Default New Ride - 2009 Subaru WRX

Pardon the cell phone pics, literally just picked it up and it's raining here in Seattle.

2009 Subaru WRX Hatchback, Spark Silver Metallic, Dark Gray Interior.





Love the car, kinda basic compared to my 07 Acura MDX (which I traded in) but still a great all around car.

I like the enhancements Subaru made for the 09 model year, better handling, more power, etc. Once I get more time behind the wheel I'll post up a better review.

Thanks everyone! This is my first Subaru, and is2seattle, you're right, Seattle loves their Subarus. Also my first turbo, definitely could get used to this!

Congraglations.

Subies are often the way to go, in my book. PM me if you want or need the standard new-car break-in rules.




And get yourself a bottle of this. Wal-Mart has it cheap. It's great stuff, and will help keep the paint like new.
