Default Made the switch (to Subaru)

Well .. it's been a long time since I've visited this site, but after many hondas I have made the switch to Subaru. Picked up a 2013 WRX a few weeks ago. Still have love for the honda/acura family, so I thought I'd share my new toy.

2013 WRX, completely stock, 17k miles (Certified Subaru)

Hope you have a cherry picker... You're going to need one to change the spark plugs.

(haha) Strange first reply, but appreciate the advice. I think I'll be ok without one. ;-)

I had one and it was a nightmare to work on (compared to Hondas), thus here I am, back in Hondas. However, mine had a 2.5L, so maybe that's why I couldn't get the plugs out.

Nice car, any plans for it?
As for changing plug it was so easy about 20 min a side.
The rest is like most Japanese cars.

such fantastic cars. Where I live the snow can get nasty, and the subies always conquer.

Enjoy it.

Definitely. It still has that "newness" to it, so I'm going to wait a little more before I open the flood gates...

I actually live in FL, so no snow, but it is nice to accelerate from a dead stop in the rain without any wheel spin! Also, nice to be able to park in sandy/beach areas and not have to worry.

I actually looked at the hatch (in that same color too), but got a better deal on the current one. I absolutely love the body style of the 11-14 and these things just feel so solid!!
