Get the darkest that your state allows. If they don't have a limit, stay 15% or higher. Limo tint (5%) looks mega trashy unless you're driving a maybach.

Make sure the parking brake isn't pulled in the slightest. Even one notch can turn them off. I only have the 15...But noticed that correlation and imagine the 17s might be similar in nature.
Edit: also, headlights probably can't be on. Other than that, ¯\_(***12484;)_/¯ Last edited by supertoast; 02-07-2017 at 06:27 PM. |

Chemical smell - anyone else have this issue?
I have had my 2017 Impreza for a couple of days. There is such a strong chemical smell that I am afraid the garage is going to explode! I did not notice this smell when test driving the car, so wonder if it has to do with the Ziebart rust protection, etc. that I had applied before I picked it up? It is seriously so strong I can smell it inside the house when the car is in the garage. I have driven it 4-5 times thinking it will go away but no so far. It smells like paint or plastic, not sure how to describe it. Anyone else have this issue? Anything to be concerned about?

Couple things I noticed after having to clean the car off a few times due to snow and ice.
1) Windshield washer reservoirs are now under the leading edge of the hood, on the black fascia near the wipers. I like this change a lot. Easier to clean from snow/ice and don't have to worry about scraping the hood clean to expose them (protects paint). 2) Caps that cover the nut that holds the windshield wiper stalk to the car, come off easy. Tapped one a couple times, and pop. Snow got in there, so will have to wait for it to melt to put it back on. --kC |

2 days old
After a seven week wait, I got my '17 Impreza Limited, silver, with Nav, HK, and iSight two days ago.
First impressions: at first I thought there were too many screens in the thing. However, I have warmed up to them. It's nice to be able to keep the nav going on one screen and have the music info on another screen, and vice versa. I played with the lane nudge. At first, it seemed like it wasn't doing anything...I would just glide right out of my lane on the freeway. I checked to make sure that it was on. A couple of tries later, I did feel a slight nudge in the steering wheel, but not enough to keep me in the lane. I'll have to investigate this more over time. I remember when I test drove, that the build quality seemed a little sub par. For instance, right after driving a '17 Legacy, the '17 Impreza seemed to have flimsier doors. Since getting my own, the build quality seems great. Doors seem solid as well as the drive. I'm still babying the engine for the break in period, so I'll be curious to see how the acceleration is when I'm more willing to push it, coming from a zippy manual Mazda6. |

^ Current-gen Mazda6? Those things look niiiice.
For break-in I read that they recommend keeping the revs under 4k for the first 1kmiles. |

Just have to be careful around the base of the stalks when clearing the windshield. I barely touched it with the scraper and it broke. Service ordered me a new cover to replace. I'll take pics of them this afternoon to show what happened. --kC |

Just picked up my MT yesterday. No complaints so far. Enjoying the short shifter and the active torque vectoring. You can really feel the car pulling you through turns. A little loud on the freeway (could be these tires). Also the tilt on the moonroof whistles cause it doesn't go up very high. Impressed with the sport cloth. Waiting on my dealer to set up the leather and tint. Will keep you all updated.

2017 Sport Hatch from a 2014
Just swapped my 2014 Sport Limited Hatch for a 2017 Sport Hatch.
Only 50 miles so far, but wow, it's SO MUCH BETTER!! Steering, handling, display/gauges - fantastic upgrades!! I wish the Sport came with Leather, and I wish there was an extra inch of ground clearance (w/o sacrificing stability). Also, the steering wheel seems smaller in diameter, and I preferred the 2014's for that reason (minor). And, I think the materials used in the 2014 were a bit "beefier"; however, the 2017 is sharp and the driving experience is so much better that all that other stuff is minimal. I got the moonroof + HK Speakers + BSD package, auto-dim int/ext mirrors, cargo tray, cargo net, mats and am happy with all so far. Very happy |

So happy to read this. I feel the same about the Sport. It's a different driving experience. I've done a lot of modifications to other cars I've owned (lowered, sway bars, control Aram, etc.). The Sport stock is fantastic. |

There's a little silver button that releases the key. I'm going to ask the technologist about how to start the car if the push button start doesn't work on Sunday when I meet up with him. |

17's Pricey Fobs & 14's Soft Rims
Quote:
My 2014 rims were soft like butter and stuck out beyond the tire. I think each one was rashed, & I'm pretty careful. Never had rims that were so "delicate" before. Hoping the 2017's are better (& I'll sure be a HECK of a LOT more careful!) |

Fob FYI
For anyone that has the FOB / Keyless system, be sure to check your manual.
In addition to the "this button does that", "that setting does this" sort of info, there are SEVERAL pages on use + cautions. Like, if you wear a pacemaker, stay away from the numerous antennas, and keep the fob away from other electronics (like a cell phone!!) and don't bang it (um, it's usually carried like a key!), don't let it get too hot or too cold or too wet or near this or that, etc etc. It mostly makes "common sense", but I'm so used to old cars with simple metal keys, that I have to change my mindset that this is a chip-embedded, radio frequency, computerized device. Oh, and it's $450+ to replace. Actual convenience / practicality in use is TBD. |
