2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS with 179k miles. Body has some small dents here and there and a hole in the spoiler but looks good overall. This was a Florida car so there is no rust.

Car is sold strictly as-is, Please read:

Runs and drives well except has an intermittent rough idle and wants to die at idle after warming up. Has excellent power but CEL flashes sometimes when at idle or low RPM's, though I felt no misfiring or jerkiness. Accelerates smoothly and goes through all gears perfectly. I do not know what's wrong with this car, it could need something minor or more major. I have driven it about 30 miles and it did not overheat or have any missing under load. After it warmed up it did seem to want to stall at idle such as when coming to a stop light. I do not know what's wrong with the engine at all so it is being sold for parts as-is. Will need to be towed. Though I think it could make a drive okay, I would have it towed for peace of mind.

Now with all that being said, I know that the heat and the a/c work great, the tires are in very good shape, the brakes and e-brake work wonderfully. The steering is smooth and tight, the suspension is good aside from a very slight knock over bumps. The interior has wear on the driver seat and floor mainly, but is otherwise good. Power windows and mirrors work fine. The cruise light flashes and the cruise is non-functional. Also no radio is currently installed. The car will come with the currently installed snow tires only.
As said, this car does need work. To what extent I just don't know. I have taken a few 30 minute rides with it and the first time it seeme to want to stall at idle, the second time it just exhibited a bit of a low idle at stops. I'm not a mechanic so I'd rather just sell it and let someone else figure it out.

Vehicle can be picked up in either North Kingstown, RI 02852 or Mystic, CT 06355
I can be reached at 860-245-8040 if you have any questions or would like to take a look at the car.

Subaru WRX hatchback mule spotted

Tue, 02 Sep 2014

Despite on-again, off-again rumors, this latest set of spy shots seems to indicate that yes, a five-door Subaru WRX is indeed in the works. Subtlety is key with this test mule, but there are clear bits of evidence that indicate a hotter hatchback is what's being developed here.
First, notice the WRX-spec front fascia grafted onto this ordinary-looking Impreza hatch. From there, we can clearly see the tiny bit of added width - most obvious on the roof and at the rear, near the fuel door and taillamps. And of course, let's not forget about that bulge in the hood, consisting of a metal panel that covers the hood scoop and can apparently be removed thanks to a series of screws, according to our spies. The WRX's more robust exhaust and larger wheel/tire package have not been added to this mule, though we're told that this is commonplace for Subaru prototypes - those bits should be added on as the car's development progresses.
We fully expect a WRX hatchback to be, well, just that - mechanically, it should be identical to the sedan brethren, though our spies indicate that Subaru could be testing an updated version of the WRX-spec boxer engine. Of course, there's always a chance that this could be something else entirely, given the on-and-off reports of the five-door 'Rex's existence in the first place...

Day 2: We made it to Patagonia | Subarus in South America

Wed, Feb 17 2016

We made it. After Monday's layover in Buenos Aires on Tuesday afternoon, Chris McGraw and I landed in El Calafate, Argentina – right smack in the middle of Patagonia. The Andes mountains were to our west, open plains and lakes cut by glaciers to our east. McGraw and I settled inside a Subaru Outback, and with big smiles on our faces, high-fived as I said the words, "Dude... We're in f*cking Patagonia." Our official adventure starts today, where we're driving a number of Subaru crossovers on all sorts of terrain, visiting glaciers that are larger than most American cities, and taking in some of the most scenic landscape I've ever laid eyes on. Crosstreks, Foresters, and Outbacks will get us to our next destination, and we'll have a full recap of the day's activities for you tomorrow morning. Be sure to follow along with us on social media – Autoblog's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram will provide more insights into our journey. Of course, both Chris and I will be posting individual impressions from the journey, so follow us, too (@stevenewing and @thequikdraw). In the meantime, get an idea of our epic surroundings in the video above.

2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.
