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.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Toyota GT86 GT4 racer is ready for UK competition

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

It's about time we saw someone cook up a legitimate race version of the delectable Toyota GT86, and now it looks as if GPRM has done just that. The Buckingham-based race engineering team has built the creation you see here, complete with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, direct-injection four-cylinder boxer cooked up by Nicholson McLaren Engines. The team says the new mill delivers between 360 and 400 horsepower to the rear wheels depending on final testing, which is a sight bit more than the 197 horses the naturally aspirated stock mill offers.
The car will compete in GT4 events, including the Avon Tyres British GT Championship. Technically, the GPRM effort isn't factory backed, but the team says the effort "has the blessing of Toyota Great Britain." How could it not? You can check out the brief press release below below, and be sure to take a closer look at the machine in our gallery.

2015 Subaru WRX gets down and dirty

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

Looks rarely tell the whole story. We'll admit to being a bit let down by the Subaru WRX and its rather conservative appearance - where were the gold wheels and the spoilers? Hatchback? World Rally Blue? But after seeing it in this video and hearing that signature, throaty growl while this red example drifts and slides around dirt roads, we're starting to get more excited.
While the growl is the main reason for watching the clip below (you should do that now), Subaru has also thrown in some information about the improved suspension, and increased power. Learn along with us, below.
