i regret nothing.

holy shit.

can confirm i will try and clutch pedal a non clutch pedal car, as my regular daily has 3 of them and none of the other cars I have been in a position to drive otherwise do.

except it doesnt.  its included in areas that wont get beat to fuck.

Yeah... I actually daily a wrx (my second one in fact).

I will give Cadillac its due... this car is phenomenal in every respect.

on my third manual personally (one civic, two wrx’s).  Can it be a pain at times?  Absofuckinglutely.  Every other time its fun.  Note this is a 32mi commute one way in the morning.  

in the rust belt one must always remember to hit the car wash with the underbody spray.

hell my 2018 wrx is at 72k.  Its far from one of the most reliable models either.

subaru oem plugs are NGK’s. however they want ngks of a specific model for very specific gapping which is probably the more important aspect of why frankly.  and well if its good enough for oem from the factory eh why not.

You can drive just not batshit crazy take it easy till you see either your oil temp gauge if you have one (mine starts reading at 85*) or the coolant gauge moving. granted the coolant gauge will start moving sooner than the oil temp will however.

Time OR distance is still a very relevant thing. So no you are not insane at all.

its so the “cost of maintenance” is lower.

or less children. 

studded tires? :)

extreme contact dws06's would beg to differ with this assertion. 

Thats all of the cute-utes (barring subarus). 

I do 5k even though the manual specs 6k OCI’s.... Im like yes the engineers are probably very correct, but they or me cannot account for all things.  So I split the difference and do it at 5k.  Dumb... probably, but I can afford a 35.00 oil change 1k earlier than I can a shortblock.

Both the wrx and sti come with summer tires from the factory since ~2010

every single subaru system?
