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. |

Toyota 86 most likely to get more power through more displacement? [w/poll]
Wed, 21 Aug 2013The Sydney Morning Herald has spoken to Tetsuya Tada, chief engineer of the Toyota 86 (our version of it, the Scion FR-S, is pictured above), and they've been promised that more power is on the way. We've heard a lot of speculation about a more powerful Toyobaru since before the standard model was even launched. The only question now is how the power will be delivered, and among the engine concepts we've already heard about - turbo, supercharger, twin-charged, hybrid - is a new one: more displacement.
Tada said that an engine with more displacement than the current coupe's 2.0 liters is being tested alongside a turbocharged and a hybrid-assisted motor. The SMH cites "inside sources" as saying the displacement option is the one likely to get the go-ahead, and suggests increased bore and stroke will see the engine grow to 2.5 liters, horsepower to about 250 - a 50-hp increase over the present car.
While that's apparently the betting man's solution for the long-awaited increase in gumption, what happens with the next generation could be more wide open than we suspected. According to the report, Tada "hinted that [a successor] could be a radically different car, potentially dropping the boxer engine altogether." He said once they've sorted out the concept for the second generation car, then they'll sort out an engine. That's where a turbo option could come to market, perhaps the turbocharged four-cylinder Toyota is developing for the Lexus NX crossover or a hybrid system that uses a capacitor.
The refreshed 2018 Subaru WRX starts at $27,855
Thu, Apr 20 2017Subaru has always staggered the release of new versions of the WRX and STI performance twins from that of the more pedestrian Imprezas. While the latter just received a ground-up redesign for 2017, the once and future kings of all-wheel-drive performance sedans make do with some new options and massaged over styling. Pricing for the new cars, which go on sale sometime in the next few months, has finally been announced. Pricing for the pair is on the high-side of the competition. The 2018 Subaru WRX starts at $27,855. That nets you a 2.0-liter turbocharged boxer four-cylinder making 268 horsepower, a six-speed manual, and Subaru's symmetrical all-wheel drive with torque vectoring. For comparison, the Ford Focus ST starts at $25,650 while the Volkswagen GTI starts at $26,415. Pricing for the new Honda Civic Si hasn't been announced, but expect it to be somewhere in the mid $20,000 range. Stepping up to the STI will set you back at least $36,955, though you get a more powerful 305-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged boxer four and a more advanced version of Subaru's all-wheel-drive system. Plus, you get the big rear wing, and that's worth it's weight in Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution owner tears. The far more powerful Ford Focus RS meets the STI dollar for dollar at $36,955 while the Volkswagen Golf R retails for an eye-watering $40,195. Like the Civic Si, pricing for the Civic Type R has yet to be revealed. Both the WRX and STI get updated styling on the front bumper, with larger grilles and new black trim. Additionally, the $32,455 WRX Limited and all STI models feature new LED headlights. The STI also gets new 19-inch wheels and upgraded Brembo brakes. The WRX Premium has an optional $2,050 performance pack that adds Recaro seats with an 8-way power driver's seat, red-painted brake calipers with Jurid brake pads, and deletes the moonroof to reduce weight. Other changes include the latest version of Subaru's Starlink infotainment system, a larger infotainment screen, new EyeSight driver assist features (only on CVT-equipped WRX models), upgraded sound deadening, and upgraded interior materials. Both models receive new roof rack mounting brackets. Look for the 2018 Subaru WRX and 2018 Subaru STI to hit showrooms in the next few months. Related Video:
2018 Subaru BRZ tS Drivers' Notes | Wings and things
Wed, Aug 15 2018It's a little hard to believe the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 (formerly the Scion FR-S) are entering their seventh model year. Both cars debuted back in 2012 and, save for a minor update last year, the cars remain unchanged. Power still comes from a 205-horsepower naturally-aspirated flat-four. That's not a lot on paper, but it's decent enough for a car that comes in under 2,900 pounds. This particular test car is one of just 500 tS special editions coming to the U.S. In addition to the wing, side skirts and wheels, the tS gets Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires, Brembo brakes, Sachs dampers and STI strut braces. It makes the tS the sharpest and best-performing BRZ in the car's seven-year run. You do pay for the extra kit, and if it's not your thing, you can still get a pretty well-equipped car for around $30,000. Editor-in-chief Greg Migliore: I sought out errands on the other side of town during my weekend in the BRZ tS. It's a blast in a way only some enthusiasts will love. The heavy steering, the low-to-the-ground profile, the rock-hard chassis — take your protein pills, man. This isn't something you want to drive when your back hurts or you're slightly hungover. No it's not a '90s Viper, and you don't need goggles and gloves, but in this era of high-horsepower SUVs with sanitized comfort modes, you need to show up with your reflexes sharp to master the BRZ, especially in track-tuned tS trim. Not every enthusiast will want this. A muscled-up Mustang or Challenger might be a better bet for long commutes on straight roads, while this Subie demands you meet its needs on something open and with a twist. It's fun. But it's intense. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Not surprisingly, a pair of braces to stiffen the chassis, stiffer springs over Sachs dampers, big Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires on lightweight 18-inch wheels all conspire to make the tS the best Subaru BRZ I've ever driven. There's an aggressive body kit, too, but my time with the tS was limited to some fun runs on public roads, so I never hit the speeds where you'd really experience the aero benefits. Thing is, boosting the car's at-the-limit handling abilities really serves as a reminder that the engine isn't all that powerful. It's the same exact 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer that powers every other BRZ. These days, 205 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque feels decidedly uninspired, particularly at the tS's asking price of $34,355.
