RBram58 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 After almost 2 months since I placed the order I finally got to drive my shiny new Spec B home today! It's going to be tough containing myself during the break in period, but I already know I'm going to enjoy this ride soooo much!! I really like the dark grey - it gives the car a really sophisticated, understated look and the interior black leather/blue alacantra complements it perfectly. It is too soon for me to comment too much on the performance/handling, but my initial impressions are that the car is going to be an incredible, fun driving experience. I'm located in the SF Bay area and for those in the area I know there have been a lot of negative posts regarding Steven's Creek Subaru - but I have to say my experience purchasing this car was fantastic - couldn't have been better. I got a great price and the internet sales manager I worked with was excellent to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBram58 Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 I actually traded "up" from a lexus ES 300 for my Spec B. Believe me, I am really looking forward to driving - so far I only have 50 miles on it, just 950 to go until I'm broken in! My wife drives a 2004 forester, so we are now a dual Subaru household. I would drive the Forrester at every opportunity - so much more fun than the stodgy Lexus. I couldn't be happier I now have my own subbie in the garage.

I just picked up mine from Ron Price Subaru in SSF, even tho i live in oakland. Luckily at the time i placed my deposit the dealership had already ordered a Spec B with no buyer yet so i only had to wait 10 days for mine Congrats on your buy.

Dr.Outback Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I just got mine last Friday. It came in 3 weeks after ordering! Which was good and bad because I still haven't sold my SVX yet. It's such a sweet car. I've been treating it nice. I have taken it to 5,000 rpms a few times, but that was necessary as I was passing someone. The SI-Drive in "I" mode makes the car a little hard to start from certain stops. I've found "S" and "S#" allow smoother starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Em Ezee Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Congrats. I too got my Spec over the weekend, and even though break-in is tough, I've found there is still plenty fun to be had under 4000 rpm if you can find yourself a series of low speed twisties.

RBram58 Posted October 18, 2006 Author Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks guys, I'll post pics in a few days. BTW I was reading some posts that were complaining about the nav, I don't have a whole lot of past experience with nav systems, but I don't know why anyone would have problems with this system. The POI database has some ommissions I've noticed so far but other than that I haven't noticed any problems with it. at all. What are your thoughts?

Like you, I didn't really have any experience with GPS systems before the Spec. B. The NAV works great, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
