2011 Impreza xv (BG11XV)

Hey everyone

Time came to get a new car for a few reasons, the wagon would never get completed while having to use it for daycare runs and getting to work .

So the plan is to park the wagon in the new carport now that we have moved to a house where I have a drive through garage to a huge carport. I can work on it there installing all the rare bits and suspension upgrades and get a few bits repainted then sell it as a complete car, it’s pretty much ready to go for a turbo conversion for someone to do.

After a long time hating new cars in general it taken me the last 3 years to decide what I would buy.

I did not want another wagon and sedan was too small for boot space, and I wanted something with flares, so I chose a 2011 Impreza xv as I liked the 08 wrx my mate had for a while.

But of course, changing it up my own my a bit.

Don’t really care about performance but since going from a 2.5 to a 2.0 I midas well make It feel quick
