              Decided that after this winter I'm taking the ix off daily commuting and winter duty. Driving this thing 30k+ miles a yr for the last 6yrs...it has served me well. Going to freshen it up again in the spring and maybe do a full clean of the undercarriage and coat it. There are only so many salty winters this car can take before it starts deteriorating.

                This means time for a second ix right? But that's pretty much what I had to do with mine, I drive it a lot in the summer but not to much in the snow and salt anymore

                  nah no 2nd ix. Im planning on getting something completely un-moddable. Possibly a non-turbo impreza hatch, hubcaps and all....maybe even an auto so i'm really not tempted. I think the time has come to retire it. Its had a good run!

                    Un-moddable... you don't need that kinda negativity in your life, but the imprezas are pretty nice I had a rs for a long time

                      This sounds like you are going to sell the car to me. What is your definition of retire for this car?

                          yeah the impreza is everything I need in a DD/winter car. AWD, good on gas, big enough to haul what I need...and not terribly ugly

                          a 2008+ 2.5i hatch is what i'm looking to get

                          haha def not garage queen! retire = just not drive it to commute w/ or to Vermont which I frequent in the winter. I plan on driving the thing a lot still....just the elements of daily driving it is starting to take its toll. I live in NY & work in NJ, so I drive roughly 1500 miles/month with the thing just on commuting alone....not to mention all my other misc driving I do. The E30 I've put about 80-100K miles since I've owned it. The E46 M3 I drive in the summer occasionally and I still avg 10-12K miles a yr w/ that. I drive a ton even w/ 2 cars....so a 3rd isn't a crazy idea in my head.

                            Dude I love my 07 Forester. It's an XT/5sp so it's way too moddable, but if you get an X and not an XT it'd be perfect for ya.
