I think redesigning the tips is cheaper than redesigning the mufflers lol

That's a silly law, if it's true. Looks more likely to trap exhaust fumes under the cars body and into the passenger compartment.

It's his first manual car guys, leave him alone. He doesn't want it rolling away since there's no P on the gearstick. Just kidding!

On a serious note, !

I like the concept of the limited edition and all. But I can't get past the blue steering wheel and the blue seats. Sorry just my two cents. The outside is nice though.

No good thing the front plate had been drilled into the plastic grill. My dealer had already done this to all their new cars on the lot.

Why wouldn't it chirp? As far as I know know all the changes are cosmetic..

Haha yeah, the parking brake is probably a bit tight. I just yank up on it and leave it where it sits, not trying to get it as tight as possible. I never use them on my other automatic cars so I want to make sure the manual doesn't go anywhere.

Front plates are required here in TX so the fact that they predrilled the holder isn't a big deal to me. I've run for a while without one on my FJ Cruiser w/ tube bumper without issue, but my friend has gotten pulled over for not having one in his Supra. The TX plates are very clean these days (white with black text, no color or logos) so it should look alright.

The dealer claimed Subaru redesigned the fuel pump for 2015 and that as long as I use premium fuel I shouldn't have the chirp. We shall see.

Another photo after getting it tinted. 30% in the front (limit is 25%) and 15% in the rear so I can still see out the rear window at night.
