USE & MAINTENANCE HISTORY
This is a 2010 WRX Limited Sedan with 37711 miles on it. It's driving style and pickup are easily comparable to a 335i, except you can do even more in the winter!
I am selling it at such a competitive price because my twin brother has the same car and we're moving to California together, so no need for the extra vehicle.

I always replaced oil on time or before scheduled service time (duh, who wouldn't) and used "super" octane fuel every time for cleaner burning.
It is currently running on synthetic oil just to make things a little easier (visiting Subaru so often is not my cup of tea and plus, synthetic is better!). 
This vehicle was purchased from Subaru in August 2010 and has been owned by an MIT Engineer who really loves his Subaru's reliability and flexibility. You can be sure your car was NOT used as a toy, but instead as a means to make cool trips and memorable adventures in New England.

DAMAGE REPORT --> IN GREAT SHAPE
Accidents: NONE! Even the spare tire is still unused.

Exterior: It has no damage beyond minor scuffs and scratches due to normal wear and tear. That is, both bumpers are a little scuffed, and atop of the car you might notice 4 small scuffs from the roofrack (nothing a wax and buff couldn't clear up). The hood is completely clean. All 4 rims are very clean and one has an unnoticeable scratch along the outside (probably from a curb). Some of the photos may have light in them which may look like a serious dent, however, there are no serious dents and it is merely the curvature of the car. On the passenger side rear door, you'll see a small scratch above the handle. I would be happy to send an interested buyer more descriptive pictures, but you really need to get close to see these minor details.

Interior: There are no rips/tears in the leather seats. The interior has minor scratches on some doors, but all due to normal wear and tear, nothing noticeable. Other than that, the trim work is very, very scratch free and new looking.

UNMODIFIED & DRIVES LIKE NEW
Some Features: I tried my best to include all of the features of this car, but clearly if you're looking here, you're interested in a WRX that is running well w/ all of the amenities.
There are NO DRIVE-TRAIN OR SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. This car currently drives like a new WRX. I just (500 miles ago) had the steering belt and all struts / springs replaced under warranty.
The manual transmission still runs perfectly, and does not slip or make noise.

UNDER WARRANTY!
This car IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY with 32K MILES / 3 YEARS remaining, as it was purchased in August of 2010. I believe you can even extend that warranty another 30K (Subaru offers a "Platinum" warranty now that was not offered when purchasing the vehicle).


Upgrades/Work and ~$3000 EXTRAS:
  • Installed an optima yellowtop battery once this battery went down the drain. Optimas are some of the best batteries out there, so I thought I'd mention it.
  • Brakes were replaced 12K miles ago by Subaru
  • Installed an Alpine WXA-407 navigation unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ogLzrX9XQif you want to check it out. It really improved the sound quality of the stock speakers. It is compatible with Alpine's rear view reverse camera and comes with a Streetwire Zeronoise 3.5mm (headphone) jack for use with phones / ipods, laptops, etc.
  • Dynamatted interior (fully, under carpet, on roof, in doors, trunk, etc) so that the car doesn't shake and vibrate. It also lessens the amount of road noise and greatly improves speaker sound quality.
  • Premium quality UV protective dark tinted windows on all glass EXCEPT the driver's window and the windshield, as this is dangerous and probably illegal!
  • I'm selling this car with new OEM summer tires as well as the 4X Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25RFT Winter Tires(which have only been used for 1 winter for 3K miles). 
  • Comes with a high quality Thule ski / snowboard rack for fun trips.
Cool Features of the Limited Version
  • HID Headlights that move --> focus out yonder and towards the vehicle at the push of a button. Great for foggy and low visibility situations.
  • Heated, comfy leather seats
  • The extended armrest for a more comfortable experience when driving a manual vehicle
  • All weather floor mats / trunk mat
  • Fog lights
DON'T BUY A MODIFIED CAR. IT WON'T BE UNDER WARRANTY!! SUBARU STOCK ENGINES ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE FORCES FROM THESE AFTERMARKET PARTS AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SPENDING MORE TIME REPAIRING THE CAR THAN ENJOYING IT.

2014 Subaru Forester XT

Tue, 14 May 2013

Power 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).

Consumer Reports says Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevy are big winners in brand perception survey

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

According to Consumer Reports, the automotive brands that stand out in the minds of car buyers are, in order: Toyota, Ford, Honda and Chevrolet. This news comes after the magazine polled its readers, asking them to take into account vehicle quality, safety, performance, value, fuel economy, design/style, and technology/innovation - which are the factors that car shoppers are most influenced by.
It's important to note that this award is only about perception. In other words, it's perceived quality, not actual quality. "Often, perception can be a trailing indicator, reflecting years of good or bad performance in a category, and it can also be influenced by headlines in the media," said Jeff Bartlett, Consumer Reports deputy automotive editor.
The brand that made the biggest jump in perception amongst Consumer Reports readers is Tesla, which posted an impressive 47-point gain to finish in fifth place. Subaru is also notable for finishing in the top 10, despite being one of the smaller manufacturers doing business in the US. Scroll down below for all the details from Consumer Reports, if you're so inclined.

2015 Subaru Outback

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

"We like producing cars that are different." That's the company line trumpeted by several Subaru executives during the launch of the 2015 Outback - one of Fuji Heavy's most successful vehicles to date. Managing Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski accurately noted that while Subaru has never really found salvation with its mainstream sedans, it's the higher-riding, butcher offerings like the Outback and the Impreza-based XV Crosstrek that have been sales stars for the Japanese company. In 2013, for example, Subaru sold nearly three Outbacks for every Legacy it moved. And in 2014, the XV is on pace to outsell the Impreza upon which its based.
But Subarus have always been different, catering to unique customers that desire something a bit more special than your run-of-the-mill sedan or crossover. It's clearly worked, with Subaru having posted 30 months of year-over-year sales increases as of this writing. And even as the automaker's portfolio goes more mainstream, smoothing out its serially awkward styling and gunning for a larger market share here in the United States, that intrinsic Subaru differentiation is still baked in to each and every product.
It's that new Outback we're here to talk about today, a vehicle that's been comprehensively redesigned for the 2015 model year while not shaking up the formula that's made it successful since its inception in the mid-1990s, back when it (arguably) launched what we now know as the crossover utility vehicle segment. It's still plenty different - and plenty good, too.
