New owner, from WRX to Z

Dsouth · 06-03-2013, 07:37 PM

Hey guys, I traded in my WRX and bought my Z a few months ago! I always loved the Z, but due to living in the north and commuting to school, I went with the WRX. The Subaru was great, but the interior was cheap and rattled like a tin-can over any bump. Even though the car was really quick, it didn't feel like a sportscar, and it definitely doesn't look as good as the Z. I don't have the Z broken in yet, but from what I can tell it accelerates quicker than my WRX, and completely out-handles the Subaru. Overall, I'm extremely happy and the Z definitely feels like a true sportscar. I don't have any mods yet, but my Ark exhaust is supposed to be here in a couple days and I can't wait to hear the sound of the VQ! Here's some pics:

Here it is at the Fast and Furious premiere ha!

Welcome you like black don't you? and is your Z loaded? Was your wrx stock? Do you have a second car for the winter? Z power

Welcome and Enjoy. No flies on WRXs but they do kinda lack in the solid feel department.

Thanks everyone, and yeah, I love black cars! The Z is the base model with the sport package and a six speed. My WRX was the limited model so it had leather, HID's, fogs, and a "premium" stereo. Not ragging on subaru, but you will never hear a crappier stereo than the impreza system. I have access to another car for the winter, so I don't think the Z will go out in the salt/snow.

Oh please. My 04 didn't even come with a radio at all. ;-p

siiickk welcome!

Welcome!

i made the same switch from a wrx('04 in my case) to a pearl white sport package '13. Ive noticed a few people here that have or had subarus also(guess we all have good taste

).

Definitely agree with you regarding how quick the Z is and how well it handles.

Always have been a subaru fan, but im completely in love with my Z!
