solved.

 

Remote hood and trunk release would lead me to believe you can open the hood or trunk someone other than standing at the hood or trunk, like sitting in the drivers seat. Remote means somewhere other than that location, it doesn't necessarily push button release from outside of the car.

 

exactly correct. Remote doesn't mean wireless, it just means from a location other the point where the action is happening. In this case, from the lever next to the driver seat and the lever on the dash.

 

ah I see, thanks for clearing that up, I just don't see why that would even need to be listed. but I guess you do what you can to sell your car huh.

 

I have an '06 WRX sedan, too, and the remote trunk and hood release are convenience features. My wife used to have a '96 Geo Prizm, and it did not have either remote trunk or gas cap levers. You had to stand in front of the trunk keyhole to open the trunk with the key, and you had to stand by the gas cap door and lift it open to get at the gas cap.

I have always understood remote hood and trunk release (as well as remote gas cap) to mean what Subaru has intended.

 

interior/exterior sealant. I hope the dealer added it free

 

Seriously, it's called Clear Coat.

Did he pay for undercoating too? What about rust prevention?

Didn't someone around here have a bridge for sale?




I keed, I keed

 

You'd be surprised at how many cars do not have trunk levers next to the driver's seat. When I was working at America's Tire Co. I found out just how many there really were, considering the only time we opened trunks were to put spare tires away. It was about a year ago, but iirc, it seemed that a lot of the lower end american cars don't come with any, and BMW has their easy trunk pop by pushing the keyhole in or having a latch next to the license plate.

 

a lot of cars have a release in the glove box
