I expected them to be the same rate since the car was released.

I'm kind of jealous...I haven't had time to clean mine so it's just been sitting in the garage, but I'll be taking it out to the wild tomorrow after I do the full new-car detail.

So dumb

Crosstrek, Impreza, and BRZ models are all at 2.9% across all terms simply to make an incentive to buy the 2015 model (1.49-1.9 for XV/Impreza)) and 0.9-1.9 (BRZ)

Subaru Motors Finance, which is funded by CHASE would actually be more expensive than a standard Auto Loan through CHASE itself lol. Of course, it depends on location and credit history, but it's still pretty funny.

I support the use of a credit union on a new car like this. I got 1.79% for 60 months with automatic payments so I'm happy with that

This is the beauty of having a stand out colour. To the average person the white, black and silver cars have become almost invisible. Even dark blue is becoming so common it wont be noticed much anymore soon.

.

That is what I love about the lava. The car can look like 4 or 5 different colours all at the same time all depending upon how the light hits it. I am a bit disappointed that it is unlikely I will ever get to see one of these in person since I suspect they will be very rare around my parts. You can bet I will be looking though.

So for those lucky enough to have their cars.
How is the new Head Unit?
Is the sound quality good?
Is there a startup image that you can change like in previous years?

Like I expected, the head unit is the same as those found in the base model Subarus. It's simple and isn't laggy, and it's easy to change the radio station now that there are buttons.

Sound quality is decent although I wouldn't be able to say if it's better or worse.

Not sure if there's a startup image you can change tbh.

Doesn't sound too bad, that said its better than the Enterprises Rental I was using but definitely not as good or solid as the stereo + sub in the 2015 GTI SE.

I didn't know the startup image could be changed ... I'll check when I'm warming her up this morning.

EDIT: @nisti
I didn't see anything in the menus that jumped out as being able to change the back ground ... I also haven't tried to update it yet either.

Did you guys do any additional plans EX. Ext warranty, maintenance, or GAP?

Just the dent thing and GAP through my CU.
I did order the STI trim parts + diffuser and red interior lighting.

[nisti]

Thanks for the info on the head unit.
I'm not expecting anything out of this world, just curious.

Anyone going to have a chance to go for a nice drive this weekend?
If so, take some pictures to share!

[DayV]

@nisti I've been taking the long route to work and going early just for a nice joy ride

You two doing anything on the 15th? If not, want to join us in a little meet and greet with BWW wing night?

I'm sure the local owners would love to see the new color in person (I'm curious as well). :3

Sure, I can do that, I don't think I can make the 7 on the dot as I work down town, but I'm really familiar with that BDubs.
Also i'm the weirdo/Weeb that just confirmed on FB.
