Replying to: rsholland (Nov 01, 2008 8:30 am) OK, now do I get to congratulate you on the new ride? Very nice Bob. I'm a bit jealous as I am one of the few who actually really like the new WRX hatch. That and the fact Subaru seems to have made them quite the little rocket ship. Enjoy! Replies to this message: rsholland (Nov 03, 2008 5:39 am)

Replying to: goneskiian (Nov 02, 2008 11:03 pm) Thanks. Actually most Impreza buyers prefer the 5-door, as it is outselling the 4-door model, or at least doing much better than SOA had originally expected. Bob

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 02, 2008 1:32 pm) and how does it do in 6th?.......... oh... seriously though, the car sounds fantastic. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get past the 18/25 EPA estimates when the time comes, though. Not for a daily driver, anyways.

Replying to: lucien2 (Nov 03, 2008 5:10 pm) Well—if I had planned for this—I probably would have waited for a 6th gear to have been available—but that didn't happen... Watch, it will probably happen for the 2010 MY. Hey Loosh, if you're concerned about the mileage—don't even think of test-driving a new WRX, as you'll be hopelessly won over! I'll be watching the gas mileage, as I did with my old one. My '06 model never got under 21 mpg, and I checked it every time I filled up. The new car has a mpg indicator hooked into the trip meters. I'm going to compare that with the old fashioned way and see what the results are. I expect about the same, maybe a tad less. We'll see...

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 04, 2008 5:54 am) trust me, I remember from the FXT. that go-pedal was like crack. I couldn't help myself...I don't think my mileage was ever OVER 21 mpg!

Replying to: rsholland (Nov 04, 2008 5:54 am) The trip computer in our Forester is a bit optimistic - by about 1mpg or so. Still, you get an idea of how you're doing. The trip computer on my Sienna is extremely accurate. I stopped calculating manually - there simply was no need. Break-in mileage is usually poor. It will get better, despite the fact that you're staying below 4000rpm.
