Switched to the Darkside

As many of you know, we have a 2011 A3 TDI that we are selling back to VW for the dieselgate scandal. We both really like the car, but the offer we are getting is more than we paid for it 3.5 almost 4 years ago!! So we are kicking it too the curb.

So in light of this I picked up a new car a week or so ago to replace the A3, and add a little more fun in to our garage.

I got a really good deal on a 2017 Subaru WRX Premium. It was just received by the dealer so it only had 4 miles on it, so we know it wasn't beaten on during test drives. We decided to switch up the color and try something new this time, white! It has a few options, heated cloth seats, sunroof, 18" wheels, auto dimming mirror.

I am still breaking it in, but so far I am happy with it. It handles well, not too bumpy but still fun. Turbo spools really quick. It reminds me of driving an updated version of an Evo IX. The interior is much improved, with screens and fit and finish. It also has a much better crash test rating! It is about the same weight as an IX and has about 15 less hp.

So we'll see how it goes on the dark side, it should be a fun car to drive around. I don't have any crazy modifications planned for now. Keep it stock and enjoy driving it with a warranty. I have some ideas for improving the stereo, and a few other minor things.



Before getting cleaned up and with the summer wheels on it still.
