    After 9 costly years of Owning Audi's I decided it was time for a WRX. Last night I purchased a 2014 Hatchback in WRB. It's been less than 24 hours and I am in love with the car!

    So Subaru Owners, what things do I need for my car? FYI I am not looking to mod it anytime soon.

    Welcome to MNsubaru! Congrats on your purchase too! I wish I had chosen the hatchback over the sedan. Really my only regret.

    Just keep up on regular maintenance, and youll be fine.

    Welcome and congrats on the purchase! Get a set of winter tires/rims and put some mudflaps on that beast!

    Excellent choice! When I move on from the bugeye, i will be looking for exactly that!

    The only thing that you "need" for your car is to get it signed up for the LaXCruise in July! ;)

    Welcome!

    Thanks guys, she's in pristine condition and I'll be treating her well. I want this car to last a long time. At least until Subaru comes back out with a WRX hatchback again

    Even though you don't want to mod it, I would highly recommend getting the car tuned. They run dangerously lean from the factory and have a propensity to pop ringlands.
    NF Performance, DB Performance in Rogers, or RS Motors in Burnsville.
    Get another set of wheels and put a dedicated performance snow tire on them. Good set of summer performance tires on the other set of wheels.
    Then, sway bars, struts, brakes, fuel pump, injectors, more tune, intake, .... you see where this is going. :)
    Have fun, bring it an autocross, you will really have a good time!

    Hey Michael, welcome aboard! We were talking on Facebook the other night until Miguel's hissy fit got deleted. Plenty of good info on here to be had, there are a number of us (myself included) who've been around Subarus for over a decade

    Also, if you do a search on here for the members Miguel and 02 WRX you'll be able to see why Miguel had a less than stellar experience here before he got banned. Short version, don't be an idiot and you'll do just fine :)
