If I do purchase the Impreza Sport I'm going to push for different tires. I know with the 205/50 R17 I'm kinda limited to what I can get.

as far as performance tire....I relate that back to is the Impreza a true performance car...its not the WRX/STI...so for an small economy AWD sedan or hatch back.....they do fine...IMHO...
I personally think the term Impreza Sport is a little misleading...that simply means you get a roof rack, two tone paint options, and different rims...otherwise the entire Impreza line is exactly the same to include specs....
if you have the $$ to change out the tires..by all means....by I dont personally see the need to do it.....

The gas light illuminated at about 1000' from the gas station, it was on 1 tick of the display as well. I was planning to get gas at that station anyway.
So it filled up with 12.6 (12.599 on the pump). With the tank being 14.6 gallons, if the gas light is linked to actual level in the tank, that would mean it comes on at 2 gallons left.
(for the record that was 30.5 MPG on this tank)
On my Forester the low fuel light goes on with 2.3 gallons left, but the tank's a bit bigger.
Here in Alaska, they don't even bother putting up a "Bump" sign unless you're likely to catch two feet of air at the speed limit! Generally, they just put up a sign at the start of the highway that says "dips next 400 miles." I'm still not sure whether they're referring to the road surface or the drivers using it. :P
If you don't mind me asking, where in SoCal are you? Which dealer are you using? How much paying? Sport limited/not sport?
Glendale is closest dealership for me, but salesmen are sleezy. Sherman Oaks seems to have a much better rep. But I don't mind going further afield for the right deal.

I've tried video recording our Jeeping adventures in Moab, but I've always struggled to capture the ridiculous angles, drops, and spans we traverse. What appears positively terrifying in person comes across as rather mundane later. I just can't seem to capture the "pucker" factor.

It did get me thinking that I should set up my video camera on something similar the next time I take my Forester out on the logging/mushing/snowmobile trails. It is fun to be driving along a trail and come across a musher coming the other way; there's just something a little surreal about it.

Article pretty accurately reflects how I feel about the car after test driving it and comparing it with other cars. There really isn't much to complain about.
On week 3 of a 6-8 week wait on a DMG Sport Limited. Should be receiving VIN soon. They extended the 0.9% financing till the end of February so it will be close.
As a side note, the price of gas is ratcheting up again so it should create even more demand as people scramble to purchase more fuel efficient cars. Supply of hatches is ridiculously low at dealers here in Southern Cali.

What is up with them ordering almost all sedans everywhere it seems? Same thing here in the Northwest. First wave of cars is almost all Sedans and of course the demand is for hatchbacks, especially in the outdoorsy oriented Northwest. Not sure what they were thinking. So of course there is a shortage of hatches. I am glad I got in line for one early!
Factory invoice according to True Car is $21,140. Edmunds says $21,118.
I'd be very happy to get it near invoice on such a new, hot model.
It appears that there is a $300 "regional ad fee" that is also built into the cost.
Hmm, lots of stuff goes into the pricing, doesn't it?

Edit: Oh, ZERO percent interest through February...2 month delay on first payment...but, since this is an order, the interest would be whatever is on the table when the car comes.
vs my '03 Forester, she loved the front seat. In fact, she said she wouldn't want it if the front seat was like the Forester seat.
Back seat has about 2" more leg room than the '03 Forester! All in all, has almost all of the earlier generation Forester attributes (small size but spacious and well laid out interior, good mpg, nimble handling) but with major improvements in important areas such as less noise and more mpg.
I'm 6'3" and I found the back seat very comfortable.

As for hatchbacks, Subaru is missing the boat as the prior models hb's outsold the sedans according to the Topix reviewer. So they knew but didn't adjust the mix enough. The Sports and Limited models are also hard to come by unless you special order.
We have been steady at the 1.9% (60month) the entire time here in Central PA. The dealer told me he doesn't see it changing anytime soon.

I don't need anything especially loud, or deep, but come-on Subaru. The horn on my son's bicycle with training wheels has more authority! I need to get a new horn, this is embarrassing! Any suggestions?
The first time I hit the horn I laughed.
What is REALLY funny to note in that commercial, is that it features the hatchback.....which is in short supply because they loaded up the dealers with sedans.

The WRX and STI owners love that horn.
