I have the Rhino ramps, and really like them. Cheap, light, strong, and don't slip on the floor.

You really want it level for checking the oil. Im sure you can make due with it being tilted while its draining. Especailly if its being tilted in the direction of the oil drain hole.

W00T, I received my sedan spoiler and I got both discounts!
BTW, did you know that you have to drill 12 holes in your trunk to install this! I hope it looks good, cuz there is no going back for me! |

It may be an environmental issue. Subaru tends to be environmentally friendly when it comes to the production of vehicles. Paints and paint processes can be a factor with regards to that.

I'd love to see a Consumer Reports, or similar, do some paint endurance testing comparisons. I feel like Subaru would be at the bottom, even behind lower end Chevy/Fords. My brother just got a Hyundai and the paint looks/feels much thicker. While I'm talking paint, do they sell touch up paint for the wheels on the sport premium model? |

Congrats!
I want 2013 Impreza info already... I REALLY enjoyed the Base trim and I could see myself using an Impreza for a long time based on the gas mileage alone. My issue is practicality versus sportiness. I'm almost 28 and still single, so practicality isn't calling me THAT much. haha |

If anyone else is looking for oil to buy online I found this: https://www.shopthedude.com/prd.cl/PEK14070
Don't know much about Peak oils, but supposedly it's the proper specification that the manual calls for. Pretty good price for 6 quarts, have to pay shipping, but $13 seems reasonable. |

Thinking of trading my 2012 Impreza sport for a BRZ. I live near the Canadian Rockies so 6 months of winter and 6 months of wet and dry months. What do you guys think?

If it were me I'd get a wrx instead if I wanted a sportier car in that climate. I'm not real crazy about the Subyota BRZ anyway

I'd say only get the BRZ if have money to get a winter beater. If not, it's going to be really hard for you to get around in the winter. Some great roads up there!

I drove the BRZ and I have the Impreza. They are totally different cars. The Impreza is practical and the BRZ is ridiculously impractical. The trunk is very small and shallow and the backseat is non-usable. Since it snows in Colorado, if you don't have another car to drive in the snow, you would be very foolish to get the BRZ.

anyone with the seat back protectors in the hatch have rattling issues? i got mine installed last weekend, and hadn't driven my car since until yesterday, the middle section of the seat protectors isn't very secure and it rattles against the security cover. the 2 options i was thinking of:
1. more heavy duty velcro to secure the loose areas. 2. remove the security cover all together. anything else I could try? |
