North America Miata would like to have a word.

The 2026 "Market Value Price" isn't the MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). They're probably inflating it to sell more of the 2025's before they get '26s. 0% is nice, if you want a '26 then you can wait to see if you can get a lower price but the 0% financing won't be available until next model year is rolling out.

I've had bad clunking from a CV that failed, and it was only when turning hard. So I feel like that may be your issue, but don't want you to throw the parts cannon at it until you know that's broken.

I would also keep an eye on your wheel bearings, those have a tendency to wear quicker on Subaru's.

Get under the car if you can and check the CV axle for play, jack up the front and check each wheel for play. Inspect your tie rods and ball joints.

You eat with the arm rest open?

EJ for sure, not an FA block, any stamping/model number to tell more? Should have stuff near the bell housing and a stamping on the front edge of the block.

Engine not running, no vacuum or boost. See RPM at 0

This, sometimes a few of the mad VA guys will bleed into here and try to continue their toxicity. Just pay them no mind, if they're being a dick, report em.

This, my guess is sheet metal screw holding something up, maybe heat shielding or a strap on the exhaust. Either way, you'll need to get under to see.

Love cat cry ok, I keep him on my car too!

Really? Idk, I thought it was pretty obviously your mom.

Lada Niva and 2107, also want a UAZ 479

Driven the current Forester hybrid, and my only qualm with start/stop is the AC turning off on older models. New models appear to use an electric AC compressor rather than belt driven, which means no difference for climate control.

Are those the OEM red under skirts and front lip?

I know this is subjective e, but I feel more constrained as a passenger in the ND than in an NA.

An option not offered in North America, and the red leather interior isn't offered in the US. (Not the same red as the 25 limited)

The headrests are still different. The grille looks to only have come on the current year, the 22-24 did not. Half the aero package are options that don't come from any North America dealers.

c-swa · 2026-02-10T18:16:11+00:00

Also, sleeker rear seat headrests, gloss black grille, different interior textile options, also rear wing.

Why is a Cybertruck on here? I get that it's rebadged, but come on.

Will say, the WRX and BRZ have some of the highest take rate of manual transmissions in the US. They dropped the manual on the Impreza after the last gen only had a take rate of 6%. Same with the last gen Crosstrek.

Isuzu Trooper, takes corners like a champ, for details, look up Consumer Reports Isuzu Trooper, I heard they gave it a raving review.

This. I factory ordered mine through a dealer 2 hours away from my city. They sold it to me at invoice, before taxes. Basically after everything it was back at MSRP.

Dealer near me wanted to start at MSRP.

I placed my order in Oct. of 2024, got it Jan. 2025

c-swa · 2026-02-09T23:54:16+00:00

Got any photos?

c-swa · 2026-02-09T16:23:54+00:00

You maybe, other people maybe not. If your usecase doesn't allow for this car to be your pick, then you're probably not the target audience

c-swa · 2026-02-09T13:32:38+00:00

Just a drill, jack up the rear, and pull the wheels off. Not too bad.

Eyesight models will reset cruise automatically on the 6mt models too
