I joined the club!
 
After waiting for this car forever, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the 2017 CWP Limited in Auto (I can hear the Manuals booing me already).

I love the upgrades in the interior (even though some people hate it). I am a little disappointed that the 2017s do not come with Navigation. I didn't realize this until after I drove the car home (stupid me).

I've been on this forum forever (stalking) and I'm finally happy to be able to make this thread!

Details because I know you guys care:
2017 Limited Auto, with Popular Package #2 (wheel lock, rear bumper applique, cargo tray, interior ilum-blue, mirror compass w/homelink)

Negotiated price: 27,500 (does not include license/doc/state tax)
OTD: 30,520
My tax rate is 9.5 (Bay Area)
MSRP: 30,398

First mods (to be planned):
- Clear coat sealant (anyone know a good shop in the bay?)
- Clear bra
- licenseplate relocator kit
- tint

Congratulations on your new car!

My car came with clear bra... Tint is a must!

Good luck!

Agreed, tint is the best mod you can do to this car. I'm so glad I did it and was so impressed by the results that I took my truck in and had it done too.

This is post tint. Looks way better.

I went 5% on the rears and 35% on the fronts.

Congrats! Instead of a relocator kit, do this:

Thanks Shiumai! I'll have a look at it. I'm not opposed to the off-centered look of the relocator kit, though.

Congrats! Welcome!!!

Congrats!, tints are a must of these cars IMO.

I remember when i got my brand new series blue 2 years ago, time goes so quick!

Enjoy

Congrats! Nothing wrong with having an auto. I have one in my BRZ and love it. Very responsive. And a big plus for the tint! It is a must here in Florida!! Plus I love the look!

What's this window tinting all about ?

Where I live a hot summer day is 68 degrees f.

In the winter, hiking in the rain, or on a gloomy day...very happy, amazed, to come back to my dark blue car, finding it warm inside.

Welcome! Never mind the auto trolls. It's a solid unit.

You live in the only place in the world that has more fog than San Francisco LOL.

Congratulations to OP. Where'd you get it from?

geezerbrzeezer 10-31-2016 10:06 PM

MGPAX 11-01-2016 01:58 AM

Thanks! I picked her up from Livermore Subaru. A little out of the way but the only dealership that was willing to work with me. Ask for William! He may take a little longer to respond but that's because he's always busy.

Drambeenie 11-01-2016 01:45 PM

Welcome! I'm very jealous, my car doesn't arrive for another 2 months :(. Enjoy!

Congratulations, any chance of posting pictures of the blue interior illumination? I have the red in my 2016 but have never actually seen anybody who has the blue oem one

Umm, actually I drive an AT, defend them regularly here, and was actually paying you a complement, despite my missed apofistry.
