Old Thread I am transferring Over to Progress just for a central location. Enjoy

So

Picked up my Fr-S Friday morning June 1st.
I have had it for 36 Hours, the car now has 300 Miles on it and has gone thru the 1st tank of Gas.

A Few things.

Gas Light Comes on at around when there is about 2 gallons left (Tank capacity is 13.2).

The Stick Shift Vibrates a lot (Normal?)
The motor sounds very clicky at idle (Normal?)
Backseats are 100% useless and cargo capacity cannot fit a party sized cooler full of beer(haha).

Seats are excellent how ever it sucks it looses memory every time I move it to access the rear.

I am a portly fellow so I do have to make sure I do not smack my head every time I get in. Sound system is adequate but def distorts when you crank it all the way up.

On my way home from the dealership in the evening after work we had massive downpour and flooding in our area and the car handled it like a champ with water almost coming up to the front end!

Autocrossing: Autocrossed it less than 24 hours after I got the vehicle (while still staying under 4k Rpms, setup the shift light to light up at 4k rpms) and I am still keeping up with Subaru STI's very easily timing wise. When this thing goes full throttle I am sure there will be no contest.

Deer Incident: I did a relay walk for cancer from 6pm to about 3am( went until 6am but was too tired) and on my way home from leesburg, VA to Columbia, MD on 267 of VA a deer jumped in front of me. Keep in mind I had a whole cooler full of beer behind my seat and so I took super evasive actions at around 75mph.

Literally going from 1 lane to 2 lanes over (no cars were beside me) I know the general rule of thumb is to not turn because thats how crashes occur but I was not going to even come close to that deer with my car less than 48 hours old!

So evasive action at 75mph the car was violently shocked and it felt very sudden and the chassis was definitely upset but it handled it all like a champ, the electronic systems kept me in a straight general direction and MAN I was impressed. Dodged the deer and pulled over 1/2 mile later after I stopped shaking from the sudden shock and went out to check my car.

Not a scratch! This car is definitely champ and as I hoe you do not encounter these situations, in the event you do the car will have your back for sure.

Went to NY to put some miles on the car and get a Shawarma/falafel/chicken and rice, good fun. Car now has 820 miles (Got it June 1st). Break in time almost over!

Some pics of my car and the falafel from NY
