subiefan15 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Looking to upgrade to the 2018, really like some of the changes plus I am wanting eyesight. I know a few people here have them but haven't seen many pictures, just wondering if you guys could throw some up and show off your new rides. I'm aiming at a 2.5i limited in Ice Silver.

securityguy Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 This late in the game..I would wait for the 2019's to come out next August. You're car is only 2 years old tops and it may be well worth the wait to get a 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovcoursitsilver Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 This late in the game.. What? August is only weeks ago and NEXT August is 10 months away. What will the 2019 have that's worth the wait? More trim refreshed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisvegas Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 What will the 2019 have that's worth the wait? Maybe that's exactly what Securityguy in his post is asking the OP to consider ...... because who knows what might be on offer in 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securityguy Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks @Brisvegas...exactly! Some folks can only see as far as tomorrow versus over the horizon...the 2019 should be on the new GLOBAL Platform as will the 2019 Forester and the new Impreza introduced as a 2017 (which I just purchased for my son a month ago). It will be significantly updated and may be well worth waiting for. May not be a simple refresh but a ground up redesign that may still share exterior cues but I would wait unless I really needed a new car now. As @MrCobbs stated...get what you want but the question was asked and I gave my recommendation;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiefan15 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Ya I am definitely thinking about that new global platform. Patients isn't necessarily my strongest suit. HAHA. Love the slight updates on the '18. Time will tell. I live in winter so I am thinking I will wait until at least spring because winters are not nice to cars with all the beat juice they spray and what not. I keep my cars nice and always wash them and spray off the undercarriage but I don't want to subject a brand new car to that if I can help it. @MrCobbs beautiful ride! Did you add the led license plate lights or did it come that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCobbs Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Thanks! I ended up adding in the Philips LED for the trunk and the license plate. Added the Morimoto LED for the door. Just waiting for my turn signals to ship from VLEDS and I will be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new blue is intriguing but I don't like the tan interior, I think ice silver and black just has a clean crisp look to it Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor1970 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I just want to know, on the 3.6R, have they finally gotten around to tuning the transmission to go from 0-60 faster than a 1985 Yugo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the dark blue pearl and twilight blue have been around a while, at least a couple of years? In the US the dark blue comes in ivory but apparently in Canada, black is also an interior option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiefan15 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 The Dark blue Pearl replaced Lapis Blue for 2018 but unfortunately it only comes with tan interior in the US. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been 'revised' but, who knows what the true revisions were. I have a '17 3.6, and it's not 'that' slow. I do use my paddles fairly often though so that helps. And, I'm now past the 1k miles break-in period which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt the Ice Silver and Black is a great choice...but having owned a silver-colored car for the past 13+ yrs, the Mrs. wanted a different color and so we went with Black.

Saberplane Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hey subiefan15. I have the Crystal Black Silica with Black interior. No doubt the Ice Silver and Black is a great choice...but having owned a silver-colored car for the past 13+ yrs, the Mrs. wanted a different color and so we went with Black. Interesting, from that angle it kinda looks like the nose of a latest gen Chevy Cobalt or Malibu. Anyhoo, the 18 is definitely tempting for some of the mostly little things but *knocks on wood* my 15 has been close to flawless after some of the initial kinks like the pillar seals and fuel door sticking. It even survived a catastrophic complete blowout of my right rear tire going about 75 mph and the only thing that needed replacing was that one tire. Amazing. Never even felt like I lost control. Anyway... Feel like I owe to drive this baby a little while longer yet- after some visual upgrades I still love the look and the way it drives every single day. I am however very excited to see what the new global platform will bring. It seems like a long wait yes but at the same time these last 3+ years have flown by.

Pool Shark Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hey Saberplane: glad to hear that you survived a tire blowout...at 75mph! I am surprised that you only needed to replace the one tire (and not the other tires) as well as no major wheel damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am back and forth between the Magnetite Gray and the Crystal Black. My first Subaru was a 2009 Legacy with Crystal Black / Black Leather. Looked great when it was clean (for an hour...)

andrew_l_s Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Got to check out some 18s up close for the first time at the dealer this past weekend, it's definitely more aggressive looking. The factory option spoiler looks really nice too, they had 2 Sport trim cars on the lot that I checked out. Also the new LED fog lights appear to be identical to those used on the 2018 WRX just with a shroud over them making them appear not-round. As much as I like the new look I honestly prefer the simpler pre-refresh look. I really don't like the new steering wheel design, my brother's 17 Impreza has it and I'm not a fan of the control layout.

Pilot1226 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I'm not sure I'll go for the spoiler. The trunk lid had a kind of finished, notched look to it to begin with. Unless you're driving so hard the car is starting to go airborne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rec630 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Has anyone with a 2018 3.6R done any 0-60 acceleration tests? That kind of kept popping up on prior reviews and wondered if any of those factory "fine tuning" changes for 2018 made any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
