Default New 350 Fsport owner Colorado

Hey everyone, been lurking for a week or so and Pulled the trigger yesterday on a 2016 350 Fsport AWD, everything but the spoiler and the lighted door sills. Mica Blue! Will arrive next WED from the port and I get to pick it up on THUR!

Located Northern Colorado area.

Trading from a 15 Sti, I don't get to the track ever due to working weekends, and wanted something more comfy for a daily driver, and something to turn some heads.

Curious if anyone gets it out on the Auto-X track ever and impressions? I know its not a true performance machine, but im stoked!

Thanks everyone

Welcome to the Club. Great color choice. My 200t just arrived to the port and is getting ready to be shipped via rail to Chicago then to my dealer. I got the USB also, with the red interior, with lighted door sills, but I didn't get the spoiler.

I drove 6 hours to pick this up. There were a few available around my area but in white/grey. (Boring colors for me), fell in love with the mica blue.

Congrats and welcome...definitely going to turn heads with that f sport grille and color! FYI, the awd version of the car sits very uneven...like a tank up front....lower it asap!

Very nice, congratulations. I am patiently waiting for my delivery from Japan and with the production suspended, who knows how long it will take. Enjoy your car, it's a looker.

Let me know your impressions from the STI to the RC. I ran my buddy's bone-stock 2015 STI a few times and barely pulled a car length on him (Though a few mods to the STI and bye bye RC). Anyways, Welcome and congrats!

So far the RC feels FAST but not Quick like the Sti... although some of that is familiarity im sure. but I constantly am surprised to look down and realize how fast I am actually going. Once i get about 1000 miles on the RC Ill start to "play" around more and have a better answer abotu the impressions
