my new WRX

[VaderGT]

Well here is my new WRX i traded my mustang for




I have to say I am not to thrilled. The car stock stumbles like crap on the stock tune. Boost drop if is nuts from 1-2, The hill assist BS in this car that cant be turned off makes me want to drive it into a ****ing wall. I feel like driving it fun stock its gonna blow and by fixing any of the issues of it being stock to make it more enjoyable then i would really be in fear of it going BOOM. So i am damned if i do and damned if I dont. I wish there was ANY locally I coulda test drove before making a deal but I didnt have that option as it would have made me not buy it. Having loads of power isnt a huge deal to me but just fear of driving it that at any time I think its gonna turn into a paper weight does get to me. I already wanna trade it for a '13 GT

13 gt ftw!

Um... should have test drove it.


Nice car though, I drove my buddies 2011 and loved it.

I wish i could have test drove it..but none where on lots, and most were selling before they hit the lots so i had to make the deal before it even got to the lot. the one dealer I made a deal with at first who they lost my buisness cause the salesguy was an asshat wouldnt let me test drive the one they had

[Mark Aubele]

I would never buy a car I couldn't test drive, it isn't like it is a Ferrari. I remember that bullshit back when I bought my SRT4 back in '03, sales guys acted like it was some kind of racecar. Just went to another dealer.

Hope you learn to like it better. Drove a couple when I bought the Cobalt SS/TC, just didn't like the car all that much, good power, just felt soft.

Nice looking Car I bet a tune fixes most of your problems

[John4cam]

You can't beat those for an all around vehicle. Looks nice.

That sucks! Hopefully a tune helps. My buddy's 09 feels good with a tune.

I just got my 2012 wrx in december from the mustang. I did notice the real laggy power on low end, once you start building boost or keep it in boost it does run pretty good, I was dead even with a 09 sti. Plus i kinda just bought it to dd it, trust me if we lived more south new 5.0 all the way. Its gonna be hard not to trade this thing in on a new 5.0 tho. Its just a really nice car to drive everyday.

2013 Gt :)

Nice looking car. Please don't put a fart-can muffler on it though...

How's the gas mileage in those when you have your foot in it?

[ebo 4356]

On my wrx I average 23 24mpg everyday driving, that's getting on it a good bit to. I usually get about 31mpg on highway!

[PaxtonShelby]

That's pretty darn impressive. Drive a Mustang like that and you're looking at 15mpg!

[ebo 4356]

Yeah it's a really nice car to drive everyday. I just really want a new 5.0 still lol, maybe in a few years I'll have to trade the subaru in on one

I get 18 mpg beating the hell out of mine..22 mixed driving...got 26mpg to carlisle last year but that was trying hard. IMO not bad for a supercharged car.

Still not something you would want to DD in the winter though

Those are good numbers as well. I was talking more about the older fox / sn95 style cars, as that's as "new" a Mustang as I have owned. With your foot in it at all you're only looking at mid teens at best. That's why I work 6 miles from home...gas mileage is not a concern.

[jaa55]

haha that used to be good gas mileage not that long ago!

X2. Mine is bone stock with spt cat back. I love my wrx. I have a 09. Paid 18k for it with 38k miles last year!

[SonofaBish]

Can't comment on how they run, but its a good looking car imho.... i like the looks better than a 5.0, but less than a GT500

either way - good luck with it...

[VaderGT]

this is the exhaust I am gonna get

flush with the rear bumper and looks like factory tips
according to my little mpg in the car its says I am getting 19.5 but only has 230miles on it
