The Good, I take good care of my stuff, bought this new and have the best mechanic one could have. Runs fantastic and quiet for a Subaru, 50k miles ago the motor had an "issue'" and was replaced with one that was warranted to have 60k on it and the water pump and timing belt package were changed at that time. Transmission was replaced at one point as well. Fluids were always changed at or before factory specs. Whenever anything needed repair we loosened up the paycheck and did it. It stops quick and handles fine. The doors, hood, and hatch all open and shut and lock correctly. The front seats look weirdly new (some sheep gave it up to protect them and left just last week). Air and heat work good. Has 2 1/2 sets of floor mats,a husky set in front, almost unused all weather mats, and brand new factory carpet mats. All lights work. Comes with a Kenwood radio (got to have my USB port) and an nearly unused factory CD weather radio. Tires have a lot of life left. Never has been in a wreck. It is a Subaru. Clint Eastwood might be the coolest dude ever.

The BAD, We have not rolled back the mileage - 395k is correct. It leaks about a quart of power steering fluid about every 2500 miles and have not looked into why. The check engine light is on. My mechanic says that it is a "weak" reading on the catalytic converter. He said that it would run fine and not pollute any worse. On a Subaru if the check engine light is on the cruse control will not work. Must be right as that happened 250k ago and it has run fine since. The power mirror button seems to work only one way (saw replacement on ebay for $20). Lee Van Cleef has never ridden in this car.

The Ugly, Has a dent in the back bumper (thank you fellow mall patron who can not park). Body-man said it was an easy fix, but forgot to do it when it was in for a windshield. That was one heck of a hail storm. But it detracts only from the beauty and not the function. I never thought Eli Wallach was that ugly.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask. You will have to pick this up in Otis, Colorado within 10 days after winning the bid. Payment must be in full. Thank you for your time.

Subaru XV runs over dog in Russian ad, but in a funny way

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

In case you're wondering, no, the woman didn't actually hit the dog. This is just a commercial, and a fairly clever one after you get over the perceived canicide, that's meant to show off the desirability of Subaru's lifted Impreza wagon, the XV Crosstrek.
We'll try not to spoil it for you, because it is a fairly humorous piece, but you have to make sure to watch it from start to finish. The found-footage angle of it, which sort of presents it with the same quality as a Russian dashcam video, just adds to the video's ridiculous premise.
We aren't sure if this is an actual ad from the Russian arm of Subaru, as it seems to be posted from an independent account with only one video to its credit. Still, have a look below, and let us know what you think.

2015 Subaru WRX STI photos hit the web early

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Wing? Check. WR Blue? Yep. Gold wheels? Aw, yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the 2015 Subaru WRX STI, which has leaked out ahead of its Detroit Auto Show debut, courtesy of Mexican website Terra Autos.
We don't have any firm details to go on, but as we reported earlier, the STI is expected to use a turbocharged, 2.5-liter boxer four producing something like 300 to 305 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque. (Note: The standard WRX uses a new, Forester-derived 2.0-liter engine.) Expect the usual host of STI fitments, including a more performance-oriented suspension tune and upgraded brakes, but don't expect a five-door variant - like the WRX, the STI will be a sedan-only affair.
Check out the leaked shots of the new STI in the gallery above, and stay tuned for all of the official details next week.

2013 Subaru Legacy and Outback recalled over potential steering loss

Wed, 15 May 2013

Subaru today announced a recall that affects 5,379 Legacy sedan and Outback wagon models in the United States. All of the affected 2013 model-year vehicles were built between February 15 and June 15 of 2012.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the inner and outer shafts of the steering column assembly may become disengaged from one another" in these vehicles. If that happens, the driver can lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which could obviously lead to all sorts of harmful things.
Subaru will notify owners of the problem, and affected models will have their steering columns replaced at dealerships, free of charge. Scroll down for the official NHSTA report.
