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 unveils catchily named WRX STI tS Type RA in Japan

Tue, 02 Jul 2013

We feel safe in saying it's time for Subaru to step away from the keyboard for a spell. The company just unveiled this new WRX STI tS Type RA in Japan, and while the car features all sorts of tricks to help it stand out from the rest of the WRX rabble, it also boasts a name that looks like the product of a good old fashioned QWERTY Hulk smash. Nomenclature aside, this WRX STI features a revised suspension with tweaked springs and dampers as well as a faster steering ratio, Brembo brakes and a front strut tower brace.
JDM buyers can pick between the ever-sexy (if loud) Tangerine Orange Pearl paint seen here, Satin White Pearl or Blue Mica. There's also available NBR Challenge Package, complete with a set of Recaro front seats, a few carbon fiber aero bits and 18-inch BBS forged wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE070 rubber. How's that for delicious?
Subaru is only planning to crank out 300 WRX STI tS Type RA units, two-thirds of which will carry the NBR goodies.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

2014 Subaru BRZ gets exceedingly modest price increase

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

Subaru has announced pricing for the 2014 BRZ, and with a $25,595 MSRP, it starts at just $100 more than the 2013 model. The destination charge adds $795 - a $25 increase over 2013 - bringing the total to $26,390.
Aside from the very modest price increase, the 2014 BRZ is essentially the same as its 2013 predecessor. The one notable change for 2014 is that Aha infotainment smartphone integration now comes with the standard navigation system. Subaru is one of the first automakers to include this feature, which delivers smartphone activity such as live news, podcasts and social media news feeds to drivers through the radio.
The rear-wheel-drive BRZ's other features remain the same, and we certainly don't have any complaints about that. It still comes with a 200-horsepower boxer engine, manufacturer-estimated fuel economy of 34 miles per gallon on the highway, 2+2 seating, and options such as dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats.
