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.

 

2.0, 2.5, doesn't matter, it's the same **** under the hood.

 

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.

 

nice car, ive got a 2011 wrx hatch, had for about a year and a half love it so far and you'll really love yours too. Only mods ive done is an Invidia downpipe and perrin exhaust, sounds really good

 

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!!

 

I'm with ya man..
