Hey guys,

Thanks for the love. Sorry, I have been crazy busy at work and I also got rid ole' bessie about a month ago. The time had come.

I loved my 430 but I was ready for something else. The WRX, although fantastic for the driver, was not for anyone else. Traded them both in for a 16 Outback 3.6R. Really happy with the new ride. It's not a LS but it is a well made and comfortable vehicle great for the Northeast. Worked out a great deal at the Subi dealer and the rest is history.

My wife wants the same Outback... LOL. Do you really like the 3.6R over the smaller engine?

Best of luck with the new ride. Your LS was one of the nicest ones out there.

I had a WRX (9-2X) and it was fun for a short time, but I then started really hating it. Just a really uncomfortable car and it felt cheap, like a tin can.

Yes. The 3.6 is smoother, quieter, and definitely feels more refined. The 2.4 will do the job but I prefer the 6 vs the 4 in a vehicle this size. Eyesight is amazing. Best in the industry right now. 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.

You are the 7th 2016 WRX owner I know, that dumped the car. I don't know how long you had yours, but the other 6 I know all had it less than 3 months and less than 2500 miles.

I didn't know you got rid of your LS and WRX. The Outback must be a pretty good car. My neighbor sold me his 02 LS430 to get a new Outback and he seems to love it.
