Thanks! I just hope the dealer we go with actually has the Obsidian Black Pearl in stock so we don't have to go back again and get it. Either way - even if NO incentives come out, I'm no worse off by purchasing it next week.
 
My Honda Civic is/was also the last of a major model design before an overhaul, and it's been extremely good to me. It seems like they get just about all the kinks out towards the end, then start the whole process again with a new look.
 
Fingers crossed!
 
Just bought some Subaru "gear' to go with the new car!

I see you are in NJ, I better see you at my shop in Kenilworth at some point! Even just to come hang and grab a slice of Buffalo Chicken Pizza and watch some road racing on the satellite dish!

We are 2 min off exit 138 on the GSP.
 
Kenilworth/Cranford/Rosell Park Area.
 
We usually hang on Saturdays and Sundays and some evenings. Working on customers or our own cars, more shooting the breeze than work sometimes.

Oh yeah. I've been around that way to visit inlaws, but not in a while. I used to live down by exit 90, but moved up north within the last year or two.
 
I'll have to make the drive when I eventually need to do some brakes or something, I guess. I haven't changed motor oil in a few years, actually. Not since I owned a `90 Wrangler anyway, sold that in `00. Hopefully the Legacy will be more roomy inside than the Civic!

We have a few custys who stop by for oil changes too. Most move over to Amsoil after 7k miles.

Yeah, I've never done the synthetic thing, mostly because there's no set "limit" on when to replace it and it's harder for me to justify the additional cost considering the way I drive my vehicles.
 
One thing I'm reading up on now is the break-in period. I'm seeing some forum garbage floating around regarding different break-ins... Some say don't rev past 4,000, some say rev past 4,000 once you're 2/3 of the way through the break-in and this'll improve mileage, etc.
 
First new car here, so, thoughts?

I like those but they resemble an Acura logo.

Break-in is 1,000 miles, you can rev past 4,000 on occassion but not any hard accelerations. Don't use cruise control. Other than that you are good to go.
 
For the Amsoil, I do 7500-10,000 mile oil changes on my cars or 1x a year whichever is first.

If you drive alot along 78 and 95, get the clearbra.
paisan can set you up. Get tints while at it.
That would buy some good times to hang out at the garage
