Replying to: mpatil (Feb 06, 2006 1:00 pm) I would suggest driving an Evo before you make a $30,000 decision.. The MIVEC system is new on the Evo for 2006, but I haven't driven one. I don't have any daily driveability concerns about my 2003 Evo but I wouldn't mind having variable valve timing.   ~Colin
#310 of 780 wheel alignment problems/STi by nohitterhood Feb 20, 2006 (11:40 am)
I'm just curious if I am the only STi owner who has problems with knocking the beast out of alignment just driving at normal speeds on the "WONDERFUL" HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS OF CENTRAL CALIFORNIA..... I'm sure tired of it, as then it wants to "nibble", wander about following the uneven road surfaces... Aside for that, it is a wonderful piece of machinery.. For what it is I consider my 25 mpg at 80-85 and 19-20 around town, short shifting a lot to be quite good... It certainly makes this old man feel much younger...Quite a fountain of youth... I'm about to get really upset with Subaru if I'm the only one who has this happen...If it is happening to others, then there will be many more STi'owners who are complaining.. Please respond Replies to this message: shrink2 (Feb 21, 2006 10:10 am) byronwalter (Feb 23, 2006 1:46 pm)

Replying to: nohitterhood (Feb 20, 2006 11:40 am) I've had a similar experience with the wheels wanting to follow ridges in the roads etc. Some of the highways around Sactown are brutal. I only have a little over 1K miles on it (break in OVER!!), so I haven't been in to check the alignment, but haven't felt anything on smooth roads to make me worry. I remember that my Acura would need adjusting once in awhile during a service, and that was for all 4 wheels, so I don't know if its an issue with more complicated alignment set-ups. Great car though. Still working on shifting smoother.

Replying to: nohitterhood (Feb 20, 2006 11:40 am) You sure that it's an alignment issue? Sometimes it's just the tires. My first Audi had similar symptoms until I put some new rubber on it.   Byron
#313 of 780 What about us boring customers? by bamaflum Feb 24, 2006 (11:13 am)
I will be in the market for a 2.5i. What should I expect from dealers in discussing price of 2.5i? I have checked our local dealer (Austin and Houston as well) and they have few 2.5i's with some 2.5rs's left over from last year. It doesn't seem like they sell well here compared to up north. Should I expect a great deal or paying MSRP?   Thanks!
#314 of 780 CDN vs USD Pricing by richmtl2 Feb 24, 2006 (5:38 pm)
I did some comparatives on pricing, and either the US is getting great deals on most models or Canadians are taking it up the ... ever since the dollar has climbed.   Subaru is the worse with 20% premium on the WRX and Honda has a 13% additional markup on an SI with Aero and 18" wheels.   At Audi Canadians pay a 14% premium for 4WD compared to an 8% premium for 2WD   Generally speaking across the Toyota lineup we're paying between 10% and 20% more than the US after factoring in the current exchange rate.   The new VW GTI gap starts at 14% for the base but when you add some extras it drops to 7%   Given the free trade laws I think it's at the point where it might cost less to import the car from the US rather than buying at a Canadian dealership.   PS - don't give me the line about supply and demand. This is the corporate machine exploiting the under informed consumer.

Replying to: KarenS (Jul 28, 2003 8:10 am) Just bought my STI here in Hawaii for $500 below MSRP! Pfluger Subaru in Waipahu had put on an $5000 markup on the thing, Geez!   What an awesome car! Just came from a WRX too. What a huge difference. I'm glad I bought one!

Replying to: shrink2 (Jan 27, 2006 8:36 pm) You must be pumped. I am starting to get dealer quotes for an 06 sti (going high maintenance black) Ideally with fog lamp, short throw, autodimming/compass, boost guage, security shock sensor and destination MSRP is $35,082. Invoice is $32,665. What is resonable? My primary dealer I have been going to is of course telling me they don't get allot of the STI's and they move fast (I would expect him to tell me that).   What are they really getting? How did you do? Replies to this message: raybear (Mar 15, 2006 7:48 pm) wilky1066 (Mar 17, 2006 1:34 am)
