Premium Package on 04' WRX

what does it consist of? I know it includes spoiler, moonroof, de-icers, and heated seats. Does it have leather seats, heated outside mirrors? Thanks for the input.

You got pretty much everything. It does also have the heated mirrors.

Spoiler, moonroof, heated mirrors, heated seats, heated wipers. I have the premium package and love it. I had the moonroof open on a nice 65 degree saturday, and then the heated seats on a cold rainy day today. :-)

It does not include leather seats. I think they might be available outside the US. Some dealers in the US offer them, and have them put in before you take delivery. There are also companies that make leather seat covers for the WRX if you want to do it yourself aftermarket. I understand it is a tough job though.

I have the 04 Premium.
It has all the stuff you mentioned.

The heated steats are really nice - but if it doesnt really get cold where you are, I can see why they wouldnt be that appealing. But they heat up quickly and have a Low and High setting.

The other is a wiper de-icer and heated mirror package. The wipers and side mirrors are free of ice and snow in ~ 5 minutes. That quite sweet when you are late for work. By the time you scrape off the rest of the car, the mirrors and wipers are ready to go.

I live in PA, and have used all this cold weather gear - and it has been worth the money. PLUS I get a free moonroof out of the deal. :banana:

Leather seats are not available in the US.

But - that's up to you. Good luck.

That's pretty much why I got mine too... I live in Eastern Pa, and the heated mirrors, wipers and seats are awesome. THe moonroof is nice, but you may want to avoid it if you are taller. It does cut down on the headspace. I am 5' 9" so it doesnt bother me.

Rock - I am 6'2" w/o any problems with the moonroof. Maybe if you are REALLY tall.

The premium package is not worth the cost. Way too much money for not much. I would rather look to modifications instead of the luxuries.

What's the differrence in price between the premium package and the regular Rex? Just wondering? Don't need them as here it never goes below 70's during the day and 65 at night.

That's your opinion, but what may not be worth it to you is worthwhile to others. If someone wants a nice power moonroof, heated seats, heater mirrors, heated wipers, and the spoiler... would it be cheaper to do it aftermarket?
