2015 WRX
« on: October 29, 2014, 09:46:55 pm »
After much deliberation I finally decided to go for the Subaru WRX. I really wanted a sporty 4 door car, looked at Audi S3, BMW 3 series and the GTI but in the end the WRX is really the best bang for the buck. Also i'm super glad I opted for the manual trans. (1st manual for me!) because it is hoot to drive.

The stock wheels (17") have become my winter setup since I have already purchased 18" wheels which will get the summer tires next spring. The summer wheels are actually the previous generation STi wheels which I like a lot. After having the car for a couple weeks we took a trip to Toronto and I am impressed with the mileage. I know the onboard l/100KM isn't always the most accurate but over 1100km trip I got around 6.5l/100km with winters on.

Trim: Sport-Tech

Anyways let's get on with the pics...

I am very jealous. VERY jealous.  >:( :'(

Congratulations!  ;D

I'm hoping Subaru will update the infotainment system next year like they did for the Legacy, Crosstrek and Impreza.

Congrats!!  :cheers:

I'll PM you an Ottawa tire shop you can call for a quote when you're looking for tires.  It's run by an MCO driving instructor who's fanatical about cars and has invested a lot in a touchless tire changer and very nice balancer.  A lot of members of the local FR-S/BRZ club go there and they're quite discerning about where they service their cars.

Niiiiice!!!   :thumbup:

WRX is very high on my list too.  Between that and a 228/235... have to determine if the price premium is worth it...
I guess this is what the AIO is for?   ;D

It's funny, just doesn't help me understand why the WRX is better than an S3 to a buyer ;)

No manual in the S3? 3 series too expensive and bloated these days? Both cost about 40% more than the WRX.

Congrats!! Awesome choice and really digging the colour. I haven't driven any of the cars you were shopping but the WRX really does seem like tremendous value for the enthusiast. Here's to many happy miles for ya  8)
