2009 Subaru WRX 265

I went to Home Depot this Sun with the fam, wanted to buy some cleaner. We walk in, how do you quickly find the cleaner? You ask one of the workers. We get our marching orders, and on our way we go. Then we saw that the Home Depot is selling these tiny lime trees. COOL, we pick one up, and thought hey its tree planting season!!! Before you now it, an Apple Tree, a Cherry Tree, and on we go, before you know it, we have a few items in the cart, and no cleaner yet.

How do we get these trees home + 4 passengers?

I have a bad habit, when I drive, i keep my right hand on the gear shift.  But lately and maybe I imagining things, I noticed that while i am driving, the gear just pops out of 4th gear, and i find myself in neutral, with a nice rev

Does this happen to you?

Where does the time go, it has been 6 month since I got my WRX 265, and I thought it will be fun to do a review. I was thinking, I will give this car a grade, you know how fancy car magazines say this car is an A or a B or a D. And so here is the grade a B+

The ride: A+

This car is fast, do not buy this car if you are in the market for a slow Sunday stroll, this car wants to go, and will go. I am shocked that I dont have more speeding tickets. The ride is tight, Subaru did an amazing job with this car. The seats are comfy, the handling is perfect, the AWD is also awesome. BUT again, the speed, man o man

Subaru: A -

Even though i had some issues, the dealership i deal with where great, I have to say that they treated me fairly and well. Except for that horrible survey they sent out, and there not so great road side assistance program. So far my dealing with Subaru has not been painful, and that is more that i can ask from any dealership

Interior: B-

Dont get me wrong, the car is nice, and they did and excellent job with the dash. But the car can use a few fixes. For example:

The sound system is sub par

The Mechanics: D+

That is expected, what can i say, a blown engine. I mean I wont give them such a bad mark if I was the only one, but i am not, there are a lot of people out there with bad engines, so something is off, and Subaru needs to fix it

Overall the car is great, a lot of fun, and real fast. Do I love it, YES. Would I buy it again, YES.

WRX owners, do you agree, was I fair in my assessment?

It did not hit me until this week, i was driving, and needed to clean off my window. I hit the spray button and nothing. I thought hey, wait a min, does the WRX come with a warning light that tells you when the water levels are low? It does not look like it, i pulled up and filled up the tank and off I went.

Those sensors are cheap to install, most cars have them, why the WRX does not is beyond me. Anyone know if there is a good reason why Subaru thinks a low water level warning is a bad idea?
