I have nothing against Subaru hatchbacks specifically, my issue is with designers of most hatchbacks in general (ie. those that can't be bothered to design some style to them, instead of making them look like scaled down SUVs). |

headlight armour also makes a lovely fog light protection kit for our cars in gt yellow
http://www.headlightarmor.com/12-13-...ction-kit.aspx now to averagewhiteboy 5spd is moderately faster than cvt and if you wanted fast well, you know adding the aero splash guards, spoiler, and front underspoiler are for looks, you can also throw on some rally mudflaps as well. if you wanted noise you can always replace your muffler with something louder, there is a thread about this search function will get you there. Springs you can be our crash test victim for that one. save the money on the oem kicker and just replace the headunit with a nice pioneer, if its still not up to your liking then replace speakers with ones with more punch. still cheaper that buying the kicker and etc. |

^ Thanks! Yes, obviously the cosmetics are only for that - cosmetic. Mostly just going looks on this car. But I did find the exhaust thread, and made another about any performance options on this platform (intake, etc). If no one buys the H&R's (or anything else) by Summer, then I suppose I'll be the forums first lowered 12/13 Impreza. haha

getting my car back this week from the shop since the accident....can't wait to have it back. Tired of driving this crappy mazda 3 rental. horrible gas mileage on the mazda 3 FYI...worse than our car for those complaining about the MPG on our car.

What year is the Mazda 3? For some reason, I am going to have to call you out and say you are over exaggerating everything.

If you see this it's definitely me (the wife can't drive a stick): Come to our meets at Quaker Steak and Lube in Robinson on the first Wednesday of each month (this month's is on the 6th). As for an exhaust, talk to the guys at Moore Performance Parts in Bridgeville, they are good guys and have already made a new gen Impreza exhaust. You should be able to swap one on without a tune. I wouldn't even bother with an intake. The rear sway bar from the current gen STI fits the new Imp. The wheels from pretty much any subaru (except an STi) will fit your car. As for stereo, I'm not much of an audiophile so I'm no help there. |

I have no reason to exaggerate, i am not saying the impreza is the best car in the world, so i have nothing to gain. in fact i was looking to buy a mazda 6 before settling on the impreza and sort of glad i did bc the interior feels cheap on the Mazda 3 and even the buttons to operate the windows are oddly placed higher up on the arm rest, i always move the back windows thinking its the driver side. Not sure if its CVT but i can feel the shift...I had rental at 5k miles on it, so unless the previous renters drove the crap out of it, i don't like the way the tranny moves if its a CVT.

I could see the little plastic plug (used to reach the disengagement for the auto trans lever) was missing, so they rented us a turd that someone had already trashed. I probably could have gotten better mileage but the a/c was on full bore all the time (we were in Florida in July) and I drove it like a rental. If you drive an impreza like that, it would return crappier mileage as well. I'm easier on my own car and my mileage reflects it. |

was testing my LED's tonight for brightness, i ordered these 2 types
1. 15 degree angle, 2400mcd this one will be used for the overhead ambient lighting. I ordered 2 but 1 will be plenty bright enough. 2. 120 degree angle, 1200mcd i ordered 8 of these, but I will only be using: 1 per footwell, 1 in the cubby under the radio, 1 per door cubby, total of 5. I wasn't sure of the brightness when ordering, but now I do. pics will come when I am done. |

If you think the Mazda 3 is bad you should try the 2013 Hyundai Tucson more plastic than the impreza extra extra cheap ****ty faux leather seats small gas tank and this thing dumps fuel like nobody's business no matter how kind I drove it. Car had only 2k on it also beware of electrical bugs especially with head unit and auto headlights

Fuelly has '13 average at 26.4 mpg for Impreza: http://www.fuelly.com/car/subaru/impreza Look at model year '12 and the 3.5 million miles combined. Something does not compute with what you are claiming. Sorry. |

Not if it is a rental, with 5 people in it, A/C full blast, and being driven like a stolen car (if the people before me beat it, I wasn't gonna feel left out!).
Honestly, I would never buy a former rental car. I think the problem with some peoples mileage is they drive their impreza the way I flogged that rental... |
