Replying to: cpark227 (Dec 19, 2007 6:59 pm) I think so...the premium package is SUCH a good deal, actually. The WRX prices are so much higher it's hard to justify stepping up to those.   Congrats.
#446 of 786 2.5i 4-door base by rsholland Dec 20, 2007 (2:09 pm)
I just spent the beeter part of today with a new Impreza 2.5i base model automatic. I had my car in for the 30K service and they (Herb Gordon Subaru in Silver Spring, MD) gave me loaner.   So, I did some X-Mas shopping, and checked out the car pretty closely. A few points to note:   • The car had almost as much road noise as my WRX—which was a shock! Maybe the base model has less sound dampng than Premium Package models, as my memory of the new WRX Prem/Pack was quiter than this car.   • The front seats are awful. They're flat with almost no side support. Even my son's '06 Outback Sport has better seats.   • Hate the rock-hard sun visors. My WRX has sun visors that are nicely padded, not so with the '08 models. This is a clear bean-counter victory.   • I played a bit with the SportShift. It's okay, but nothing special. It needs 5 gears, not 4 gears.   • As previously noted, it's much roomier than my car, which is good.   Bob Replies to this message: ateixeira (Dec 21, 2007 11:11 am) jeffmc (Dec 21, 2007 12:24 pm)

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 20, 2007 2:09 pm) Cool opportunity.   If you're still going back to pick up your car, check out if the 2.5i Premium models are any different.

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 20, 2007 2:09 pm) Did you check out the rear shelf on a sedan? Plastic. Add up all the extra plastic surfaces, and you've probably got part of the reason the car sounded noisy. Door panels, visors, rear panel, ceiling (vinyl rather than fabric, correct?)... that's a lot of area for sound to bounce off of.
#450 of 786 2008 STI Available? by tiff_c Dec 21, 2007 (5:13 pm)
I was asked if the 2008 STI's were available for sale yet. My friend is going to be out of email contact except sporadically for a couple of weeks and wants to know as he's probably going to buy one first week of January. Dealers that I called are saying no chance in the Northeast. Also what's expected on this car full MSRP or are any discounts possible? I'll pass it along so he can prep for a test drive if they are available. Thanks Replies to this message: redsnare (Dec 22, 2007 1:33 pm) tiff_c (Dec 22, 2007 7:59 pm)

Replying to: tiff_c (Dec 21, 2007 5:13 pm) If you pre-order through subaru.com before the end of the month you get a free I-Pod Touch. You probably won't see STi's at most dealers until the middle of January. Call around to every dealer that first week your friend is visiting, though, to see if any are in; I'm guessing most will be pre-orders or snatched up quickly. I'd be surprised if you see any prices much lower than MSRP that early. Replies to this message: tiff_c (Dec 22, 2007 7:59 pm)

I think he's worried about the seats in the STI. I should have my Mazdaspeed3 by then so who knows maybe he'll buy one of those. Seats seem very supportive and comfortable in the Speed3. I did call around for him and he did the Internet thing and so far he can't get a single quote. i guess it's tough to do. He really should get a BMW 335i but he wants AWD. The 335i is only like $4K more. But he wants more power. I'd go for a BMW if I had the $$$. Thanks for the info it's appreciated.
