USE & MAINTENANCE HISTORY
This is a 2010 WRX Limited Sedan with 37711 miles on it. It's driving style and pickup are easily comparable to a 335i, except you can do even more in the winter!
I am selling it at such a competitive price because my twin brother has the same car and we're moving to California together, so no need for the extra vehicle.

I always replaced oil on time or before scheduled service time (duh, who wouldn't) and used "super" octane fuel every time for cleaner burning.
It is currently running on synthetic oil just to make things a little easier (visiting Subaru so often is not my cup of tea and plus, synthetic is better!). 
This vehicle was purchased from Subaru in August 2010 and has been owned by an MIT Engineer who really loves his Subaru's reliability and flexibility. You can be sure your car was NOT used as a toy, but instead as a means to make cool trips and memorable adventures in New England.

DAMAGE REPORT --> IN GREAT SHAPE
Accidents: NONE! Even the spare tire is still unused.

Exterior: It has no damage beyond minor scuffs and scratches due to normal wear and tear. That is, both bumpers are a little scuffed, and atop of the car you might notice 4 small scuffs from the roofrack (nothing a wax and buff couldn't clear up). The hood is completely clean. All 4 rims are very clean and one has an unnoticeable scratch along the outside (probably from a curb). Some of the photos may have light in them which may look like a serious dent, however, there are no serious dents and it is merely the curvature of the car. On the passenger side rear door, you'll see a small scratch above the handle. I would be happy to send an interested buyer more descriptive pictures, but you really need to get close to see these minor details.

Interior: There are no rips/tears in the leather seats. The interior has minor scratches on some doors, but all due to normal wear and tear, nothing noticeable. Other than that, the trim work is very, very scratch free and new looking.

UNMODIFIED & DRIVES LIKE NEW
Some Features: I tried my best to include all of the features of this car, but clearly if you're looking here, you're interested in a WRX that is running well w/ all of the amenities.
There are NO DRIVE-TRAIN OR SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS. This car currently drives like a new WRX. I just (500 miles ago) had the steering belt and all struts / springs replaced under warranty.
The manual transmission still runs perfectly, and does not slip or make noise.

UNDER WARRANTY!
This car IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY with 32K MILES / 3 YEARS remaining, as it was purchased in August of 2010. I believe you can even extend that warranty another 30K (Subaru offers a "Platinum" warranty now that was not offered when purchasing the vehicle).


Upgrades/Work and ~$3000 EXTRAS:
  • Installed an optima yellowtop battery once this battery went down the drain. Optimas are some of the best batteries out there, so I thought I'd mention it.
  • Brakes were replaced 12K miles ago by Subaru
  • Installed an Alpine WXA-407 navigation unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ogLzrX9XQif you want to check it out. It really improved the sound quality of the stock speakers. It is compatible with Alpine's rear view reverse camera and comes with a Streetwire Zeronoise 3.5mm (headphone) jack for use with phones / ipods, laptops, etc.
  • Dynamatted interior (fully, under carpet, on roof, in doors, trunk, etc) so that the car doesn't shake and vibrate. It also lessens the amount of road noise and greatly improves speaker sound quality.
  • Premium quality UV protective dark tinted windows on all glass EXCEPT the driver's window and the windshield, as this is dangerous and probably illegal!
  • I'm selling this car with new OEM summer tires as well as the 4X Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25RFT Winter Tires(which have only been used for 1 winter for 3K miles). 
  • Comes with a high quality Thule ski / snowboard rack for fun trips.
Cool Features of the Limited Version
  • HID Headlights that move --> focus out yonder and towards the vehicle at the push of a button. Great for foggy and low visibility situations.
  • Heated, comfy leather seats
  • The extended armrest for a more comfortable experience when driving a manual vehicle
  • All weather floor mats / trunk mat
  • Fog lights
DON'T BUY A MODIFIED CAR. IT WON'T BE UNDER WARRANTY!! SUBARU STOCK ENGINES ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE FORCES FROM THESE AFTERMARKET PARTS AND YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF SPENDING MORE TIME REPAIRING THE CAR THAN ENJOYING IT.

Subaru Forester, Legacy and Outback earn IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced its more rigorous standards for the Top Safety Pick+ crash test rating back in September, and has recently called out some new models that have attained this highest rating. Last year, the TSP+ category was created for vehicles passing the then-new small overlap crash test; this year the top award has been amended to include crash prevention technology.
Thanks to its EyeSight technology, the Subaru Legacy, Outback and Forester are among just 22 vehicles to have been named a 2014 TSP+ by the IIHS. Without this technology, all three vehicles - and the Impreza and XV Crosstrek - were still named a Top Safety Pick (without the +).
To test the crash prevention technology, the IIHS uses two tests (one at 12 miles per hour and one at 25 mph) to see how well the systems do to lessen the severity of an impact. or prevent an impact altogether. Vehicles are then given a rating from Superior (best), Advanced or Basic, and cars that do not offer forward collision warning or auto braking are not given a rating in this category. To be named a TSP+, a car must achieve at least a Basic score for crash prevention, but all three Subaru models earned a perfect score to receive a Superior rating.

