Picked up yesterday, now that I moved out of the city I needed a daily driver for my commute
Was considering Mazdas but will be driving in harsh winters and needed AWD. The CX5 didn't excite me much so I looked elsewhere. ..
2015 Dark Gray Metallic WRX Premium w STI short shifter

It's a blast to drive, will keep it mostly stock since I need it to be reliable
My MX3 will still be my real project and passion

These are dope cars. I have an acquaintance who just traded his BRZ in for one. I think its funny the lancer evo is being phased out just as the STIs/WRXs look exactly like them.

I love how MX-3 owners run to subaru.
My wife came with a Subie. They are great cars.

lol i just saw this...funny how many MX3 guys ended up with a WRX.

I don't like my 2015 that much but I'm hoping that will change. The new Cobb AP stage 1 map just came out and I can't wait to install it. THe factory tune on the FA20DIT is complete and utter trash so hopefully it smooths out the power delivery & gets rid of that huge dip in power at 4500-5000

Awesome car wait till the snow flys and you can have fun doing donuts. Have you joined either NASIOC or even our Toronto Subaru club yet?

Gro I've been using the stage 2 91octane Cobb map and my car runs great. Subaru fuel map is very lean so I feel the Cobb map is a little safer.

Yea i ran a cobb AP v2 on my bugeye since 08'. Put stage 1 on it immediately & it smoothed out the powerband which helped with driveability. Then i got a turboback and flashed stage 2. Had that up until 2012 when I got bored of it and went with a VF34, sti pink injectors & a walbro 255lph. HOLY CRAP what a difference that made. The car pulls all the way to redline strong as hell. Got it pro-tuned later on and made 306awhp which surprised me.

going from that to this new 2015 is a huge downgrade as far as power but I need to move on.

FYI the cobb maps are traditionally ridiculously rich for safety purposes. Getting it pro-tuned leans it out to where it should've been in the first place so there is plenty of potential there if you ever want to unlock more power .

Keep me posted if you get it installed, I might pick it up in the near future
