    Is that a custom sunroof? Or was it a factory option?

    Nice car man/girlfriend! :)

    On that year, a sunroof was part of the Premium package.

    Hawk is 06/07.

    The 04/05 is a peanut/blob/Hyundai. :laugh:

    Very nice - I really wish I had a moonroof. One thing I really really miss from my old car.

    Help fellas...Im in Madison at the dealer and I just test drove the car. It looks great but driving is a different story. There is alot of compressor surge and even after 3000rpms there is a hesitation in the power band (I'll have it wot and it almost feels like the car is misfiring). Its slightly noticeable but I know power is being lost somewhere. The turbo spool sounds alot louder than any stock wrx I've driven and Im wondering if I should leave this car alone. If I needed to replace the turbo, is that something I should consider? Sucks that I drove 5 hours and the salesman said it was immaculate but oh well, I need to answer this question quickly. Also, when Im driving there is a slight ticking (transmission feels great, car has 60k). Im planning on bringing it to a subaru dealership tomorrow morning to have it checked out.

    Interior/exterior wise the car is great but theres just those two problems. The slight ticking when Im driving (it goes away when I push in the clutch), the turbo spool is very noticeable, and the delay in the powerband (hope im wording this in a way that it can be translated)