2017 Subaru BRZ First Drive

Fri, Jul 8 2016

When the Subaru BRZ debuted in 2012, it was heralded as a return to the traditional Japanese sport coupe formula – a compact, lightweight, rear-wheel-drive runabout that hearkened back to greats like the original Toyota Celica, Mazda's RX-3, and the Nissan 240SX. Japan is covered in mountains, and that's where its enthusiasts honed their hooning. Cars that emphasize handling, not horsepower, make the most sense there. Now, five years on, Subaru is using the model's first facelift to further differentiate it from its Toyota cousin. The BRZ is Subaru's ultimate vision of a sophisticated driver's car, more string-backed gloves than flat-brimmed hat. To prove the point, Subaru invited us to drive the refreshed 2017 specimen, along with 2016 models for comparison, at Japan's legendary Fuji Speedway. The BRZ's revised styling makes the distinction painfully clear right off the bat. It now sports a squarer jawline, with a chin described by senior designer Yuki Kumono as aircraft-inspired. LED DRLs are embedded in the new headlamps, moved up from the space they once shared with fog lights. A side note for Subaru fans: The C-shaped DRLs are called "hawkeyes" internally, which is sure to cause confusion among Subarists who have already given that name to the 2006–07 Impreza WRX and STI. Freshened taillights and a reshaped spoiler update the badonk, and the Subie has new fender inserts. Styling is of course a subjective matter, but anyone who says the sea-creature maw of the post-Scion 2017 Toyota 86 is better looking is clearly wrong. Ultimately, though, the question on everybody's minds is, "Does the BRZ have any more danged power?" The answer to that is yes, technically, but only on certain cars. The 2.0-liter boxer four makes five more horsepower and five more pound-feet of torque only on manual-transmission cars. That brings the totals to 205 hp and 156 lb-ft. Cries for a turbocharger have gone stubbornly unanswered. In typical Japanese fashion, it's not the numbers that matter. Subaru has focused instead on the overall driving feel, that elusive metric that can't be expressed on a spec sheet or through the frothing internet comments of armchair racers. Subaru's engineers, some of whom are trained as the company's expert test drivers, have toiled away at a host of improvements for the base Premium trim, the upper Limited grade, and a new Performance Package that's available on top of the latter.

2017 Toyota 86 Drivers' Notes | Fun, even with an automatic

Fri, Aug 25 2017

The Toyota 86 is a car that enthusiasts begged Toyota to build for decades. It's small, lightweight and rear-wheel drive. Thanks to a partnership with Subaru that resulted in the BRZ, this stylish coupe hit the streets in 2012. In the U.S., the car was originally known as the Scion FR-S but was rebadged as a Toyota after Scion was axed last year. Along with a new name, the 86 received updated styling both inside and out as well as a revised suspension and a slight bump in power, at least for the manual models. This Hot Lava-colored car doesn't feature Toyota's slick six-speed manual. Instead it rocks a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters. While some enthusiasts may look down at that, automatics make up more than half of 86 sales. Still, the bones are there, and some people don't think the automatic is all that bad. Either way, we can't encourage enough people to buy these cars, as we want Toyota and Subaru to keep building them. Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: When I first slid behind the wheel of the 86, I was surprised to see the gear selector and paddles. It's one of those cars that you don't think of as having anything but a manual transmission. Also, in an interior where all the controls and displays are underwhelming, a set of paddle shifters stands out as one of the few tactile objects in the cabin. I ended up using the paddles quite a bit, and found that I actually enjoyed using them, so much so that I'd actually consider opting for the automatic transmission were I to buy an 86. Despite shifts that aren't as razor sharp as they could be, the car's high-revving engine means that it still feels great to use. Riding an engine like this up to its redline, filling the cabin with noise, is the sort of thing that'll give you goosebumps. Being able to keep both hands on the wheel while shifting is a good thing for engagement in this car, based on my time with it. Plus, when I got stuck in traffic, I didn't have to wear out my left leg. The other brilliant thing about the Toyota 86 is its sense of balance. I loved the way it communicated its load distribution when cornering, whether on or off the throttle or brake. The fact that the nose of this car snaps right to where you want it when you start dialing in steering angle is satisfying. And its low stance and good view out the windshield make it really easy to place on the road.
