2007 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti Limited Sedan 4-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Newtown, Connecticut, United States
2007 Subaru WRX STI LIMITED 547/800 URBAN GREY Please watch this youtube video which has a large slideshow of photos! Overview: I am the second owner of this beautiful machine. I purchased this STI Limited from California in 2010 with about 16,000 miles, and shipped to Connecticut in a closed trailer. The previous owner had it as a weekend car; it was his baby. He purchased the Cobb Port for it, and it has always run a stage 1 tune (which apparently makes the air/fuel mixture better). Besides the stage 1 tune the car is bone stock. The previous owner mentioned that had he kept the car he would have done a SPT or Cobb downpipe and an aftermarket intake, but never got around to it. The previous owner did spend around $6,000 on a completely custom and well balanced audio system. Upon purchasing the car I intended to daily drive it, but despite its bolstered heated leather seats, sound system and sunroof, the STI Limited is a raw sports car. So like the previous owner I chose to keep it as a weekend car, and continued to daily my BMW 335. It has always been washed and waxed by hand and is taken on nice weekend drives in the Connecticut countryside spring, summer and fall. In the winter the car is stored in a temperature controlled garage, Stabil put in a full tank of 93, battery tender attached, and tires over pressurized (and rolled around occasionally) so not to get flat spots. Despite their reputation for being great in the snow, this car has never seen snow or salty roads. It has also never been tracked and was always adult driven. I am selling this STI because it has become one of too many toys. I barely have time to drive one weekend car, so now the STI gets neglected for the 911. The STI needs a new owner to baby her. Exterior: The car is completely MINT. It is without a doubt in my mind the cleanest STI Limited out there. It is one of 400 in the Urban Grey color and #547/800 STI Limited models produced. There are a few minor scratches here and there but they are almost unnoticeable without already knowing they are there. Any maintenance done to the car was done either at Danbury Subaru in Danbury, CT or EFI Logics in Bethel CT. EFI Logics is one of the best Subaru performance shops on the east coast. They recently flushed the diff fluid, did an oil change, brake fluid flush, brake pads and more. EFI also recommended I replace the brake rotors with stop tech Kryostop rotors but I never got around to it. The current rotors are not bad, but they are worn unevenly so they wear pads out more quickly. I just replaced the battery in the car as the charge was weak. The car also has brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires wrapped around the silver Enkei wheels unique to the STI Limited. This past fall when I driving the STI I struck a possum that ran into the road. This cracked the original front splitter with the STI badge and lightly damaged the front bumper. The car's bumper was repaired and the splitter replaced by North State Custom in Bedford Hills, NY. The front bumper looks better than it did from the factory. There are absolutely no bad panel gaps, in fact they are better than factory. The front splitter no longer has the STI badge on it but looks just like the factory one. I have all the receipts for any work done to the car, including those from the previous owner. Everything is documented. Interior: The STI's interior, like the exterior, is mint. The console looks very clean with the Pioneer head unit. This car features the Subaru factory boost gauge on the steering column. The interior has always been cleaned with high end products. While I have owned the car I have cleaned and conditioned the leather a few times. No harmful sprays or all purpose cleaners have been used. Warm water and soft rags to wipe down and windex for windows. The car has both summer and winter mats. The drivers side summer mat is torn where it attaches to the single pin that holds it in place (a very bad design if you ask me). All the other mats are perfect. The driver's seat has very light wear on the outside bolster. The rest of the seats look new; the interior still has that new car smell. The trunk and trunk mat are very clean. The trunk mat isn't removable because the JL stealth box was mounted on top of it. The amplifiers are mounted under the trunk floor where the spare tire would have been. All the wiring is invisible; it is truly a stealth audio system. The spare tire is in a tire rack donut bag and can be kept in the car or left at home. The original radio is in the pioneer box and will be included with the car. The Cobb tuning port (box, instructions, etc) will also be included in the sale.
Audio System: The audio system features a pioneer touchscreen head unit which looks simpler and more elegant than stock. The head unit also features bluetooth phone capability (has a mic built in) and a reverse camera mounted in the license plate location. It has upgraded pioneer speakers in all the doors (component in front/coax in rear) and a kicker amplifier to power them. It also has a JL 10w6v2 subwoofer in a stealth box, and a kicker amplifier to power that as well. A note to the buyer: The milage will vary slightly as I do take the car out occasionally. Local Pickup is easier. Buyer pays and arranges shipping if desired. Serious inquires only!!! No joyrides. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask! Thanks for looking! Best of Luck |

Subaru Legacy Concept has us getting our hopes up
Wed, 20 Nov 2013It happens all the time. We get excited about a really attractive Subaru concept, and then the production car comes out and, well, "disappointed" isn't a strong enough word. (Compare that hot Impreza concept to the final production car.) So while we're hopeful that this new Legacy concept previews something sleek for Subaru, allow us to be fully on record as not getting our hopes up.
Anyway, let's talk about how good this car looks. From the front, comparisons to the Buick Regal GS are warranted, but from all other angles, it has a very four-door coupe-like shape. The concept rides on 21-inch wheels with bulging wheel arches that Subaru says hints at the car's all-wheel-drive system (standard Subaru fare, BRZ aside).
As for what exactly this concept previews, the safe guess is, of course, the next-generation Legacy midsize sedan. And while we'll keep our fingers crossed for a sweet-looking production sedan to come out of Fuji Heavy in the near future, it's safe to say we're still skeptical.
Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
Here's the story with the Chicken Tax
Fri, Dec 12 2014Quiz America's auto enthusiasts about the vehicles they most want to see in the US market, and for every one that doesn't respond with a French hot hatchback or some diesel-powered offering, there'd be at least three that ask for some small, imported pickup truck. That won't happen, though, and we have the Chicken Tax to thank. This damnable bit of legislation affixes a 25-percent tariff to any light truck not built in the United States. That's why Honda, Toyota and Nissan build all their trucks in the United States, and it's also why pickups like the foreign-built Volkswagen Amarok, shown above, or the long-rumored Mahindra pickup aren't offered here. Wired has the story on the roots of the Chicken Tax, including how one Japanese manufacturer got around it and even delivered a vehicle to one of our country's presidents. Head over and check it out.
