Smile Dealer that still open for a new order

Hi. I'm in California and wondering if any of you know Subaru dealerships that still open for an order. I know that its really late to order a new one. I found it really hard to find brz with options and color that I want and I'm thinking about ordering a new one.

Let me know what you guys think. Really appreciate your thoughts and opinions. Please help me out. Thanks

I did try to search it through autotrader and cars but it ends up with nothing because most of them are manual and only few of them are automatic. I know right, I just fall in love with brz at the last minute.

The options that I want are auto dimming mirror with homelink and chrome fender trim. The car has to be an automatic and limited trim. For the color, I prefer red or gray but dark blue might work.

I know it's more fun especially with a car like brz but I'm too lazy to get a stick. I also think the same way with you to get just the basic and add other options later on. By the way, are you done with your break in period? I just wondering about the proper break in for brz. Thanks

i got the car last May so im definitely done with break in!



New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1000 miles [1600 km])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1000 miles (1600 km):

  • Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emergency.
  • Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
    either fast or slow.
  • Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
  • Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
    The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
    engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are
    replaced with new ones.

During cold start, should I wait until the car in the correct temperature or that's fine to drive it as long as it heats up in some minutes? thanks
