It will completely stop the car from about 40 mph to avoid hitting another vehicle. Even high end Mercedes, BMW, Lexus vehicles do not do this yet.

The new WRX is more refined then older generations but it is not comfortable at all. Amazing driving experience I will say. That car can take a corner like nothing I have ever driven and with a tune it was a rocket.
I am seriously thinking about looking at them at the end of the Summer. They seem really nice and I want something reliable for our main vehicle. Hopefully I can work the dealership and get a decent deal. LOL...

Cant believe you sold the LS Lavrish. You put a ton of maintenance and quality parts on that car to make it last for many more years and mileage. Whoever picked that up got a nice car.

WHATTTTTTTT? What got into your mind to sell it? Unless things weren't going well at work or related to finances, etc, I'm TOTALLY surprised?! Especially like others said with you posting your endless love for the car?!

You just don't get a change of heart like that. I don't buy it! Are you going through a mid-life crisis?...talking about a VETTE? You couldn't go any further in the opposite direction from the LS430 than a VETTE. And the WRX you spoke of like it was the 2nd best built car after the LS!

What got into you????? And don't say you're merely head over heels for a 2016 Subaru Outback!

Come clean (if you want). What REALLY happened?
