As soon as I go for the 2.9% financing, Subaru starts a 0% promotion, 60 months and all, for the OBS. Should have waited a little longer, but who knew..... I had an idle half hour the other night and went looking for any reviews specifically of the OBS, and has anyone else here ever tried that? It's an impossible task! 98% of all Impreza reviews are of the WRX or STi, and the remaining 2% are devoted exclusively to the base 2.5i. Two of the principal interior complaints in those 2.5i reviews - the steering wheel and shifter plastic - are resolved in the OBS with its leather wraps. I did find one review of the '98 OBS, which brought me back memories of my first one (a '97). A couple of months back I saw the woman who bought mine, she still has it and it has over 230K miles now. They keep on tickin' if you take care of them. Of course, that '97 had the very fabulous 2.2L engine.

Replying to: nippononly (May 24, 2009 10:23 am)  I did write a letter to Mazda and they sent me a gift card to purchase some accessories. Write a nice letter to SoA, it can't hurt. One stamp earned me $100 in accessories. Rubber floor mats, a cargo net, and maybe some touch-up paint, most likely. Hint: be nice, tell them you're a returning Subaru customer, kill them with kindness.

Replying to: slickrick1 (Mar 15, 1999 9:42 pm) I bought my OBS in February and have the following options: - rubber floor mats (best for the winters) - mud guard - home link/auto-dimming mirror with compass - bumper cover - center armrest (I used to drove a manual trans so my right arm needs a place to rest) I installed the following (parts bought from the dealer): - fog light protector (I had fog lights hit by rocks in the past) - stainless exhaust extension Like: - overall refinement - style and color – sage green (personal preference) - Subaru’s famous symmetrical AWD - world class safety features - A great car for the money Dislike (the below comments really don’t bother me. All personal preferences): - seat’s fabric - fuel economy (not terrible but could be better) - Subaru’s famous engine noise - no map pocket on the back of the driver seat - small storage up front Plan to add: - tinted back windows Good luck.

Replying to: nippononly (Jun 01, 2009 8:43 pm) I went to the Mazda dealer with mine, and got the run-around. First, they would not accept a 10% coupon for their web site for the accessories because they said you could not combine offers. I thought a gift card was same as cash, so I disagreed with the manager but he would not budge. Then he says I have 2 cards, $50 each, and can only use one per day. Which means I have to go back a 2nd time to his store.  Here I give a Mazda dealer a chance to prove they offer good service and they screw me over left and right. I'm taking the other card to another dealer. In fact I only went ahead with half of my purchase because they had a lower price on some items (higher on others). Every time I give a dealer a chance to do something good, I end up reminding myself of 2 things: 1). I would much, MUCH rather DIY, do it myself 2). When OE parts are needed, I much prefer to order them on-line, save myself the hassle of local dealer parts counters

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 02, 2009 10:21 am) I felt like writing them back and asking them if they couldn't just find $62 more in the deal to just pay the fees themselves, rather than bothering me. But I want my plates, so I sent the check.
