Well, finally getting around to the show and shine. I have a growing family and I was sick and tired of a crappy interior so I traded in the WRX for a reliable yet fun family vehicle for the next 3 to 5. Bellanova white pearl with the umber interior.
A lot of changes were made to the 2012 plus with the tranny, interior, and most importantly the exterior. I can say without a smile of my face that the car is no longer ugly. Perhaps not the paragon of automotive styling but the looks have really grown on me.
Here are the stats.
60 GB hard disk drive (HDD) Acura Navigation System with trilingual Voice Recognition™, rearview camera‡ with onscreen display guidelines, wallpaper function and illuminated steering wheel-mounted controls
Acura/ELS Surround® 440-watt Premium Audio System with 1-disc CD, DVD-Audio and DTS® changer, AM/FM tuner (RDS-enabled), MP3/Windows Media® Audio compatibility, Dolby® Pro Logic™ II, Song By Voice™ and 10 speakers
GPS-linked, solar-sensing, dual-zone, dual-mode automatic climate control system
Keyless Access System (smart entry and pushbutton ignition) with driver recognition for driver’s seat, side mirrors, climate control and select audio and Navi settings
Rear decklid spoiler
Perforated Premium Milano leather trimmed interior
Available close-ration 6-speed manual transmission (MT)
The Elite Package adds:
19" exclusive aluminum-alloy wheels
Ventilated front seats
Blind spot information (BSI) system
6-speed automatic transmission (AT) with paddle shifters and Grade Logic Control
Early impressions as I've discussed elsewhere in this forum is that this is a really underrated car. It goes like stick and it really handles well.
