A very clean and well kept example of the Subaru Outback family. The paint is shiny with only very minor scratches, the aero package on the lower part of the body is in perfect shape and creates a very nice contrast; all glass is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks; all the lights are in perfect clean working order, both wiper systems, front and rear , have new blades and are in perfect working order. The power options - doors, windows, mirrors, windshield and mirror heaters, as well as the seat heaters and rear defrost are working as intended by Subaru. The heater and air condition system of the car are more than capable of dealing with any kind of outside temperature. There is no need to praise the Subaru All Wheel Drive system, it is known as one of the world's best and most reliable ones. A factory installed radio/CD player will provide relaxing music on these long trips or just on the short ones to the office. Being a wagon, the car allows for huge amounts of luggage to go with you, or, if you fold the split rear seats down, provides almost the space of a pick-up truck behind you. The factory roof rack can handle loads up to 100 lbs/45 kg and is a welcome convenience if you decide to take your canoe with you. I have purchased this car from a Subaru dealer, whom I have bought my last 6 cars from and who has never sold me a vehicle that gave me any trouble. My local Import Specialist checked the car before I listed it for sale and made sure the new owner will get something that can provide trouble free driving for a long time to come. I have the proper documentation for all the parts and services that were performed prior to listing the car for sale.

This is a list of the most important parts and services performed:

NEW RADIATOR, NEW THERMOSTAT, NEW COOLANT, NEW KNOCK SENSOR, NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS, NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTERS (2), NEW PARKING BRAKE SHOES, NEW ENGINE OIL AND FILTER, NEW TRANSMISSION OIL AND FILTER, NEW DIFFERENTIAL FLUID (2)

This is a PRIVATE SALE and I will deliver the car within 50 kms of Milton, Ontario, free of charge. I can deliver it to any address in Canada for a fee that has to be agreed upom BEFORE DELIVERY and needs to be PAID IN CASH ONLY.

I will answer any questions related to this car by e-mail as quickly as possible.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AT MY AD AND GOOD LUCK BIDDING!

Factory Five's Subaru WRX-based 818 kit now on sale [w/video]

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

The Subaru WRX has always needed a dash more style, and the do-it-yourself carmakers at Factory Five are looking to accomplish a lot more than that with their new mid-engine, rear-wheel drive 818. The sports car started with a contest in 2011 to create the shape for the company's next vehicle, while sticking within certain limits. A designer named Nouphone Bansasi had his entry chosen, and first cars were completed last year.
The 818 is named after its target weight of 818 kilograms (1,803 pounds), and it's offered in two forms. The S starts at $9,990 and is meant for street use, with two seats and a basic interior. The R model for $10,990 is more track-focused and features a tiny windshield and full roll cage. The company claims that complete cars can be built for around $15,000, after factoring in the donor Subaru. Performance is very brisk, with acceleration to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, according to Motor Authority.
The kits are meant to be something that even a relative novice could put together. All the builder needs to provide is a 2002-2007 Impreza or WRX. The car donates its turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine, transmission, axles, brakes, steering and other major components. Factory Five supplies the spaceframe, body, suspension, lights, windshield and some interior trim. It doesn't even need paint, thanks to its gel-coated fiberglass body panels. The company also offers a laundry list of options, including carbon fiber aero components, upgraded suspension parts, improved brakes and more. Kits can be ordered in either left- or right-hand drive.

Subaru Viziv is a diesel hybrid crossover we could learn to love

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

With the 2013 XV Crosstrek, Subaru reaffirmed its interest in niche crossovers, and early signs are that it's selling well, so will parent Fuji Heavy Industries green-light another one? That's the question begged by the new Viziv concept just unveiled here at the Geneva Motor Show.
Of course, this is a pure showcar, and the four-seat crossover coupe's drivetrain is suitably next-generation as well. The plug-in hybrid drivetrain system features a 2.0-liter diesel boxer engine mated to a CVT, and a pair of electric motors drive the rear wheels for a through-the-road all-wheel-drive system. By going with motor-driven rear axles, Subaru says it has been able to provide larger rear-seat footwell and lower load floor. More excitingly, Subaru says its control systems allow for side-to-side torque vectoring for improved handling, and the system actually apportions more power to the rear wheels when the Viziv takes a corner.
In typical concept car fashion, the Viziv features flashy butterfly doors that provide access to both the front and rear seats, along with oversized 20-inch wheels and cutting-edge lighting. We like the Viziv's overall design direction - it looks more organic and all-of-a-piece than we're used to seeing from the Japanese automaker.

Are you the Subaru WRX Concept for New York?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

When Subaru dropped a hint about bringing an "all-new performance concept car" to the New York Auto Show this year, we immediately started hoping and praying that a conceptual iteration of the next WRX was in the offing. Looks like that might have paid off. While no official word has yet been written or uttered from Subaru, a French website called Blog Automobile has released a gallery of images that would seem to spill the beans about the WRX Concept.
If the leaked images are correct - and they look awfully complete and well done if they're not - WRX styling is taking a turn for the handsome. The sleek sedan in these images has all of the cues that we've come to expect from our rally-ready Imprezas: a dominating hood scoop and very wide stance with beefy wheels, and seems to miss only the rear wing to fit the perfect WRX stereotype. (And, yes, it should have gold wheels.)
There's no press release to be found, but the source is citing specifications as if it knows what it's talking about. We're told that 275 to 300 horsepower are the likely output of the turbocharged boxer four-cylinder engine, and that brakes with ventilated discs and six-piston calipers are there to haul the all-wheel-drive Scooby down from speed. If our earlier reporting is correct, we might expect to find an electric turbo under that imposing hood, too.
