New 2013 CBS WRX - 4-door - Thoughts on day three

**Tarostar** · 11-18-2012 05:55 PM

I picked my car up from an out of state dealer on Friday. My original order wasn't due in until January or February, but I lucked out and found a very similar car while searching dealer inventories. The drive home was pretty long, but I made a lot of stops and took back roads to ease her in. After a weekend of driving, I can honestly say this is the most fun car I have ever driven. The only car that has come close for me was my 1994 SVX. I haven't been disappointed with anything about the car except for the underwhelming stereo. The car handles beautifully, shifts smoothly, and is very quick. I'm lucky enough to live in a rural area with curvy roads, and I'm a few hours away from the mountains in Western North Carolina. I'm already planning a trip in the next month or two. The SPT cat-back makes the car sound so pretty, but I'm worried that I'm pissing off my neighbors. I'm doing my best to drive out quietly, but it is still loud. Definitely pleased with my purchase though.

Options/Accessories:
Deck lid spoiler
SPT cat-back exhaust
Fog lights
Wheel locks
Extending arm rest

Planned upgrades:
New stereo head unit, possibly speakers
I like the existing shifter so far, but I may feel the need to go aftermarket
I want to avoid voiding the warranty, so I'm not sure what else to consider

Congrats on the new car, got mine last month still only have 700 miles on it but love it everytime I get to drive it.

Glad you're liking it. I agree on the stereo although I find myself listening to the boxer rumble more than the stereo. you could look into tint and rally armor mudflaps. Flaps really keep the car cleaner from rain and road debris
