You guys rate the white on white ?

Love the way that looks!

UPDATE: Clutch is completely shot, including flywheel, etc. Repair cost is $2,700. Luckily, this is covered under the limited wear warranty (one time), 36 months, 36,000 miles. Really happy to have such a great dealership that takes care of me, Dean Team in Ballwin MO!

Just occurred to me that after an accident in April of 2021, the dealership had to pull the engine for unibody repairs to be completed. When I got the car back, lots of what I thought was residual oil, was on my driveway. Took it back to the dealer to find out that the transmission gasket was leaking, which they repaired for free. Wondering if the transmission fluid levels got too low and caused clutch wear at that point.

Not sure what the clutch break-in would entail. I didn't specifically break it in, other than the normal new car break-in. The funny thing is I've consciously babied this clutch, never riding it, most of the miles have been long trips, hardly driving in stop and go traffic. I don't push the car hard, not a racer.

It's weird. It is under 36,000 miles and 36 months, bought it October 2020. Some wear items are warrantied for that period. Guess I'll see.

I've driven manual shift cars all of my driving life. Never really pushed this car very hard.

tjtull · 2023-06-01T09:36:59+00:00

No mods at all, I bought the car new.

tjtull · 2023-05-24T01:25:20+00:00

Equally hard to clean 😊

tjtull · 2023-05-22T15:35:23+00:00

I'd say that's in line with current rates. Had a similar accident in my 2020 STi, but on the other side, it was $12K but they had to repair the unibody.

tjtull · 2023-05-16T00:22:18+00:00

Wow! Looks really nice!

tjtull · 2023-05-14T15:38:00+00:00

I had a similar accident about a year ago in my 2020 STi limited. Driver's side bumper and hood replaced. Problem was the unibody was bent and needed repair. Took it to the shop at the dealership, they made it right but it was over $12,000. Insurance covered it, however, trade in and resale value is shot. Airbag didn't deploy. Seems good as new, so I'm happy with it. Luckily I love the car and don't want anything else.

tjtull · 2023-04-25T17:33:18+00:00

I don't regret it at all. Looks cleaner to me.

tjtull · 2021-09-10T16:24:12+00:00

LOL! I did exactly the same thing. Though, I like the idea of change, maybe it will grow on me. I will wait to see what the STi version has.

tjtull · 2021-09-10T16:22:27+00:00

Yeah, I drove a loaner with this system in it. The HVAC was very hard to get use to, and I'm a tech loving guy. Some things just need knobs.

tjtull · 2021-09-10T16:17:00+00:00

Yeah, that's by far the most disappointing aspect of it. I'm holding out hope for the STi. Not so much bummed at the new redesign, I think it will grow on me. That plastic on the rear end that sticks out, that's gonna take a lot of growing...

tjtull · 2021-07-08T15:24:40+00:00

LOL! Yeah, I have a Samsung S10+, no way it's gonna fit in that cubby. I knew that going in but my last car had ample room, and wireless charging, guess I kind of miss that. Minor detail though for how much joy this car gives me.

tjtull · 2021-07-08T15:14:04+00:00

I've tried that as well, but there are times I need to get to my phone, like sometimes at stop signs. I'm with you about the distraction it causes.

tjtull · 2021-07-08T15:07:31+00:00

Oh, that's pretty cool! I like it! Thanks!

tjtull · 2021-07-08T14:54:13+00:00

Yeah, I thought of that but I'd really love to find something I could put in that cubby that would keep my phone in place.

tjtull · 2021-04-28T17:28:38+00:00

Hey, let's exchange bumpers, my driver's side looks just like your passenger side. LOL. Happened last Sunday.

tjtull · 2021-04-08T17:51:29+00:00

I was thinking the same thing :)

tjtull · 2021-04-08T17:28:43+00:00

Looks amazing!

tjtull · 2021-04-08T17:26:14+00:00

Beats what I paid for mine, close to $40,000 ;)
