Congrats, nice looking WRX265. I do like the new look of the Imprezas and WRXs - so much nicer than the former ones.

Enjoy it.  :thumbup:

Great looking ride. ;D

I'm not normally fond of white but it looks great on the WRX. I've had a 2008 WRX for almost a year now and I'm sure you will really enjoy this car.

Did you have an opportunity to compare the improvements made to the 2009 WRX 265 with respect to the 2008 WRX? I'm interested in hearing how much difference the suspension, tire, and turbo changes have made.

Perhaps a chat with Snowman is in order as I'm sure he knows how to easily add 40+ more reasons for you to love your car ;-)

Congrats on your new ride.

Congrats as well. Agree with Ovr, very much a better external design than the original model.

Love the WRX...its a bit understated compared to the STI which I think is perfect.  It looks stunning in white as well!

Nicecar. I've always liked Subaru. Kind of in a league of their own. I'm have some envy,though. I see no snow in those pictures. We just came out of a bitterly cold start of last week[-41.5c] and today it is -9c and snowing hard.

Then you will have 300 reasons  :)


Edit:


I was mistaken, Stage 1 =305 and Stage 2 =313 on 91  ;D

You can remove the map at anytime. My dealer installed all my mods and warranty is not an issue.
