You're looking at my pride and joy, beautifully murdered out, 2008 Subaru WRX STI. People say it all the time, but for me I say this with true sincerity - I really do not want to sell this car. :( Sometimes life doesn't smile on you as much and I've found myself in a much less happier financial situation than when I bought this car. So ...
This car is ffffffast! I'm the second owner. The first owner put more than $10k extra into it to the tune of 82 more horsepower than stock. That's a total of 382 horsepower. Let me pause for a brief anecdote - I'll readily admit that I'm a big fan of Goldrush Alaska. Well, I was looking at the 3rd season recently when the narrator was describing the awesome power of the bulldozers the crew uses. The dozers are employed to do big work like clearing granite boulders from the side of mountains. Take a moment to consider that these dozers are rated at 300 horsepower. Now imagine having almost 30% more total of that power purring right under your foot. Again, I say, this car is ffffffast!
Overall the car is very clean. And despite it being 5 years old it still has hints of "new car" freshness inside. It has been garage kept, and despite all its upgrades to lead you thinking otherwise, it has never ever been raced. It has never been in an accident for that matter either. Thanks to the garage and my driving it very little (I've put less than 20k miles on it in the 3 years I've owned it) it still has a healthy layer of clear coat. As you can see from the pictures it shines right up when clean and looks amazing during evening drives in the city.
A list of the upgrades includes the following - all of which were professionally installed and I have all the receipts to prove it:
1. Turbo kit
2. Upgraded injectors
3. Upgraded fuel pump
4. Mishimoto radiator
5. Turbo blanket
6. Upgraded brakes
7. Upgraded alloy wheels
8. All weather mats
9. Aluminium shifter
10. Boost, exhaust temp, etc. digital multi-gauge
11. Upgraded exhaust kit
12. Computer reprogramming kit
13. Thoroughly upgraded suspension (too much to list, but, again, have the receipts of all the work)
14. Dyno-tuned
15. Yakima roof rack base (crossbars not shown but are included)
16. Bumper scuff guard
17. iPod line-in adapter
18. Tinted glass
Additionally the car has a brand new VA inspection and just got an oil change.
I'm letting this go at less than blue book even though all the extras put it way north of that value. Here's the deal, despite all the good it's not perfect. There are aesthetic blemishes that need to be taken care of before the car is perfect. Though it's your choice, of course, the car is exceptional even with the blemishes. I've included pictures of these for full disclosure. I parked too close when I was rushed one day resulting in the blemish under the front fender. Then the back fender got scuffed while it was parked; the person responsible for it didn't leave a note. I got the work estimated at $1500 but then, like now, I didn't have the financial means. So you buy this car, put it in the body shop for a week, and come out with a perfect car with tons of extras for an incredible deal!

I forgot to include all the pictures. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/89coda4wqktat6v/psG9x49TO6

2015 Subaru WRX STI
Mon, 17 Feb 2014In December, I put the 2015 Subaru WRX through its paces along some incredibly challenging roads in northern California, and to say I walked away impressed wouldn't really do my feelings justice. Say what you will about the way it looks, the new 'Rex is an awesome car, full stop. When it comes to all-weather sports sedans that won't break the bank, it's very tough to beat the WRX.
But then there's its big brother - the STI. The winged wonder. The rally superstar. The car that, to many - and to me - represents all that is right in the world of dirt-and-gravel thrills. Sharp as the WRX has always been, the hardcore STI model has always been a little bit sharper. But in recent years, that hasn't always been a good thing. What I've liked most about the WRX is the fact that it's not an always-on attack missile - it can be forgiving, easy to drive, and if I'm honest, reasonably comfortable. Because of that, in the WRX/STI debate, I've preferred the former for daily driving activities. I've always had a thing for That Wing, but in the outgoing car, the STI was never really far and away a more rewarding car to drive, and it offered exactly zero upgrades in terms of comfort or refinement.
The 2015 WRX is easily the finest example of Subaru's hot hatch sedan to date. But what happens when you try to turn the dial past 11? I headed back to NorCal, including a stop at the historic Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, to find out.
Subaru WRX STI gets all gymkhana slidey in new European ad
Fri, 18 Jul 2014A good partner makes sacrifices for a significant other. They aren't always fun, but sometimes chores have to be done. Subaru's European ad for its new WRX STI clearly understands that dynamic, as it shows what to what lengths a guy is willing to go in order to get his lady some bread in time for breakfast. Of course, running errands in a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive sports sedan down picturesque roads is hardly drudgery.
The wordless ad for the WRX STI says everything you could ever want to know about the winged blue Subaru. It expertly mixes some fantastic gravel rally footage with just a bit of inspiration from Ken Block's Gymkhana videos, as well. The automaker makes the right choice of actually letting the audience hear the growly exhaust and squealing tires over the music, too.
If this was your daily route to the bakery, you'd probably be prepared for a round of the World Rally Championship within a couple of months. Scroll down to watch the Subaru ad about a very polite WRX STI owner making sure breakfast is on the table.
2014 Subaru Forester XT
Tue, 14 May 2013Power Doesn't Come Cheap
When Subaru first offered a turbocharged Forester XT model to US customers for the 2004 model year, the shoe-shaped second-gen model fell into a ready-made competitive set of small, V6-powered crossovers and SUVs. The XT might have been more of a raucous shopping-trip companion than, say, a Ford Escape V6, but the basics of the cars offered a clear differentiation from the naturally aspirated, four-cylinder models found just a bit downmarket. Here in 2013, the V6 breed of crossover in this size class is all but extinct, and turbocharged four-cylinders with the power to compete with the XT are not thick on the ground.
In many ways, the comparative analysis gets most interesting when you start looking around for CUVs to match up with the all-boxes-ticked Forester XT Touring that we had as a tester for a recent week. The top of the line Touring trim means that the Forester comes with features like 10-way power seats, leather, navigation, a Harmon Kardon sound system with HD radio, Bluetooth and more. In fact, our Forester also had the only option package available on the XT Touring; one that included keyless access, HID headlights and Subaru's EyeSight system (adaptive cruise, lane departure warning and pre-collision braking).
