I’m selling my super clean and extremely well cared for 2004 WRX.  I changed jobs Jan 1st and for the first time in 3 years now have to deal with a traffic-filled commute.  I just bought my first automatic and am selling the WRX… in 12 years I’ve never owned an automatic; hopefully I don’t end up regretting it.

 

2004 Subaru WRX Sedan 5MT

Platinum Silver Metallic

125,xxx miles

2 total owners

 

 

If you’re in the market for a “blobeye” WRX that is fun to drive but also reliable enough to count on day in and day out, then this is it.  This car has never lived up north and hasn’t seen anything more than a light dusting of snow and has never once been exposed to salt of any kind.  I am only the second owner of the car and have had it the past 6 years; I know it forwards and backwards.   When I first got the car, it wasn’t in as good of mechanical shape as I had thought.  It ended up being a blessing in disguise thanks to Subaru and their SAS Gold warranty; the car is in better shape today than it was when I purchased it back in January of 2008.  When I originally purchased it in Atalnta, GA I had thought I was getting transferred to Denver but instead I was relocated to Los Angeles for 1 year and then have been in Dallas the last 5 years.  The car has never seen snow and other than the couple of small dents (2 on hood and 1 on front right fender) is in great shape.  Since I’ve owned it, the car has always been garaged.

 

Back in 2008, the engine seized up on me within a few months of owning the car and Subaru replaced the entire short block and turbo at 71,xxx.  Subaru also replaced the synchros in 3rd and 4th.  At the time, the heads were still in spec so those didn’t get replaced.  I had the heads completely re-machined and rebuilt at 92,xxx.  I also replaced every engine seal as well as all of the head studs.  I haven’t had any mechanical issues since and the car is never tracked, auto-x’d or raced… just a plain old daily driver that gets me around DFW.  They only time the revs ever see > 4K is the occasional highway onramp but that is rare.  After the engine seized at 71k on Mobil1, I started using Castrol Syntec (full synthetic) and change the oil every 3,500-4k.  All the major suspension upgrades were done within the last 5,000 miles. I also have a full maintenance log that details everything that has been done to the car.  The last compression test was on 4/26/13 and was 150psi across all cylinders.

 

For a full rundown of what I consider tasteful and functional mods to the car, please see below:

  • Hardwired Passport 8500

 

 

I have all the stock parts (exhaust, wheels, suspension, and head unit) and am planning to include them, as well as the iPhone and radar detector.  The car is located in Dallas, TX and I have the clean title in hand. 

 

Asking price is $11,500 obo for a super clean, adult owned and well taken care of WRX.

WRX Concept gets walkaround with Subaru design boss Osamu Namba

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

The Subaru WRX Concept was the only concept car to be mentioned among our Editors' Choice favorites for New York Auto Show debuts this year - snagging the No. 3 spot nonetheless - due to what it could mean to the future of Subaru if it indeed becomes a reality. Now that we've caught our breath from walking countless miles through the Javits Center, Subaru has released a brief video of design boss Osamu Namba describing some of the exterior styling elements of the sporty concept sedan.
While this video is just your basic walkaround that gives no mention of the concept's inspiration or what we can expect from the next-generation WRX, it is still fun to watch Namba explain many of the car's design elements including the more aggressive face, the quadruple exhaust outlets and the signature flared wheel arches and side outlet fender vents. If you liked the WRX Concept as much as we did, scroll down to watch this short video.

2016 Subaru BRZ and STI get Hyper Blue for new limited special editions

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Blue fits as well on a fast Subaru as red does on a Ferrari or silver on a Mercedes-Benz. The color just clicks somehow with the Japanese automaker's performance models, and apparently the company knows it. This fall for the 2016 model year, the BRZ and WRX STI are getting new Series HyperBlue limited editions with an exclusive cerulean shade as the major selling point. Pricing is being held until closer to launch. Limited to 500 units, the 2016 Series HyperBlue BRZ is a follow-up to 2015's Series Blue edition. Hyper Blue looks to be a much lighter shade than Subaru's famous WR Blue, but the new color is still fairly attractive. The tone covers the entire exterior but is contrasted with black for the 17-inch wheels, badges, and mirror covers. The exclusive hue is carried inside too for the seat bolsters, headrests, stitching, door trim, and a mix of blue and black leather on the steering wheel. So if you're in, you're all-in. All BRZs get some other tiny tweaks for the new model year, too. A rearview camera is now standard, and Subaru's upgraded 6.2-inch Starlink infotainment system is available. More power is rumored as part of a more thorough refresh for the 2017 update. With production limited to 700 units, a few more Series HyperBlue editions of the 2016 STI are going to be on the street. Although, there aren't as many tweaks for them. Of course, the new color covers the outside, and it's also offset with black on the 18-inch BBS wheels, badges and mirror caps. Blue stitching brings the color into the interior, and Subaru's seven-inch navigation system with a nine-speaker stereo is standard for this version.

As a follow up to the 2015 Series.Blue BRZ, the 2016 Series.HyperBlue cars feature exterior paint in Subaru's exclusive Hyper Blue with matching interior trim. Production will be limited to 700 WRX STI and 500 BRZ cars for the United States. Vehicles will go on sale this Fall.

Consumer Reports sneaks in early review of 2015 Subaru Outback

Wed, 21 May 2014

Subaru is taking a bit of a measured risk with its new generation of Legacy and Outback. While they ride on a slightly larger platform than before, with a revised front-end design, neither of them looks to be a radical departure from models they replace. Instead of focusing on exterior styling, the Japanese brand is trying to make the vehicles better to own with more sound deadening, improved fuel economy and more available tech. Pricing for the 2015 Outback isn't available yet, but with the 2015 Legacy pricing as a guide, it's likely a few hundred dollars more than the current model.
We just had our first stab at the new Legacy, which is slated to go on sale this summer, but Consumer Reports managed to snag an early look at the 2015 Outback in a sort of mini-review to get an idea of how the new model shakes out. Like many, we'd wager, CR isn't completely sold on the new styling, but seems otherwise moderately impressed by the upgrades. The improvements to the interior and infotainment system are especially well received by them. Naturally, though, CR notes that not everything is perfect with the high-riding wagon.
Scroll down to watch CR's preview of the new Outback and see what it thinks of this practical family hauler.
