Why?

I really like it. Wonder if you can get it in that subi blue.

Yes

[tabasco122]

BRZ and WRX are the only ones with WRB as an option

[Duck Vader]

Look at the geyser blue offered on the wilderness. Pretty close if you ask me.

[Duck Vader]

Then again I don't see color well. Lol. I live in a muted world. I can see drastic differences though

[Duck Vader]

Still really enjoying this thing. First car I have had in a LONG time that I feel power is adequate. Have no urge yet to make it faster or modify it is anyway other than adding a roof top cargo box eventually.

Have been averaging around 25.5 mpg over the last 1000 miles. Up to about 3000 so far total.

[Duck Vader]

Buying some accessories soon.

One of which is a hitch for the rear.

2 choices:



Heavy-duty Class II - 2-inch receiver is rated at 3,500 lbs. towing capacity and 350 lbs. tongue weight.

or



Class III Maximum gross trailer weight: 4,000 lbs Maximum tongue weight: 600 lbs

I prefer the look and clearance of the class 2, but nervous of the lower tongue weight. Plus looks like the class 3 would get hung up on stuff more? - Lower ground clearance.

[aaronatstate]

Class 3, like was said in shout. The 4000lbx max trailer weight means when towing the max tongue weight would be 400 lbs. But with the a max of 600lbs tongue weight, you could get a 500lb bumper carrier.

[Chris GTO TT]

Get the class III.

[vr4]

Car is only rated to 3500. 3500lb looks better.

Generally I would go bigger is better but in this case no point.

[Duck Vader]

If you want to make a few bucks I could use a hand installing some stuff after it arrives. More skids and the hitch.

See this is a grey area. They are generally rated higher in Europe. It’s really just the regulations here that limit it, as I understand it. The car is capable of more, but you run the risk of being liable if something happens I would guess.

No problem

True. They're also much more strict on towing from my understanding. Speed limits, trailer brakes, etc.

Sure the car can do it but if something were to happen while towing above rated load you could be in for a world of hurt.

[Duck Vader]

Ya. Per the manual it's 350 / 3500 max per the car limits.

So doesn't seem to matter what one.

[Duck Vader]

Going to place the order later next week. Getting cross rails, cargo box, hitch, and a few more skids.

[Duck Vader]

Almost 3 months later and I still find myself stopping and looking at it. It's looks are really growing on me. Lol

[tabasco122]

See thread title

[Duck Vader]

I don't know. Just make me smile. Lol.

Only complaint is that I'd like better all terrain tires eventually. Ones on there are OK, but could use something with more grip in mud.

We will see how they do in the snow.

Caught myself looking at lifts for it the other day. Lol. Already has the factory lift from different springs but was looking at spacers.

Problem is I have a lifetime warranty on the powertrain. Don't want them to deny it because of a lift. Lol.

[DCIV]

I really do like it. It really might be my next daily.

After my order I'll have skids on the engine, transmission, fuel tank, and rear diff.

Already broke a control arm and wheel speed sensor wire. Need more protection. Lol
