2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS with 179k miles. Body has some small dents here and there and a hole in the spoiler but looks good overall. This was a Florida car so there is no rust.

Car is sold strictly as-is, Please read:

Runs and drives well except has an intermittent rough idle and wants to die at idle after warming up. Has excellent power but CEL flashes sometimes when at idle or low RPM's, though I felt no misfiring or jerkiness. Accelerates smoothly and goes through all gears perfectly. I do not know what's wrong with this car, it could need something minor or more major. I have driven it about 30 miles and it did not overheat or have any missing under load. After it warmed up it did seem to want to stall at idle such as when coming to a stop light. I do not know what's wrong with the engine at all so it is being sold for parts as-is. Will need to be towed. Though I think it could make a drive okay, I would have it towed for peace of mind.

Now with all that being said, I know that the heat and the a/c work great, the tires are in very good shape, the brakes and e-brake work wonderfully. The steering is smooth and tight, the suspension is good aside from a very slight knock over bumps. The interior has wear on the driver seat and floor mainly, but is otherwise good. Power windows and mirrors work fine. The cruise light flashes and the cruise is non-functional. Also no radio is currently installed. The car will come with the currently installed snow tires only.
As said, this car does need work. To what extent I just don't know. I have taken a few 30 minute rides with it and the first time it seeme to want to stall at idle, the second time it just exhibited a bit of a low idle at stops. I'm not a mechanic so I'd rather just sell it and let someone else figure it out.

Vehicle can be picked up in either North Kingstown, RI 02852 or Mystic, CT 06355
I can be reached at 860-245-8040 if you have any questions or would like to take a look at the car.

Subaru rolls out BRZ Premium Sports Edition in Japan [w/poll]

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

The Subaru BRZ is many things: fun, affordable, communicative... but premium is not one of them. Yet that is precisely more of that upscale look and feel Subaru is going for with its new BRZ Premium Sports Edition.
Thus far exclusive to the Japanese Domestic Market, the BRZ Premium Sports Edition upgrades the standard model with unique 17-inch alloys and an interior spruced up with two-tone black and tan leather, along with contrast-stitched Alcantara trim for the instrument cluster, center console and door panels. There's also a set of aluminum pedals, metal and carbon trim, black mirror housings and more.
The luxed-up model wears a sticker price of 3,034,500 yen, which translates to about $31k. That would make it about $6k more expensive than a base BRZ in the United States, but to put it into more relevant context, the upgrades represent a 241,500 yen ($2,450) premium over the top-spec BRZ Type S in Japan. Assuming Subaru could keep that price premium intact, do you think it would be wise to offer the BRZ Premium Sports Edition in North America? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.

2015 Subaru Legacy, Outback crash their way to IIHS Top Safety Pick+ ratings [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The Subaru Legacy and Outback are the latest vehicles to be awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most prestigious safety title, Top Safety Pick+.
As we've explained many times before, this only applies vehicles that can score an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating on the five IIHS crash tests and earn at least a "Basic" rating for crash prevention systems.
In the Legacy's case, it totally aced IIHS's testing, earning "Good" scores on the small overlap, front moderate overlap, side impact, roof crush and rear impact tests, while also bringing home the top "Superior" rating for its optional EyeSight system.

Subaru WRX STI prototype spied in motion

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

Earlier this week, we got all hot and bothered over a set of spy photos showing the next-generation Subaru WRX STI testing at the Nürburgring. And while pretty still shots of a camouflaged car are always nice to look at, stirring up lots of speculation, having video is even better. Good thing, then, that our trusty spies were on hand to get some rolling footage of that STI as it lapped the infamous German track.
Now, as a good majority of the comments on our previous post will point out, it looks like Subaru has dumbed down the design of that decidedly hot WRX Concept from New York for the road-going car. Of course, we need to wait until all that swirly paper is pulled off the body, but from what we can see here, it looks like this new 'Rex will be more akin to the current Impreza than we were originally led to believe.
So while we wait and hope that what's under the camouflage will be something sexy, have a look at the video below to watch the WRX STI prototype get worked out on the 'Ring.
