I bought this car brand new for basic transportation. I talked my wife into taking a look at the STi, but she didn't care for the racer appearance. The salesman said "We do have a Limited edition in the back, if you want to take a look." I had heard of the Limited, but they were so scarce that I never thought I'd get a shot at one. Obviously the wife and I both loved it, and we bought it on the spot. The salesman almost got into a fight with another one there at the dealership because the other guy claimed to have a customer coming the next day to buy it. My salesman said "Look, these people are here now, they're paying full sticker, it's my sale." And that was how we snagged this baby.

It has been the best car in terms of day to day practicality plus performance, but I need to pull some kayaks and it no longer fits out needs. It has never been raced or wrecked, everything is all original, even the cold air intake is an SPT item. The interior is cherry when you consider the mileage and no computer reprogramming has been done. No suspension mods either, and the muffler is original as well. I had the center differential replaced and the trans disassembled and fluid changed in 2010 at 79K miles, under warranty. Brake fluid was changed in 2011. Slotted rotors got added in 2012 along with FEAL Suspension STi front and rear struts. March of this year I replaced two of the tires because of a single flat. There is good tread on the two older tires, and all are Rotella F106 225/45R17 94W XL tires. There's an extra if you want it, and I have the original factory air intake and wipers for you resto nuts. I replaced the air splitter (it's about parking lot barrier height unfortunately) and repainted the rear spoiler as it was fading, just this month. I've always used synthetic oil, by the way.

Personally I hate auctions with a reserve so high that it becomes a joke, so I will give you the punch line early: it's a dollar! My reserve/price is fair market value based on the NADA guides for this specific car and my knowledge of its rarity. Only 800 units of the STi Limited were made in 2007. Go figure how many are still on the road. If you want a Limited that's been maintained impeccably by an adult and has never seen abuse, then this is the car for you. I have to warn you though, serious inquiry's only. It is for sale locally, so first to pay in full will get it even if it is prior to the auctions end date. As far as pick up or shipping, that's your responsibility. I will make every effort to be there if you send a shipper, but local pickup is preferred.

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86

Sun, 10 Feb 2013

Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.

Subaru to drop industrial products, focus on making cars

Mon, Oct 2 2017

Subaru, the company formerly known as Fuji Heavy Industries, said Monday it is ceasing production of its industrial products after more than 60 years in order to focus on its core automotive business. The change was effective Sept. 30. "By concentrating management resources on Subaru's core automotive business, the company will further reinforce its business structure in the aim of substantially enhancing the Subaru brand and achieving even greater sustainable growth," the company said in a statement. The move appears to mark the culmination of a steady retrenchment from its industrial business. Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. last year announced it was changing its name to Subaru Corp. in order to strengthen the brand and focus on its core automotive and aerospace business. It also moved to integrate its Industrial Products Company within Subaru's automotive business effective Oct. 1, 2016. Subaru is a Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster, and it symbolizes the six companies that merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries in 1953. Subaru's aerospace division is a contractor for the Japan Defense Agency. The automaker's industrial products business began in 1951 when its former Omiya Fuji Industries Co. Ltd. began production of the 540 cc M6 engine. Subaru says its Industrial Products Co. Ltd. affiliate will continue to handle after-sales service of Subaru-built generators, pumps and engines used in construction, agriculture and industrial equipment. The company also says it will cease manufacturing engines for installation in other vehicles as supply contracts expire. Meanwhile, Subaru is busy reorganizing its plant in Lafayette, Ind., to begin production of the Ascent, a three-row, eight-passenger crossover based on its Viziv-7 concept that debuted late last year.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
