Additionally, there are knicks on the rear bumper from putting a bicycle on the back. The car was in an accident in 2009, but all damage (which was cosmetic) was completely repaired, and the car has been driven 60,000 miles since then. It runs very well."

I am selling my 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX Limited Wagon.  This is my personal car; I am not a dealer.  I bought it in 2008 with just under 25,000 miles on it, and I am selling it at 113,528 (plus a few for test drives).  I have loved this car, and you will too.  It drives extremely well, has expert handling (it handles very well in rain and over ice and snow, as I've found), and is FAST.  It's a utility car that moves.  I have made no add-ons to the engine, so it was never under any undue stress.  Last year, I replaced the clutch and differential, so there are no worries there.  This is a car that will last you a long time.  Unfortunately, I have to sell it, as I had to get something more family-oriented.


The interior looks great; the leather is in good shape.  There is a divot in the driver's side floor mat from my heel, and there are five characters on the passenger seat that unfortunately rubbed off from my roommate's pants.  Other than that, the interior has been well taken care of.  

As I mentioned above, aside from the normal dings and scratches that you would expect from a car with 113k miles on it, there are two things of note:
  • I put a bike rack on the back a few years ago that didn't quite fit, and the bicycle spokes nicked up the edge of the bumper.  You can see this in the pics below.  The scratches are a few inches under the Subaru logo.  I would think that this is something that could be buffed out, but I never really cared about it.
  • The car was in an accident in 2009.  All damage to the vehicle was contained in the left-front part of the car.  I had to have some minor body work done, but everything was completely repaired.  The accident did not damage anything mechanical under the hood; it didn't even deploy the airbags.  This will show up as a severe accident however, because it was towed from the scene.  That is completely ridiculous; the car was towed as a precaution.  Anyway, it should be obvious enough that the car is fine; I've driven it some 60,000 miles since then, and it's in great running order.  Regardless, I will try to get a video of the car linked here within the next few days.  To compensate for this, I am marking the car DOWN from its KBB value, in spite of the excellent score it gets on AutoCheck and the recommendation by CarFax that it should be sold $500 higher than book value.
Please send a 10% deposit via PayPal within 24 hrs of the end of the auction, and final payment should be made within 7 days.  Cash is preferred, if you're local, and electronic transfer is preferred if you aren't.  If the car is paid for by electronic transfer, I will release it when the bank confirms that the funds are in my account.  If you're outside of Atlanta, we can arrange shipment of the car through whatever means works for you.

Thanks for looking.  I've loved this car, and I know you will too.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.

2015 Subaru Legacy is fresh-faced and more frugal

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

While Subaru posted its best sales year ever in the United States in 2013, over half of its sales came from the success of the new Forester and popularity of the Outback. Its midsize Legacy sedan, on the other hand, saw sales tumble 10.3 percent. The company known for its all-wheel drive models hopes to right that trajectory with the 2015 Legacy. The all-new sedan sees a slight bump in fuel economy and a commitment to giving buyers a better product to compete against segment stalwarts like the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.
The refreshed sedan wears Subaru's new design language, which was teased by the Legacy Concept at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. However, the production version takes the hard, crisp lines down several notches, and it is bordering on boring at first glance. The best detail of the new design is the new hexagonal shield grille at the front that lends a little upscale panache over the current car's simple, rectangular front end. The coupe-like roofline has also been toned down from the concept, but it does smooth out the rear better than the current gen.
The Legacy's engines are carried over almost identically from last year's car. However both flavors of manual transmission are finally bowing out; all models now come with Subaru's Lineartronic CVT. Output from the 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder sees a slight bump to 175 horsepower (2 hp more than last year's model) and 174 pound-feet of torque. The 3.6-liter boxer six-cylinder is unchanged at 256 hp and 247 lb-ft. Fuel economy benefits from the new platform with the 2.5-liter model rated at an estimated 26/36/30 miles per gallon city/highway/combined, a boost of 2/4/3 mpg, respectively, over the previous generation. The 3.6-liter also sees a modest rise to 20/28/23 mpg, 2/3/3 mpg better respectively. Fairly impressive figures for an all-wheel-drive, midsize sedan.
