Hey guys, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Just took delivery on a new 50th Anniversary WRX last night. The color, wheels, and interior sold me and ended up getting to below the price most dealers were at for a Limited with the Harmon package - $35.9K out the door. Along with being new to Subaru, I'm new to turbo cars as well. I had a few questions I was hoping to get your insight on:
1.) The dealer told me there weren't hard/fast break-in procedures for the engine. I've read in other posts to keep it below 4K RPMs and no boost for the first 1K miles. Also, to keep at different RPMs/speeds on highways for that same time frame. Is that a good approach? Not gonna lie, I had some fun with it last night but nothing too crazy.
2.) I do most of my own maintenance on my vehicles, do you guys find the 16+ WRX rather easy to work on and maintain?
3.) Is there anything else I should know being new to the Subaru platform? I don't know about you guys but I feel like the Starlink infotainment system isn't as cool as I thought it'd be. I'm coming from an Acura, and even their tech seams to be a bit better than this.
Looking forward to learning and contributing here. The Mazda forum I was on for my Mazda was a great experience, hope the same here. :wave:
