You obviously don't have full glass coverage on your auto insurance.

Unfortunately for me I do have the higher tier windshield (heated wipers) and that is a crazy expensive replacement cost. What makes it even worse is your price was USD, I'm gonna have to pay in CDN...

In ND I can't get glass coverage. My windshield was like 530 for a Guardian brand installed. Me 250, insurance the rest.

Probably my last post in this topic, since as of today I am a former 2012 Impreza owner (premium, 5 door). Fret not, I upgraded, and there's a nice shiny 2015 WRX Premium quietly snoozing in my garage tonight to take it's place!
So time for a little recap... Total miles on car - 47071 Miles with fuel data - 46759.1 Total fuel consumption - 1801.527 gallons Net gas mileage - 25.96 mpg Mileage has been dropping yearly since my original purchase in late May 2012. Started off at 26.98 mpg for 2012, was 26.36 mpg for 2013, was 25.51 mpg for 2014, and ending with 22.95 mpg for 2015. I'll offer a few disclaimers, as I don't believe my mileage is as good as it could be for several reasons. My daily commute, a mix of country roads, stop and go city streets, and interstate driving was only 8 miles one way - hard for the car to get warmed up sufficiently. Balance of mileage was typically high speed interstate driving, another known gas mileage killer. Winter blend gasoline, ethanol in the gas, low temperatures (Syracuse, NY) and this car do not appear to get along well when you are trying to optimize gas mileage, and the short commute was a double whammy in this case. I also believe I was driving a bit more agressively as time went on - heavier on the gas, and less concerned over maximizing gas mileage. Under certain conditions -- 50-60 mph, summer driving, country roads -- the car delivered mileage that met or exceeded the sticker numbers. Repair costs were minimal, oil changes every 7500 miles, tire rotations every 5000-6000 miles, air filter changes as necessary. Biggest cost was a set of tires, replaced prematurely due to unrepairable tire damage to one OEM tire around 19,000 miles. Brake pads were getting close to needing replacement at the time I traded in. In the end, would I have purchased this car, knowing what I know now? Most certainly. Fuel costs were certainly higher than anticipated, but that's a function of the conditions I was driving under. Trade in value was a bit lower than anticipated, however two minor accidents disqualified the car from being a certified used vehicle, and likely the upcoming brake work also impacted the number. Overall, the car did what it needed to do with no major issues, phenomenal go in the snow (once the right tires were on it), and reliability that was top shelf. I would have kept the car longer or bought another Impreza, had I not wanted to upgrade to a WRX. |

Hmmmm I don't believe my insurance has a deductible on the glass coverage ( kemperdirect ) and it was like $12 extra per 6 months. Def worth it when you have the heated windshield. You guys have me thinking I'll have to check again Congrats CNy12owner on the new WRX dude and nice write up. Best of luck |

I also bought a set of cables from this guy on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/181622495649 He's an awesome guy, really nice and very helpful. Last edited by pkL; 05-02-2015 at 02:49 PM. |
