify the next-gen WRX STI. According to a rumor from Motoring in Australia citing an unnamed Subie insider, the brand's engineers reportedly have two hybrid systems under development for the future model. The move would allow the STI to boost power output and improve fuel economy and lower emissions to keep up with US regulations. According to Motoring's speculation, the next STI might use an electric motor at the back to power the rear axle and an upgraded version of the FA20 turbocharged 2.0-liter at the front. A new dual-clutch six-speed gearbox would help the power get to the road, and the total system could allegedly offer around 322 horsepower versus 305 hp from the current US model. This rumor also claims the next-gen STI would continue as a sedan when it arrives in 2017. Like previous iterations, the four-door will share underpinnings with the Impreza, which will mean a move to Subaru's new modular platform. The standard hybrid might only be the beginning of electrification for the future STI. Motoring's source also claims the company has a plug-in hybrid variant under development, but it might not debut until the 2018 Tokyo Motor Show. A hybrid STI could be exciting, but until there are solid facts, this rumor joins a long history of powertrain speculation about the high-performance Subaru. In 2008 and 2010, reports emerged about a diesel version, but it never appeared. We once even heard that the current-gen WRX might boast an electric turbo.
