carguyco Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Diamond Grey Metallic LGT 2007 w/ 37k....5MT... I love it so far...drove 80 miles to Denver to purchase this car and paid 18500 for it....Sport Sharp mode is very fast and fun...Here are some observations: Not as small as I thought it would be...contrary to what my first salesman said when I testdrove the 2010....it is smaller don't get me wrong, but not too small. Intelligent mode is slow.... I think I finally know what you guys mean about Boxer Growl....most evident in 1,2,3rd gears at high rpm... My windshield de-icers may or may not be working as the indicator light on the switch never comes on....help? Even though they put brand new tires on the car prior to me purchasing it...and they aren't all season as far as I can tell....this thing does fine up my driveway in the ice. I need window tint... The heated seats work great.... The seats are very comfortable compared to my 07 Honda Accord I did NOT notice any more wind noise, contrary to what my first salesman said when he was comparing framed windows/non-framed windows... Not as much road noise as I had thought...of course I drive a 2007 Honda Accord LX bean can.... The cupholders are inconvenient... I like having the light come in from the sunroof even when closed because it is a snow storm today.... This thing is quick.... More to come later I bet..can't wait to drive to work tomorrow... http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q224/sprinklerguy/DSCF0635.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q224/sprinklerguy/DSCF0636.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strizzy Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Congrats!I'd have to agree with the placement of the cupholders too. Just wait until you have a drink with a decent sized straw to catch your elbow in the not-so-funny spot... My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeytl Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 These are fun cars for daily driven and some mods can make it even more joyful to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockle3 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i demand stage 2 nowif you think its fast now you might piss your pants xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJS5689 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i demand stage 2 now if you think its fast now you might piss your pants xD Exactly! I have my downpipe in the garage waiting to go on. I thought my Legacy was pretty slow when it was stock. Cars are all relative to what you drove before hand. Stage 1 is not bad, but I'm itching for more. I should work on this downpipe install.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! They really are a fun daily driver! It's funny, when I first got mine I couldn't help but think, "Damn this is sluggish," "wow, there's turbo lag," "why do I need to downshift from 6th to pass," ETC. Now that I've done some work, the smiles are back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I did NOT notice any more wind noise, contrary to what my first salesman said when he was comparing framed windows/non-framed windows... It is a little more pronounced at higher speeds - not that I can hear minor noises over my exhaust . Have you ever drove a Dodge Neon? They have a LOT of wind noise because of their pillar-free windows. Fortunately, Subaru did a much better job with the design. Maybe the sales guy was stuck on that? The cupholders are inconvenient... Huh? Where do you want them? Not being a smartass. This thing is quick.... because when you go stage1 it is going to make you how much faster the car can be with just a reflash. Don't bother with an AP, just go opensource with a remote tune from a guy like Infamous1 for around $200. I would give money to see the look on your face when you floor it the first time in 1st and 2nd after a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subiedad51 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Stage 1 on the 07's plus doesn't feel any faster, just a bit smoother and no more stutter - Stage 2 and Infamous1 Love the DGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeblow Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Diamond Gray Metallic. Short code for the paint color. Sunshine? Are you sure you're in CO. I think we've switched weather. I'm in the middle of a 6-9" snow storm on top of the 6" we got on Friday. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayRez33 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 congrats man and i agree with you on the cupholders....idk if you got the arm rest extension piece but you can barely use the back cupholder (of the front cupholder) with it up.

shesaidletsrock Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 might as well fopget the middle consoule is even there while driving.. it would be easier routing around in the backseat. and what happens when you tune? my spec b is ready for it and im wonmdering how it works. does the tune just effect sport sharp? or all settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguyco Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah I got the lifting console thingamabopper... The cupholders are useless...luckily I hardly ever have anything in there to drink..and I don't use a spitcup anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
