I’m selling
my super clean and extremely well cared for 2004 WRX. I changed jobs Jan 1st and for the
first time in 3 years now have to deal with a traffic-filled commute. I just bought my first automatic and am
selling the WRX… in 12 years I’ve never owned an automatic; hopefully I don’t
end up regretting it.

If you’re in
the market for a “blobeye” WRX that is fun to drive but also reliable enough to
count on day in and day out, then this is it.
This car has never lived up north and hasn’t seen anything more than a
light dusting of snow and has never once been exposed to salt of any kind. I am only the second owner of the car and
have had it the past 6 years; I know it forwards and backwards. When I first got the car, it wasn’t in as
good of mechanical shape as I had thought.
It ended up being a blessing in disguise thanks to Subaru and their SAS
Gold warranty; the car is in better shape today than it was when I purchased it
back in January of 2008. When I
originally purchased it in Atalnta, GA I had thought I was getting transferred
to Denver but instead I was relocated to Los Angeles for 1 year and then have
been in Dallas the last 5 years. The car
has never seen snow and other than the couple of small dents (2 on hood and 1
on front right fender) is in great shape.
Since I’ve owned it, the car has always been garaged.
Back in 2008,
the engine seized up on me within a few months of owning the car and Subaru
replaced the entire short block and turbo at 71,xxx. Subaru also replaced the synchros in 3rd
and 4th. At the time, the
heads were still in spec so those didn’t get replaced. I had the heads completely re-machined and
rebuilt at 92,xxx. I also replaced every
engine seal as well as all of the head studs.
I haven’t had any mechanical issues since and the car is never tracked,
auto-x’d or raced… just a plain old daily driver that gets me around DFW. They only time the revs ever see > 4K is
the occasional highway onramp but that is rare.
After the engine seized at 71k on Mobil1, I started using Castrol Syntec
(full synthetic) and change the oil every 3,500-4k. All the major suspension upgrades were done
within the last 5,000 miles. I also have a full maintenance log that details
everything that has been done to the car.
The last compression test was on 4/26/13 and was 150psi across all
cylinders.

In this week's Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Green Editor John Snyder and Associate Editor Joel Stocksdale. This episode is all about driving, on- and off-road, and in a variety of vehicles. In particular, the trio are talking about recent experiences in the 2020 Subaru Outback, 2020 Cadillac XT6, 2019 Mercedes-AMG C 63 S and 2020 Hyundai Palisade. At the end, they tackle an interesting and particularly tough "Spend My Money" question involving whether or not to put off purchasing a Jeep Wrangler in favor of a sensible daily driver.

The 2014 Subaru Forester is not on sale yet here in the US, but it has been on sale in Japan since the middle of last month. In that time, Subaru says that the 8,149 customer orders it has received have more than quadrupled the original expectation of just 2,000 units.
To go along with these impressive orders so far, Subaru has also provided a breakdown of exactly what initial customers are ordering, and based on the numbers provided, it would appear that early customers are choosing well-equipped models. This includes almost 90 percent of all models being ordered with the new Subaru EyeSight system, and while close to two-thirds of the Forester models are equipped with the base 2.0-liter engine, the turbocharged Forester 2.0XT is the most popular individual trim level accounting for almost 40 percent of the orders out of four available trim levels. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues as more Foresters hit dealers, but this is definitely a good sign for the compact crossover right out of the gate.
There's a brief press release after the jump that gives a full breakdown of customer orders so far in Japan.

Subaru today announced a recall that affects 5,379 Legacy sedan and Outback wagon models in the United States. All of the affected 2013 model-year vehicles were built between February 15 and June 15 of 2012.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the inner and outer shafts of the steering column assembly may become disengaged from one another" in these vehicles. If that happens, the driver can lose the ability to steer the vehicle, which could obviously lead to all sorts of harmful things.
Subaru will notify owners of the problem, and affected models will have their steering columns replaced at dealerships, free of charge. Scroll down for the official NHSTA report.
