Congrats on the purchase! Am I the only who's disappointed with mpg (for MT) figures though? the V6 mustang manages 29mpg with all its power and heft.

Congrats on the pre-order, I really like the new engine design with the oil filter right on top of the engine. In a lite little RWD car it should have plenty of power and be a blast to drive. My only complaint is that the engine has EL headers so no rumble 
But oh well, it's all about the twisties anyway.

Yes! I love that design as well, it's like an oil relocation kit from the factory.

They can have the automatic inventory! I'm surprised Subaru made an auto trans an option in this car since they are transmission ****'s. I can't stand how you can't get the newer Fozzy XT's in manual, and it's funny that they don't have an auto trans option for the new WRX's and LGT's(this I don't mind though

Yeah the MPG leave something to be desired.. But I'll be happy if I can get 26-28mpg out of it. I'm actually quiet interested in getting it tuned for E85 to see what kind of hp gains it would get. And if it has a ECU program like the impreza I don't see why it couldn't get tuned by a local shop.
