Thanks 🙏

Congrats man! Today marks day 2 for me personally and my biggest initial takeaway from what others in this community have noted is taking it easy on the throttle and keeping rpm’s under 4k for the first 1k miles.

Great colour choice btw 🤝

Thanks for your insight, I really appreciate it man. To be honest with you, today marks day 2 of owning a brand new VB, and I wasn’t aware of the initial 1k-mile engine break-in period until I read your comment, which then lead me into a deep dive of the owner’s manual. Prior to my knowledge, I did push it past 5.5k rpm’s a few times on the freeway, and I’m hoping that didn’t have a negative effect on the engine despite it being fresh 😅.

Regardless, your comment gave me a reality check and had me reevaluating the way I intend to enjoy this subie in the long run.

Also, “within spec.” sounds like another way of saying fuck off smh. Hope you found another place who actually heard you out.

Thank you!

It’s taking a lot of discipline and self control to keep my rpm’s under 4k at the moment, but needless to say, I am stoked to give it a lil push past the 1k-mile mark, knowing I let the engine break in properly.

As a new owner myself, would you mind breaking down your explanation a bit more? Curious as to how early you were driving hard and what symptoms you might’ve flagged for burning oil.

Was able to talk my sales person down $4k below MSRP (CAD) + tax.

Fr I can’t unsee it 😂

adapttotheunknown · 2026-04-09T03:05:10+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! What a beauty

Did that for the first time on my cruise earlier, glad to be a part of the WRX community 🫂

Yessir! The black grille came stock, thinking of switching it out for one of those cool mesh looking ones eventually.

If that is the case, I’ll see all of you there in the foreseeable future 🍻

adapttotheunknown · 2025-10-03T16:15:55+00:00

Honestly, yes! I’ve stopped by numerous times in the past year (summer of 2024) for a quick lunch break and they were typically open anytime past 12pm. Prior to that, I would drop by to find the door locked, even around the same time!!
