It's not a bad thing, just a cosmetic nuisance, I guess. Pretty sure they're Yokohama's, but I haven't checked the specific size on them.

Replying to: pilot1226 (Sep 16, 2008 7:20 am) I have noticed that high idle at startup also. I do a quick pump on the accelerator and the idle resets to normal rpms. Here's some pics of mine. You'll pardon the graininess of the images, I'm no photographer, and I used a throw away camera lol. http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie13.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie12.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie10.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie3.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie4.jpg http://i527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/tornadobrain/subie8.jpg I've put just over 1k on my Legacy, and I'm getting just over 30 mpg combined which is a lot better than I expected. Granted, it's still early, but I'm real happy with my car so far. |

Replying to: pilot1226 (Sep 17, 2008 6:15 pm) In Kansas, it's still mostly warm weather, so I haven't had an opportunity to use my seat heaters yet, but I'm looking forward to it. All in all, I got away paying just under 27k for mine, which is far less than I had expected to pay for a new vehicle. I am really pleased at all I get for the money, plus S-AWD, and one of the safest cars out there. |

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 18, 2008 7:05 am) Close, it's Newport Blue Pearl. I saw the Legacy in the blue on the showroom floor, and fell in love. I would have preferred a different color interior, maybe a darker color, but the ivory isn't bad with this blue. The one on the floor was an SE automatic with just the single disc cd player. I wanted the HK 6 disc changer and the heated leather seats so I went with the Limited. Thanks for the compliments. I like thse rims better than the other set available on the Limited trim. Yeah, I'm thinking about getting my windows tinted. I'm not sure if I'll get it done though. The dashboard is dark as it is, and when wearing sunglasses, it's tough to see it , so tinting might make that worse. Tinting would look good on her though lol.

Replying to: pilot1226 (Sep 18, 2008 9:22 am) That's why we have 2 year inspections. I've had all my cars tinted for years (20% none the less) and the only time I've gotten a ticket for it was when the cop didn't want to write me for a lot of speed over the limit. He says "Well listen, I'll give you a tint ticket, it's $50 and no points" "Thank you officer" We have a great tint guy down in kenilworth who's done work on almost every car out there. Highend to lowend.  He's a subaru guy too. -mike |
