I purchased the car in December of 2010 from Huffines Subaru in Texas. Has been very well cared for. Synthetic oil every 5k miles. Synthetic diff oil in front and rear differentials. New brake pads and front rotors. AC system just evacuated and charged. The only non-factory items it has are:

1. An aux input to the original radio.

2. Fuel filter moved from the tank to the engine bay for easier access (exactly like the 2004 models had it)

Good:

The car has good tires with plenty of tread left. Less than a year old.

New brakes and front rotors

New original type windshield (orig had a small chip turn into a huge crack overnight...have all receipts)

AC just serviced

All original

Synthetic fluids

Never modded or raced.

Interior is just nearly perfect. Seriously.

Original spare and tools

Most of my receipts including all the documentation from my purchase and many parts and services I performed over the last 4 years.

Pulls great

No smoke

Bad:

The original wheels have seen better days. They are pretty scuffed up and a couple even have bends. They hold a tire and I like originality so I kept them on it but they really need work or replaced.

Hail and scrape damage to the car. (If you want more detailed pictures of the damage, just notify me and I'll try to get some extreme closeups at an angle...it's just really hard to see on a white car but the damage is less noticeable in the pics than it is in person.

If Ebay allows it, here is a link to close-up video of the car and how it looks:

The oil spots on the concrete under the WRX are NOT from this car. They are from the old Riviera that was parked in that spot a few minutes earlier. The WRX does not leak.

Pictures speak for themselves. ***

***Apparently the pictures really do not speak for themselves:

EDIT: After viewing the pictures on Ebay, the hail damage is not as visible as it should be. Look at the close-up of the car roof. That will give you a better idea. The primary affected areas are the hood and roof and a little on the trunk lid, although every panel took at least a couple hits. The car still looks great from 15 feet away, but up close you can see it. It never bothered me because the car runs and drives great and the interior is so good, but if you like extremely straight body work, you'll have to put in a little time or money. That's why the car is priced almost 3k below blue book.

Subaru Viziv is a diesel hybrid crossover we could learn to love

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

With the 2013 XV Crosstrek, Subaru reaffirmed its interest in niche crossovers, and early signs are that it's selling well, so will parent Fuji Heavy Industries green-light another one? That's the question begged by the new Viziv concept just unveiled here at the Geneva Motor Show.
Of course, this is a pure showcar, and the four-seat crossover coupe's drivetrain is suitably next-generation as well. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain system features a 2.0-liter diesel boxer engine mated to a CVT, and a pair of electric motors drive the rear wheels for a through-the-road all-wheel-drive system. By going with motor-driven rear axles, Subaru says it has been able to provide larger rear-seat footwell and lower load floor. More excitingly, Subaru says its control systems allow for side-to-side torque vectoring for improved handling, and the system actually apportions more power to the rear wheels when the Viziv takes a corner.
In typical concept car fashion, the Viziv features flashy butterfly doors that provide access to both the front and rear seats, along with oversized 20-inch wheels and cutting-edge lighting. We like the Viziv's overall design direction - it looks more organic and all-of-a-piece than we're used to seeing from the Japanese automaker.

Subaru readies BRZ RA Racing for Japanese trackdays

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

As if we needed any more reasons to take a Subaru BRZ to the track, Subaru has just announced that it will be producing a racing-spec version of the car straight from the assembly line. The only problem is that the BRZ RA Racing is being offered for the Japanese domestic market only, and won't be visiting any road courses in the US any time soon.
To get the BRZ ready for some serious track time, Subaru added brake ducts beneath the front fascia, removable tow hooks and an oil cooler behind the grille. Inside, the car gets a factory six-point roll cage (including custom-fit floor mats) and a four-point race harness for the driver. Now we get to pricing where US enthusiasts will get even more miffed. The entire suite of racing add-ons increases the BRZ's price by 31,500 yen, which converts to less than $350 US; the total price of the car converts to right around $31,500 US.
There is a brief press release posted below, which has been translated (somewhat poorly) by Google.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
