I got rid of my Xterra and got...
Bought a brand new 2010 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport. I love it. It will fit my needs perfectly, plus get a lil better mpg.
It was sweet, they had to unwrap it for me, like a present. ppl looked at my funny cuz i test drove it with it partially still wrapped up.
I took my time and thought about it a lot, it was a hard decision, but i have no regrets. I looked around at Audi's, but the deal I got on this car was perfect, plus it fits my needs perfectly, surf / snow / better mpg than my X or the allroad I had before the X
First wash... gotta detail it asap.
My plans for the OBS:
-Springs (the OBS sits just a hint higher than the base impreza/wrx, they did that for a slight improvement on ground clearance) so I wanna find some springs, possibly WRX springs, not that the car looks bad as it is, and I like the extra clearance for the snow when it comes, but putting it down to WRX level, which is prolly a 0.5 inch?? I haven't researched yet would be sweet. A family friend is a die hard subie addict, he has a sick WRX and is in very tight (was going to go in with them but **** happened) with what was PDX tuning, name changed, but they are in Portland Or. A huge Subie mod club/company, so ill go there and see what can be done, idk yet. worth looking into.
-Stereo. Had kenwood DDX514 in X, gunna stay with Kenwood for this car, I love them. Plus, the Focals I got for my X that I never got around to installing, will fit in this car (6.5 components in front, coax in rears)
-tint windows
-3m paint protection
-hood bug deflector
-Since the car is two tone, I want to find wheels that match the Dark Gray Metallic. would look sick.

Eh. The price on this was much better. Plus if I ever get an A3, I want TDI... But whats the point of driving an audi with FWD... Nothing, its just an overpriced VW! haha..
#6
yeah wtf on the A3 bro? i gotta admit i like the way those things handle though. do you have the power control for rear and front? i say drop it and go either gold wheels or black. i hate those tail lights though, ugh.
#7
No power control for diff's. Well, the plan is to put lowering springs in, tint windows, possible powdercoat wheels (or buy new) black or gret to match the trim, and then look into smoked tails so match the heads.
#9
yea i've thought about that too... I like the idea of smoked with the rest of the car being darker tones, but... that chrome strip that connects the tail lights and houses the Subaru emblem is kind of a problem, it would be hard to put smoked and that strip side-by-side.
Red would look sick. I do like the LED's though. I think they look slick. Just not so sure about the clear. With the current wheel color, and the silver trim pieces on the front, rear, and door handles, the clears look fine, but darkening the car up, it might look odd, we'll see...Gotta do some picture shopping and see what I like
