Consumer Reports bases its reliability ratings on surveys returned by its readers. It's not a truly random sample in that CR readers are self-selected. But their data has proven to be pretty solid over the years. Also worth nothing that CR is not beholden to the automakers the way just about...

Welcome! Mine also showed up today. Hopefully taking it home tomorrow.

Yup, it's there. I'm heading out shortly to go up, see it, sit in it, maybe lick it, and do the paperwork. Barring a goatf*** of some sort, I'll pay for it tomorrow and drive it home.

HOLY. Calling them now.

Dood. I've got an '18 Fronty PRO-4X. It has literally been my "learn to wheel" vehicle. I got it in auto for two reasons: 1) As you say, it just seemed the better trans for off-roading. 2) I was in early 50s when I got it, and I was starting to be afflicted by "Old Person Sporadic Sudden...

Nope. Last talked to my sales guy on Monday the 5th, and it had not yet hit the local rail yard. I'm just being patient. The knowledge that it is actually moving has calmed me down. And at this point the closer delivery gets to Christmas the cooler it gets.

I went through that phase, LOL. I agree with the advice to hang in there. My dealer actually set pretty good expecations when I placed my order. They told me 8-10 months. I placed my order 8 months and 5 days ago. But this would have been easier if it was wait for 7.5 months for it to be...

It's a "pure" sports car. The only legit Miata competitor I know of (excluding that Miata-based Fiat abomination). It's bigger, with a back "seat". Juuust over 400 lbs heavier than a Miata RF. But "big" is relative. It's still 200 lbs lighter than a base Cayman. More power than a Miata...

"When". I like your optimism.

Congrats and welcome!

Page 264 of the CT4 owner's manual PDF: PTM (Performance Traction Management) (If Equipped) PTM controls vehicle performance systems for professional handling on race tracks. And on page 262 it gives a chart of Driver Mode Control options that shows PTM is only available in Track mode. EDIT...

I don't have much snow experience. But I've read multiple tests over the years that all conclude that 2WD on snow tires is better than AWD on all season tires. Here's one Consumer Reports did in 2015: Do You Really Need AWD in the Snow? - Consumer Reports

Not yet! I have faith, tho. Just knowing it is actually in transit has relaxed me tremendously.

o7 fellow NASIOC refugee. I traded my '18 STI in to my dealer in July. My 4BW is on a train and due any day now.

My first draft actually did have an "except maybe the BRZ" qualification, LOL. But the BRZ is on the table, maybe, only because of the new engine. Tuning on the old engine would have been a deal-breaker. I kept my '17 WRX less than a year because of the engine. All that said, I'd only...

Subaru has played the same game. Pursuing market share while increasingly disappointing the core markets that made it popular to begin with. But every car maker can't expand indefinitely. So is it a better long-term strategy to lock in a smaller market who loves you, or have a larger market...

That's the same cylinder in which Mcard23's car ate a plug. And the same cylinder that was most rekt when Car and Driver's car blew up.

I literally took my old Evo VIII through parts of Mexico and was too scared to go over the speed limit.

Placed my order exactly 8 months ago today. And today was my most recent EDD. The rodeo continues. But at least now it is on a train. Choo-choo!

Today is my EDD. Spoke to my sales guy a couple of days ago and it had not yet hit the rail yard here, so pretty sure I won't be picking it up tonight. This only mildly sucks compared to when I went from having an EDD back to DELAYED. The "Why the f*** is it still sitting" stage was by far...
