My 2000 Subaru Outback has never been abused and was always in the care of either a Subaru dealer or a highly qualified Import Specialist with a great knowledge of these fine SUVs. Being a LIMITED edition, the car was delivered from the factory with an almost full load of options. The only 2 things that the car does not have are leather upholstery and a sun roof. the car has absolutelly no mechanical issues, maintenance is up to date - all the oils and filters were changed about 450 kms ago, including both differentials and the automatic transmission. At the same time the catalytic converters and related gaskets were replaced, using high quality Walker parts, covered by a 5 year warranty. Front and rear brakes were serviced, pads and rotors replaced, as well as the hand brake shoes and hardware. A new thermostat and gasket were installed, together with the necessary coolant replacement, as well as a new knock sensor was installed because the old one set intermittently a code and could not be considered reliable any more. Front and rear wiper blades were replaced and the front wiper linkeage was removed, cleaned and lubricated and re-installed. Every system on the car is working as intended by the factory, including the A/C and the heated front seats. The car comes equipped with factory floor mats and a factory trunk cover. On the roof is a factory luggage carrier. The windshield and the power mirrors are heated for added safety in the cold part of the year. The heater system can deal with the Canadian winter without any difficulties and the All Wheel Drive makes driving through the winter fun. There is a factory sound system in the car, featuring FM/AM/CD and Tape. The very stylish wood trim on the inside of the car makes one forget that under the hood this is one of the most reliable work horses, that anyone could ask for. I have the car advertised for sale in another venue as well and reserve the right to end this auction at any time. I will answer any questions, related to this auction, as promptly as possible by e-mail. Please do not ask"what is your reserve?"; it would not be right to disclose this information in an auction. I will make every effort to meet with interested parties at their convenience in the Halton Region and, once inspected in person, might consider a "sell it now offer".

Thank you for looking at my ad and GOOD LUCK BIDDING !

Subaru teasing new WRX S4 model ahead of Japanese debut

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

The Subaru WRX range is growing just a little bit larger, at least in Japan, with the automaker's teasing announcement of a new version called the S4. Unfortunately, the company is keeping details about its latest all-wheel drive sport sedan a closely guarded secret for the moment.
From what we can glean, it appears that the S4 might be a more luxurious take on the WRX. According to the release, the name stands for the four qualities that Subaru wants the sedan to have: "'Sports performance', 'Safety performance', 'Smart driving' and 'Sophisticated feel.'" As part of this focus, the car comes with the company's EyeSight camera system. Thankfully, we don't have too long to wait to find out what all of the buzz words actually mean because Subaru is unveiling the S4 on August 25 in Japan.
The automaker also launched a teaser website for the S4 that you can cheek out, here, but at the moment it doesn't provide any more details about the new sport sedan. The site just has countdown until the August reveal. There's also no indication yet whether this potentially more premium WRX could make it US shores. Scroll down to read the Subaru's rather concise teaser for the upcoming S4.

2015 Subaru WRX

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

Every time I drive a Subaru WRX, I wish one of my parents had taken some weird, top-secret spy job that would have forced us to relocate to Finland when I was a kid. I could have learned the art of rally-style car control as a young lad, and in my adult life, sought out a dangerous/rewarding/awesome career as a professional WRC driver.
Never was that more clear than on the launch program for the new 2015 WRX, where Subaru pointed us down a long, somewhat treacherous stretch of road in the tree-lined mountains of northern California. Quick elevation changes were met with blind turns and washed-out shoulders, not to mention rogue bits of snow, ice and gravel that lined the apexes of nearly every turn. Here, I couldn't stop grinning, my co-driver and I switching between second and third gears, with precise steering inputs and judicious braking keeping us safely on the road and not plummeting nose-first into the trees. And the WRX simply devoured each inch of pavement with a ferocious poise that made me remember why I have loved this car so darn much.
But this sort of 100 Acre Wood perfection isn't the only way to experience Subaru's darling WRX. After a long stint of driving back down the California coast on Highway 1, I realized that Subaru's line about this being the best-driving WRX yet wasn't just a bunch of PR mumbo-jumbo. Of course, it isn't without a few compromises...

Subaru XV runs over dog in Russian ad, but in a funny way

Sat, 26 Apr 2014

In case you're wondering, no, the woman didn't actually hit the dog. This is just a commercial, and a fairly clever one after you get over the perceived canicide, that's meant to show off the desirability of Subaru's lifted Impreza wagon, the XV Crosstrek.
We'll try not to spoil it for you, because it is a fairly humorous piece, but you have to make sure to watch it from start to finish. The found-footage angle of it, which sort of presents it with the same quality as a Russian dashcam video, just adds to the video's ridiculous premise.
We aren't sure if this is an actual ad from the Russian arm of Subaru, as it seems to be posted from an independent account with only one video to its credit. Still, have a look below, and let us know what you think.
