- Non-smoking and no pets
- Clean title with no accidents
- Well maintained with full service history. 
- Koni and STI suspension and brake parts
- Many fresh maintenance items

In great mechanical condition and ready for immediate service. I'm a mechanical engineer with plenty of auto experience and I do all the maintenance myself. I can answer any questions or show you the underside of the car (I've got a lift).

======FEATURES======
- Heated seats, mirrors, and windshield wipers
- 6CD changer with premium audio. Previous owner installed an AUX in line so you can play from your phone or music player. 
- Subaru roof rack, Yakima roof rack attachment is available for single bike mount
- Front side airbags (torso and head) - only on XT for this year
- ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution front-to-back
- Standard cloth floor mats and another set of rubber all-weather Subaru mats (including trunk)

======THE LONG VERSION=======

First owner bought in Baltimore and did all required service at the Owings Mills dealership. Sold to me around 62k miles all stock. 

I did the following work and modifications:

- STI brake booster and master cylinder
- WRX/ Saab 9-2x steering rack (faster steering ratio and linear instead of progressive). Installed with new urethane rack bushings
- STI rear sway bar with STI endlinks
- Koni yellow adjustable sport dampers with STI springs (adjustable rebound)
- Continental DWS tires with plenty of tread left. D, W, and S letters still showing on all tires.
- Transmission and differential fluids Subaru synthetic Extra-S
- Regular oil changes with synthetic and Wix oil filters. 
- Always premium gas.
- Mishimoto intercooler hoses and all aluminum fully welded radiator
- Morimoto HID bixenon projector retrofit (not just xenon bulbs put into stock housing). Yellow/white 4300k bulbs, not purple or blue.

New Parts within the last 1000 miles:
- 2 front CV axles
- 2 front ball joints
- left tie rod
- New drivers window motor
- new battery
- repaired leaking A/C line - fresh recharge

At ~85k miles the turbo bearings began to give out, but was caught quickly. I removed the stock oil screens in the feed line and installed a good used WRX turbo. There is a small exhaust leak at the wastegate linkage pivot pin that causes the turbo to be audible as it spools (think WRC car). This will not cause any mechanical issues, CEL, etc because is on the exhaust side and downstream from the turbine

Also replaced gaskets,  oil drain tube, radiator hoses, and intercooler tubes with Mishimoto silicone tubes.

Currently the only known issue I can think of is a subtle thumping noise at low speeds. It sounds like a CV axle so recently I replaced the front axles, but the problem did not go away. I have driven it like this for over 1.5 years and it has always been fine and it is safe. I also checked over all suspension an drivetrain components and everything feels tight with no slop or play. Unfortunately I don't have any more time to diagnose it further.

2020 Subaru Legacy, Outback earn IIHS safety picks

Thu, Nov 28 2019

The redesigned 2020 Subaru Legacy sedan and Outback wagon both earned kudos from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but the news was not equally good for both models. The Legacy sedan walked away with the highest award, Top Safety Pick+. The Outback was one rung down, a Top Safety Pick. Sadly for the Outback, the previous, 2019 model had nabbed the TSP+ score. Why the difference in the Legacy and Outback? In a word: headlights. The IIHS structures their awards around several elements: crash tests, crash-avoidance systems, and headlights. Both Subarus aced their crash tests, earning Good results for the entire battery of tests (small and moderate front overlap on both sides, roof crush, side-impact, and head-restraints). Their standard EyeSight accident-avoidance automated emergency braking systems also performed well, successfully avoiding crashes at 12 and 25 mph, netting Superior ratings. (The pedestrian-detection function similarly earned a Superior rating, although pedestrian detection doesn't count toward the IIHS total score.) Headlights have to earn a Good rating in order for a car to qualify for TSP+; headlights deemed merely Acceptable limit a car to a maximum TSP award. Headlights that are Marginal or lower knock a car out of TSP contention. The Legacy's optional curve-adaptive headlights were deemed Good, while those same headlights in the Outback were only Acceptable, resulting in the different awards for the two models. For both cars, the base headlights also were Acceptable, meaning either model with the standard headlights would be a TSP (except that the IIHS grants a single model only its higher-level award).

Subaru provides first glimpse at upcoming Forester STI

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Have you been patiently awaiting an STI version of the Subaru Forester? Your wait may be over soon, good friend, as teaser images of just such a vehicle have surfaced online.
Set to debut on November 25, the 2015 Subaru Forester STI will reportedly feature more aggressive aero and cooling, upgraded rolling stock and brakes, and Subaru Tecnica International's signature bright-blue paint and red accents.
What we don't know is what will provide the motivation. There's a pretty big gap at present between the 250 horsepower offered in the top-of-the-line Forester 2.0XT and the 305-hp WRX STI, and we don't know where along the spectrum the Forester STI might fall. Nor do we know, for that matter, if it'll be offered Stateside. But we're looking forward to finding out.

2019 Subaru Crosstrek Buying Guide | Specs, safety, and expert reviews

Thu, Nov 8 2018

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is in its second generation, based on the fifth-generation Impreza platform, and was completely redesigned for the 2018 model year. The popular crossover is Subaru's third-best-selling model after the Outback and the Forester, and it received subtle updates, a more rugged appearance and some new technology for the new model year. Every Crosstrek comes standard with roof rails and alloy wheels with a machined finish and black-painted accents. Those wheels are available in either 17- or 18-inch sizes. The body sits atop a raised suspension that brings ground clearance up to an impressive 8.7 inches over the Impreza's 5.1 inches. Only the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk comes close to matching that clearance in this SUV segment. Three trim levels are offered: 2.0i, 2.0i Premium, and 2.0i Limited. All models can be equipped with an optional CVT. The base and Premium trims can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission. With this buyer's guide, Autoblog aims to help you make an educated decision about whether to buy the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. We'll include safety and reliability ratings, engine specs, fuel economy ratings and pricing. We'll also summarize what Autoblog's professional reviewers think of the Crosstrek. Is the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2019 Crosstrek a five-star overall rating, the highest possible. It gave it four stars for frontal crash protection, five stars for side crashes and four stars in its rollover crash tests. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety hasn't evaluated the 2019 model, but it's virtually identical to the 2018 Crosstrek that was given the best possible rating of Top Safety Pick+. It scores a "Good" (the highest possible rating) in all areas, including the notoriously difficult small offset frontal crash test. It gets a "Superior" for crash avoidance when equipped with the EyeSight driver assist technology, and its optional headlights (when so equipped) give it the highest possible overall rating. We encourage you to visit the NHTSA and IIHS websites to review ratings on the specific vehicle you're researching. Is the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek reliable? Subarus are generally known for their reliability and longevity, and indeed, the company cites IHS Markit data that shows 97 percent of all Subarus sold in the past 10 years are still on the road. For third-party validation, we turn to J.D.
