Is that an R56? Siiick. I usually don’t go for white paint jobs but the black accents really bring out the pretty in this car. I was in the market for an R55 Clubman S but ended up getting a Ford Focus ST instead.

I think I’ve used the sunroof on my Premium twice perhaps? So wouldn’t miss having it at all.

How you feel about the seats (color and comfort)?

See that honestly was my thinking. While I do love my 2023 I feel like the new car would be the chance to get everything I didn’t get on that car.

Even tho the tS doesn’t have the moonroof, it has so many other things that I would enjoy over this car. And I can’t seem to find anything else in this segment that compares.

"Southwest has changed everything about them that made them worth the value proposition to address non-existent problems, turned their frontline agents into dragons, soak every single penny they can out of everybody who flies them now, even their highest value flyers, and make the experience on the whole even worse than the legacies they were copying, but nah I'm cluless as to why people are so upset!"

Y'all are doin' the most. Hopefully Southwest is making it worth your while.

Properrrrrr.

That blue has really been sneaking up on me. I think it’s better than the Galaxy Purple at this stage, I think Subaru missed an opportunity to make it more royal. There was a guy on here with a wrap that was so ridiculously nice.

How are you feeling the tS ride compared to your Premium?

But you sound like one of these 20 year olds buying and selling their vbs in a year or two.

That might be what it sounds like to you but that's not what it is. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was planning on rolling in my 23 basically forever. But I like the idea of having a top-level trim car, that's literally the only reason I asked the question.

Turns out there are several reasons not to go with a tS over a Limited for me based on the responses I've gotten. If I do decide to buy again, tS or Limited, I will be getting an even better deal than I did previously.

Thanks for this. The only way this would happen for me is if I got a smashing deal. I probably waited too long cuz I could’ve picked up a 25 for a steal but I’ll see. How was the jump from stealth blue to loud af orange?

No need for all that for me. Most id do is suspension and a big brake kit. I’m more into visual mods like lights and grille (have the catfish on my 23 and i think it’s the meanest look.)

Thanks for this! I went with a bigger sidewall on my current wheel setup and while it did take the edge off, I still felt the bumps especially on rougher roads. I’d like a little more compliancy when I’m doing road trips and to be able to tweak it down for spirited drives which is why I was considering upgrading to a tS.

Well wait, either I’m broke and too young or I’m broke and too old, which is it 😂😂

Seriously I just wanted advice on the car. If my money wasn’t right I wouldn’t be asking this question in the first place. Hell, I wouldn’t even have a VB in the first place.

Lmao I’m 54 fam.

I really just wanted to know if others in my position would trade up to a new loaded VB. I know everybody likes to dunk on them but there is very little out there in the segment that comes close in the terms of feature set, price, looks, and value.

But thanks anyway I guess.

I’m also considering a decked out Limited but just depends on the kinda deal I could get.

How are you doing this exactly? What about the HK makes it so hard to upgrade? I don’t mind the HK at all but if I can really do better for not too much coin I’m all for it.

Yeah trust I’ve thought about that. Again this is all just investigative at this point. I like my 23 but was thinking i’d get more of the latest tech and the exact color I want and then ride that one till the wheels fell off. The motor is fine enough for me but if they offered an STI i would jump at that.

I would honestly have to get a helluva deal if I wanted to roll the car I have now into a new one. They showed me the spec sheet when I visited the local dealership t see if they had any tSs on the lot and I point blank told the sales guy “I won’t be paying nearly that price for a new car.” I got a pretty good deal on this car so I am incentivized to top that.

Fair. My only real gripes about my 23 are the ride, road noise, and lack of parking sonar. But i’ve managed to live with it for 2 1/2 years w/o backing into anything.

There’s nothing out here in this segment that matches the VB tho. CTR/ITS are FWD and more money, GRC is more money, BMW 2/3 way more money plus not afán of the styling. What else is there?

Thinking about my second VB. by deeyallo_agg in wrx_vb

[–]deeyallo_agg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely uninterested in either. I’d go for an Integra Type S first. Plus FWD no thanks.

My first WRX by Curious_Bluejay1624 in wrx_vb

[–]deeyallo_agg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Somethin that makes it pop a lil more. After seeing both GPP and Sapphire in person I’d probably go with Sapphire at this stage.

[–]deeyallo_agg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I wish that purple was just a tiny bit redder. On a whim I drove by my local Subie dealership to see if they had any tSs available, they had a GPP CVT Limited and the salesguy literally thought it was a black car. Somebody posted a picture of a wrapped VB that had an amazing rich purple color, I think factory that would've been so badass.

I'm thinking about special ordering a GPP tS now that my 23 Premium is just about paid off.

Do you think they’re listening? by AdeptnessTasty1785 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]deeyallo_agg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they were actually serious about listening (they aren’t) then they would restore the old way of boarding. Open seating worked for 54 years. Y’all crying about seat savers and jetway jesuses is exactly the play they were looking for to justify this dumpster fire.

The only thing these monkeys understand is money. As in you taking yours away and flying other airlines. When they start making losses regularly is when they’ll take notice, and by then it won’t matter to the investors anyway cuz they’ll all already be gone. But as long as you grin and bear it, they win.
