Year:2011 Mileage:14090
Location:

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Mint Condition: This is one of the very last 2011’s. Bought new Sept 23, 2011. Total cost (with all add-ons) $29,625.85. Car has (as I write this) 14,090 original miles. I am the original owner.

The car’s official mpg rating is 19/25. On March 17, 2014 the car had its oil change, service and adjustments made by the Subaru dealer service department. On April 13, I took it on a 200-mile highway roundtrip, purring along at a steady 65mph in 5th under cruise control. The car’s computer reported mpg of 25.5 (see picture). This engine is totally up-to-specs.

Warranty: Car is still under manufacturer’s 3yrs/36000miles basic warranty, and 5yrs/60000miles power train warranty.

Well Equipped: AWD MT5 with STi short-throw stick shift; Alpine in-dash 7” motorized touch screen GPS Navigation System;; Backup camera; Leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob; Anti-lock Braking; Vehicle Dynamics Control; Electronic break-force distribution; Tire pressure monitoring system; 235/45 R17 Summer Performance Tires on Alloy Wheels; Side-curtain air bags; Automatic Climate Control; Cruise Control; Auto-dimming mirror; Sound system with DVD player (you can watch a DVD movie), Bluetooth, mp3 disk player, aux input, USB input; Power Amplifier and power speakers; Performance front bucket seats; Height-adjustable driver’s seat; Dual-temp heated driver’s seat.

Vehicle Cost:
Manufacturer’s List price was (incl. Destination Charge) - $26,271.
Add-Ons:
OEM (Dealer-installed): STi short-throw shifter - $295.00; STi shifter bushing - $25.95; auto-dimming mirror with compass - $249.95; armrest extension - $144.00; trunk storage nets - $39.95 = total OEM $754.85.

Performance: This car has amazing acceleration, rated at 0-60 in 4.7 secs. It not only does this from standstill; when cruising in 5th gear at 65mph and you shift down to 4th and floor the accelerator, in seconds the other traffic is left a mile or two behind you. And mark, I’ve never had to redline the engine, it does all that at normal RPM of 2000-5000. It has enormous torque at even low RPM. Wheels perfectly aligned. Drives straight like on rails. Responsive steering and very small turning circle. Feels good to be behind the wheel of this one.

A Joy to Drive: It’s a pleasure driving this car. Great on the straights, in curves, and especially in the winter’s snow and ice. I LOVE IT! But now it’s time to change wheels: I’m shopping for a serious upgrade, preferably a Porsche, or perhaps a BMW.

Low Mileage: I'm the original owner. Used it mostly for weekend joy rides and to go shopping. Drove it less than 5,000 miles/year. It's in as mint condition as can be expected of a car that’s been used through three brutal New England winters.

Scratched Bumpers: The car sits extremely low. The front bumper is just inches from the ground. There’s no way to drive it through three New England winters without scraping the bumpers on cement-hard piles of refrozen snow, no matter how careful you are. And in those supermarket parking lots they (whoever THEY are) always manage to bump against and scrape my bumpers. There are scratches (see pictures). I could have taken it to Maaco for a cheap fix. I didn't. You can take it to Maaco if you feel strongly about it. The asking price has been adjusted accordingly.

Steering Wheel Bluetooth Controls: The steering wheel has buttons to control audio and Bluetooth. The Alpine Navigation + Sound system does not allow for external wired Bluetooth controls. All Bluetooth functions are controlled from the 7” touch screen. The audio (mode, volume, track/channel) controls on the steering wheel have been connected to the Alpine deck, and work correctly. The steering wheel Bluetooth controls are unconnected, and do nothing.

Current Photos: I intentionally turned the camera's Date/Time thing ON, so all the pictures are visibly dated. They were taken today.

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid [w/video]

Mon, 11 Nov 2013

The butler announcing arriving guests to the hybrid party has just called Subaru's name, at long last. The XV Crosstrek wasn't even supposed to come to the US, but the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid endows it with a suit tailored for our regulatory dress code, adding all that weighty battery goodness to the Impreza-turned-compact-crossover.
Subaru didn't want to say why it sent the XV Crosstrek to the hybrid party first, but the original car itself was an opportunistic play for the European market that has worked out surprisingly well over there and over here. In areas represented by the American flag it's doing about 4,000 sales per month and on pace to hit 50,000 units for all of 2013; that's just another happy chapter in Subaru's generally awesome year that sees it outpacing Volkswagen through the end of October, 347,890 units to 342,962.
The XV Crosstrek Hybrid is the opportunistic play for the 25 percent of Subaru buyers that will be looking for a hybrid as their next vehicle, so sayeth Subaru, and for those outside the fold who are determined to include the word "hybrid" in their purchase but also want some extra ride height, space and all-wheel drive.

Consumer Reports sneaks in early review of 2015 Subaru Outback

Wed, 21 May 2014

Subaru is taking a bit of a measured risk with its new generation of Legacy and Outback. While they ride on a slightly larger platform than before, with a revised front-end design, neither of them looks to be a radical departure from models they replace. Instead of focusing on exterior styling, the Japanese brand is trying to make the vehicles better to own with more sound deadening, improved fuel economy and more available tech. Pricing for the 2015 Outback isn't available yet, but with the 2015 Legacy pricing as a guide, it's likely a few hundred dollars more than the current model.
We just had our first stab at the new Legacy, which is slated to go on sale this summer, but Consumer Reports managed to snag an early look at the 2015 Outback in a sort of mini-review to get an idea of how the new model shakes out. Like many, we'd wager, CR isn't completely sold on the new styling, but seems otherwise moderately impressed by the upgrades. The improvements to the interior and infotainment system are especially well received by them. Naturally, though, CR notes that not everything is perfect with the high-riding wagon.
Scroll down to watch CR's preview of the new Outback and see what it thinks of this practical family hauler.
