Wrx Mt5 **no Reserve** 14k Miles; Gps Navigation; Warranty; Original Owner on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
|
Mint Condition: This is one of the very last 2011’s. Bought new Sept
23, 2011. Total cost (with all add-ons) $29,625.85. Car has (as I write this)
14,090 original miles. I am the original owner. The car’s official mpg rating is 19/25. On March 17, 2014 the car had its oil change, service and adjustments made by the Subaru dealer service department. On April 13, I took it on a 200-mile highway roundtrip, purring along at a steady 65mph in 5th under cruise control. The car’s computer reported mpg of 25.5 (see picture). This engine is totally up-to-specs. Warranty: Car is still under manufacturer’s 3yrs/36000miles basic warranty, and 5yrs/60000miles power train warranty. Well Equipped: AWD MT5 with STi short-throw stick shift; Alpine
in-dash 7” motorized touch screen GPS Navigation System;; Backup camera;
Leather wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob; Anti-lock Braking; Vehicle
Dynamics Control; Electronic break-force distribution; Tire pressure monitoring
system; 235/45 R17 Summer Performance Tires on Alloy Wheels; Side-curtain air
bags; Automatic Climate Control; Cruise Control; Auto-dimming mirror; Sound
system with DVD player (you can watch a DVD movie), Bluetooth, mp3 disk player,
aux input, USB input; Power Amplifier and power speakers; Performance front
bucket seats; Height-adjustable driver’s seat; Dual-temp heated driver’s seat. Vehicle Cost: Performance: This car has amazing acceleration, rated at 0-60
in 4.7 secs. It not only does this from standstill; when cruising in 5th
gear at 65mph and you shift down to 4th and floor the accelerator,
in seconds the other traffic is left a mile or two behind you. And mark, I’ve
never had to redline the engine, it does all that at normal RPM of 2000-5000.
It has enormous torque at even low RPM. Wheels perfectly aligned. Drives
straight like on rails. Responsive steering and very small turning circle.
Feels good to be behind the wheel of this one. A Joy to Drive: It’s a pleasure driving this car. Great on the
straights, in curves, and especially in the winter’s snow and ice. I LOVE IT!
But now it’s time to change wheels: I’m shopping for a serious upgrade,
preferably a Porsche, or perhaps a BMW. Low Mileage: I'm the original owner. Used it mostly for weekend
joy rides and to go shopping. Drove it less than 5,000 miles/year. It's in as
mint condition as can be expected of a car that’s been used through three
brutal Scratched Bumpers: The car sits extremely low. The front bumper is just
inches from the ground. There’s no way to drive it through three Steering Wheel Bluetooth Controls: The steering wheel has buttons to control audio and
Bluetooth. The Alpine Navigation + Sound system does not allow for external
wired Bluetooth controls. All Bluetooth functions are controlled from the 7”
touch screen. The audio (mode, volume, track/channel) controls on the steering
wheel have been connected to the Alpine deck, and work correctly. The steering
wheel Bluetooth controls are unconnected, and do nothing.
Current Photos: I intentionally turned the camera's Date/Time thing
ON, so all the pictures are visibly dated. They were taken today. |

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Subaru recalling almost 634,000* CUVs, sedans for possible puddle light short
Thu, 03 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a massive recall campaign today for some of the more popular Subaru models due to defective puddle lights that could short out and possibly lead to smoke and/or fire.
(*)While the recall notice lists a total of 633,842 Forester, Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models from various model years, Automotive News is reporting that there are only 53,999 units actually equipped with the defective lights, but Subaru is having to make the massive recall since it is unable identify which vehicles have the lights.
The problem with the 2009 through 2012 Forester, 2006 through 2012 Tribeca and the 2010 through 2011 Legacy and Outback is that the puddle lights mounted under the door mirrors can collect water or moisture, which can lead to the short. To fix the problem, Subaru is adding an extra fuse to the wiring harness as a part of the recall that will go into effect next month. For Forester owners, this is the second major recall in less than a year following the 275,000 units that were afflicted with faulty rear seatbelts.
Toyota to offer sedan version of GT 86?
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Sources in Australia are reporting that we'll be seeing a small, rear-drive sedan from Toyota, based on the GT 86/Scion FR-S. Yes, a convertible variant is still in limbo, but a four-door sedan is in the works. It's unclear if the rumored GT 86 sedan would spawn Scion and Subaru variants (it's hard to cross all ten fingers while you type, but we're having a go).
Working with remarks made by the car's chief engineer Tetsuya Tada in his blog and a rendering from Japanese magazine Holiday Auto, the Australian site Motoring is claiming that the new model's wheelbase will grow about four inches over the current GT 86's 101.2-inch wheelbase.
Besides the larger overall space between the axles, the sedan will offer a more potent engine option over the current 2.0-liter, flat-four. Promising 268 horsepower, which is a big jump over the current car's 200 ponies, the new powertrain will be derived from the Hybrid R setup, shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If, like us, you're reaching for the salt, and we don't blame you.
