Up for auction is my baby. It's a 2006 WRX with the STi 6Speed manual trans with no rust.
It has 70,xxx original miles

I have owned the car for over two years (but only had the title transferred into my name after completing the 6speed swap). I bought it with a bad 5speed manual trans. It took me a little over a year to save up and then do the 6speed swap (trans, drive shaft, axles, brembo brakes, rear diff, clutch, rotors, rims, tires, hubs etc.) only this spring have I been able to drive it and really enjoy it. I could probably count on two hands how many times I've driven it and I never pushed it too hard. During the time of doing the swap I put a few decals on it (they can be removed) to try make it look like a track/rally car. I have never taken it to the track or rallied it. The switch board in the dash where the radio goes is not wired up (just put in to cover up the hole).  
This was going to be my track/fun car but plans have changed. I have a one year old son now and I can't afford a car just sitting in my garage. I have a lease on another car (my daily driver) that will be running out soon and I'm going to need something more practical for a family (the reason I'm selling my Subi) 
The car is sitting in a heated/cooled warehouse on a trickle charge to prevent the battery from going bad and to keep it out of the rain/snow. I have never driven it in the snow with all the salt. The under body is super clean with no rust. This car is my baby and has been looked after.
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me either by text or email. I work full time and can't call most of the time
I have many more pics and videos I can send you

Cons:
DCCD is there but not wired up I have all the controls just missing the wiring.  
It does have a couple small dents (from other car doors, nothing major) from the previous owner. 
Due to the power its putting out there some rear diff slap (you can google it) the rear diff needs harder/stronger bushings to solve this, just never had the time or the money to do it. 
Occasionally I have an code pop up (P0607) if you google it you will see 2 things it could be. For me its a bad ground somewhere because Hi beam and reverse lights don't work. (It is not in limp mode)
Could use a real fender roll (sometimes it will rub with a really hard bump) I say real because the previous owner said he did it with a baseball bat and a heat gun.

Lights on dash
ABS (because of sti cluster swap, common)
Rear diff temp (because its not grounded, common with sti cluster swaps)
Airbag (on because front seat airbags are not plugged in, the plug was different from 2006 to 2011)
Brake (also because of sti cluster swap)

I can send you more pics and videos if you have any questions please contact me
I have tried explaining everything in full detail so you have the best understanding of what you are bidding on.

2016 Subaru WRX: Is this successor worthy of the crown?

Mon, Feb 15 2016

I was leasing a 2012 Subaru WRX, a car I had wanted since forever. When the lease was up, I decided to trade it in and get another WRX, a 2016 model. Now that I've put over 7,500 miles on the new one, I can offer a fair comparison of the previous-generation model and newest model. While the basic DNA is the same – turbocharged boxer engine + symmetrical all-wheel drive – these cars look and feel rather different. Exterior The prior model WRX ran from 2008 to 2014. In 2011, though, Subaru upped the ante by giving its rally-inspired baby a widebody look similar to the STI variant. The WRX was offered as either a sedan or a hatchback. I opted for the hatchback version because of the extra cargo space, and I felt it looked better than the sedan. I loved the look of this car, especially in the classic World Rally Blue paint. The flared fenders, hood scoop, and quad exhaust tips made for one aggressive-looking machine. It definitely stood out from the crowd. The new model, on the other hand, introduced in 2015, is only offered as a sedan. It blends into the crowd for the most part, but I think the front end looks great and the side profile looks sleek. At the rear, Subaru did a nice job with the stainless steel exhaust tips versus the old model's unfinished tips, but the taillight design is nothing special. The low-profile trunk spoiler is a nice touch. The 18" wheels on the Premium and Limited models look sharp, though they're a bit on the heavy side. Interior The previous generation WRX was criticized for its spartan interior, but I didn't mind it. I liked the simplicity. Everything was easy to use, whereas newer cars have a bit of a learning curve with infotainment systems and whatnot. The red stitching and WRX-embroidered seats added some uniqueness to the car. The fit & finish weren't great, though. There was a rattling sound coming from the driver's side A-pillar that I had to fix. Subaru did a good job with the new model's interior. It feels more elegant than aggressive. The climate control knobs have a nice feel and weight to them, and the steering wheel is superb. There's a digital display on the gauges, a small screen on top of the dash, and Subaru's Starlink system for radio and phone. A back-up camera is standard and displays on the Starlink's 6.2" screen for 2016, which has been a surprisingly nice perk to have.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.
