Hi All!
Well... the time has come. I've immensely enjoyed driving the S4 for 3 1/2 years ago now.
Not sure if this is the right section within the forum, but it’s time for a change. Winter is coming. Bwahahaha. Just kidding.
No but for real… I’m gonna seriously miss my S4. Love the stance. Love the interior, especially the seats! Love the cockpit jet fighter feel of sitting in the driver’s seat. And that glorious supercharged burst off the line! Didn’t love the sluggish/jerky Dual Clutch transmission. Didn’t love the brakes.
But still… what a beast of a machine!
Was looking at the RS3 and RS5, even the new AMG C43 Coupe and possibly the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (but it’s not AWD). I’m just not yet ready to make a move for any of those. I may come back to Audi in the future, but gotta be patient.
Soooooo…. to properly fill the need in the interim, I’ve gone and bought a sensible transition car. It’s not my dream car, and it’s certainly not an upgrade to the S4, but it’s super cool and I had to have a fun, fast, full time AWD machine that I’d be excited to drive every day.
Enter my new 2019 Subaru WRX Series.Gray
Bought it right off the showroom floor! (literally)
The Gray Series are very limited and all are spec’d out identically. I considered the STi version, but just couldn’t stomach that peacock style spoiler out back and deleting was going to be very challenging on this color.
Some key specs for the Series Gray:
Cool Gray Khaki Limited Edition Paint
268hp Boxer Engine with Twin-Scroll Turbo
6 speed with STi short throw kit was the only option
Recaro seats with Red and black trim – Leather/Alcantara combo
Black finish package all around:
- Side fender decals, Mirrors, Window trim, Shark fin antenna, Front grill, Rear badges, 18” wheels
LED Steering responsive headlights
Red Brake Calipers and upgraded brakes
Added front lip spoiler and rubber floor mats (neither installed yet)
Also added the extended 7 yr/100K mile warranty and extended 4 year maintenance package.
I’ve just got it back from the shop. I Immediately installed a full front end Suntek clear bra and then doubled up with Feynlab ceramic coating over the entire car! Also sprung for 3M tint.
And now for the pics!!
