Subaru Impreza WRX 2003


Indeed, Subaru Impreza have strong characteristics, namely a car rally with her signature color is blue. But this belongs to Ian Ferandi has changed 180 degrees into a stylish racing style wheel plus fingers. "I can get bored with the old concepts. Might be different with colored lights and custom body kits for eye catching," said 19-year-old teenagers who live in Surabaya.

Indeed, the Subaru Impreza WRX in 2003 was forced to be a fashionista. Use body kit looks a lot grooves firmly. In fact, exterior look into the boxes.

Can be glimpsed from the front bumper plus an extra large air dam located right in the middle. The goal, more air flow to the intercooler Greddy products. Plus the pillars in the water right and the left side scoop. "To be balanced with the center scoop water," said Ian. Accents such as the pillars are also located on the side skirts.

In order matching, the engine hood scoop has also been increased with water. But not to break down, just extra taped. The model pointed to near gril that when viewed between the engine hood scoop water and gril be sustainable.

To painting, Ian collectors trinkets Subaru no playing one color. Rer fused cherry candy color tone and Spies Hecker helois so yellow from the main menu. This is indeed the color desired cool Ian that every stopped at a light beacon all eyes are on her car.

Problem detail, Ian chose workmanship with water brush technique. Not too complicated, quite firmly with stripes in surounding gray body color. "With the water brush, we can play as they pleased and colors can be combined with the color of the car," proud of Ian.

Just play paint it! No other changes appear on the main lights and stop (stop) which is replaced with the MY07 STI. The differences appear in the cradle and the color inside.

Subaru Impreza Berlinetta


Subaru brand certainly have enough history in terms of performance, but to be more exotic, an Italian design studio Beestudio need to do a re alter.

Thus, as reported by Autoevolution, Saturday (6/26/2010) Japanese and Italian cuisine combine in one unit Subaru Impreza concept is agile, cosmopolitan, creative, efficient and dynamic.

Impreza would Berlinetta manifold two-door coupe, powered by Subaru's boxer engine and equipped with All wheel drive, so it does not eliminate the characteristic of the Impreza.

And most striking change is the engine Berlinetta Subaru Impreza is already moving to the back, done by rotating the whole platform as many as 180 degrees, while wheelbasenya maintained.

And interestingly, this Berlinetta Impreza material using tubular steel for the chassis and fiberglass, and aluminum and carbon fiber for panel body.

Although the car has not really built, but a pre-feasibility studies have been made by the engineer Mauro Forghieri. Subaru Impreza Berlinetta so that later it will compete with the Ford GT40 or even a Ferrari Enzo.

Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B Review



Okay, so the name is a mouthful..."Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT spec.B"...but don't let that drive you away. The Subaru Legacy has been one of the great below-the-radar sedans since its redesign a couple of years ago...and the (let's just shorten it) spec.B just makes it better.

What we have here is a BMW 3-series on the cheap. The spec.B comes with a six-speed manual transmission, an intercooled, turbocharged engine, a Bilstein Sport Suspension, 18 inch wheels and performance tires and Subaru Intelligent Drive (they call it SI-DRIVE). What it does is allow the driver to maximize performance and efficiency by turning a knob to one of three settings: "Intelligent", "Sport" and "Sport Sharp".

"Intelligent" could also be called "Relaxed" or "Responsible", lowering torque, smoothing out response and improving fuel efficency by about 10 percent.

"Sport" gets you quick throttle response (great for freeway merging), while "Sport Sharp" gets you still more power even faster. Drive it in "Sport Sharp" mode and you'll stop snickering over the BMW comparison in the second paragraph.

The spec.B also gets navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, an all-weather package with heated seats and mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer (!), a Harmon Kardon 9-speaker audio system and, of course, Subaru's all-wheel drive...all at a price of $34,595. The test vehicle we had added a Sirius Satellite Radio kit for $456and a trunk cargo net for $64. Bottom line, with destination and delivery charges: $35,780...a chunk less than a similarly equipped 3-series.

The EPA estimates 17 city, 24 highway miles per gallon (probably in "Intelligent" mode).

The spec.B is a no-excuses sport sedan well worth your time in a test drive.

Subaru Forester Review



There are very few cars in 11 years of writing about them (not to mention 30-plus years of driving them) that I can honestly say I've always liked and recommended. The Subaru Forester has made that list every single time.

Not an easy trick, because with each generation, the Forester strives for a bit more refinement and a bit less quirky individuality...a path on which many vehicles have lost their way and become just another car (cough...cough...SAAB...cough).

But not to worry. The all-new 2009 Forester is everything every other Forester has been...but better. A longer wheelbase means more room and a better ride. A stiffer platform improves handling and a new chassis gets better crash test results. Vehicle Dynamics Control is standard. And the two four-cylinder engines have more user-friendly torque curves (more oomph when you want and need it).

Also important in an SUV that actually can go off the pavement, a tire pressure monitoring system is now standard.

Buy a base 2.5X model with a stick and no options, and you're out the door for $19,995 (okay, the $665 delivery charge puts you at $20,660, but these days, you can probably haggle the local dealer down by $665, right?).

Ours was a bit more expensive. Subaru sent over the 2.5XT Limited with navigation...and with delivery, that one's $30,660.

Yep. A 30-thousand dollar Forester. It's come to that.

Remarkably, though, the Forester managed to make that number seem reasonable the more we drove it. If it was my money, I'd probably go for a mid-level model...but the Limited with nav isn't out of line.

It's never been the cutest of what used to be called the cute-utes (small SUVs), but the Forester has been...and still is...our pick.
