NEW FOR 2013

No changes announced

Colors-  Lightning Red has been dropped, Obsidian Black has been replaced by Crystal Black

Maybe Next Year, repeated  things that would be good to have on the 2014s since we didn't get them for 2013s

#1 Who wants summer tires? Put all season tires back on the cars. If you intend to race the car you'll probably want different tires anyway
Tire pressure monitors should be self registering so a technician isn't required each time one swaps wheels/monitors
Keep the rubber rear bumper cover on 5 doors- don't switch to the thin clear vinyl/mylar one like on other models
The All Weather Package should include the rear cargo/trunk tray and the all weather rubber floor mats
Power driver seat on Limited models

Brake Assist, boosts the brake power when the driver cannot depress the brake pedal strongly and the brake power is insufficient. Brake assist generates the brake power according to the speed at which the driver depresses the brake pedal.
Note: When you depress the brake pedal strongly or suddenly, the following may occur. However, even though these occur, they do not indicate any malfunctions, and the brake assist system is operating properly. 1) You might feel that the brake pedal is applied by lighter force and generates a greater braking force. 2) You might hear clicking (knocking) sounds around brake pedal.

Summer tire and what it means tires designed for warmer temperatures and high stress use and are not good in inclement weather. The rubber compound does not maintain elasticity in cold weather. This means the grip level of the tire is less in cold temperatures even on dry pavement. In the cold a summer tire becomes unpredictable and feels slippery when cornering no matter what the weather. This problem is compounded in wet or snowy conditions.

HD Radio
Digital radio broadcast signal for improved clarity

The ‘HD’ in ‘HD Radio’ is part of iBiquity Digital’s brand name for its digital AM and FM radio technology.
It does not mean either hybrid digital or high definition, it is simply the branding language for this new technology.
HD Radio broadcasting is free, there are no subscription fees.
You can get digital AM and FM stations, including HD2 and HD3 multicast channels.
HD Radio broadcasting is your favorite local AM and FM stations broadcasting digitally, producing radically improved sound.
Very clear. AM radio sounds like FM, and FM radio sounds like a CD.
Unwanted pops, hisses and dropouts are a thing of the past with an HD Radio receiver."
HD2 multicasting means more FM channels and new programming available from local FM stations, which you can only hear on your new HD Radio receiver.
Across the country, local FM stations are offering a wide variety of new formats on their HD2 channels: reggae, blues, classic jazz, future country, new alternative, deep tracks, bluegrass and local artists.
The service includes iTunes Tagging. iTunes Tagging lets you capture information about a song on the radio and store it on your iPod by pushing the "Tag" button on the HD Radio receiver. When your iPod is connected to iTunes, a list of tagged songs will appear which can be previewed, purchased, and downloaded.

Towing Towing a trailer- is not recommmended with an Impreza and no factory trailer hitch is available. Unofficially, if you are going to tow with an Impreza anyway, check and maintain all fluids and tune-up specs, and keep weight and speeds down, and of course have a reputable hitch installer install it on your car. Warranties might be affected by towing.

Towing the car- a flatbed is always recommended when towing your Subaru. A manual transmission can be towed with all wheels on the ground behind a tow truck or motorhome for example, but never with just 2 wheels on the ground.
An automatic can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground in an emergency for a short distance (under 31 miles) at very slow speed (under 20mph). A flatbed is strongly preferred.

How to get a car
inventory, dealer trade, ordering

Inventory -   Dealers are offered cars for inventory a month or so in advance. The quantity can vary from month to month. Most cars will have a  extra options or upgrades and usually these are features that are popular in the area.  Some, but only a few, will not have any extras at all. Cars in stock are available for immediate purchase and dealers might be more motivated to move them.

"Dealer trade" or "locate". This is when a dealer looks for a vehicle in another dealer's inventory and then trades cars, ie swaps cars, with that dealer.
This means the requesting dealer has to have a car the other dealer will accept back in trade.
There are many people at the dealerships and at Subaru involved in the process.
The vehicle is usually driven from the other location. This can take place within days if a vehicle is already in stock someplace.

Pre-sell, incoming: You wait for a vehicle the dealer already has incoming in their system.

Order:
If you really want a specific vehicle, you can order it. Subaru requires customer information and a deposit.
Once ordered Subaru will give an expected delivery Month.
Within 2-5 weeks, there will be date, an ETA, an estimated time of arrival.  This is not a promise the car will there on a specific day or week and the frequently changes. Your dealer can watch for updates.

Orders are filled as the right model, tranmission, and color is available, on a first order in, first filled  basis.
Usually a vehicle arrives at a dealer within 5-10 weeks (typically 7-8), but delays can happen at any point along the assembly and shipping process, so be patient.
If you are requesting a popular car with a waiting list, or an uncommon car,  it can take longer.

If a certain individual option or accessory is not available for installation, the car will still be sent to the dealer. The accessory can then be added by the dealer but the cost might change.
The dealer wants you to get your car as quickly as you want to get it!
