    Picked up our new DGM STI last week from Morries BP. Had to put a deposit down on it a month ago - sight unseen. Little scary buying a car that way but there just are not any STI's around to look at. We started looking for a WRX with CVT but never did find one. My wonderful wife agreed the 6 speed was the way to go so we jumped to the STI. Loving it so far! We had a 2004 WRX that we bought new and had it 8 years, longest I have kept a car so it was easy going back to a Subaru IMG_1640.JPG

    Well it has been awhile since I have visited regularly (when I had the 04 WRX). Back then I bought wheels & exhaust from local members, got help going to stage 2, etc.
    Went on one cruise to La Crosse - would have been fun to catch that this year with the new car

    Who was your sales person? I wanted to get the DGM, but went for what was available instead and got black.

    Rob, good guy to deal with. Yeah it was tough once we decided on the STI not to be able to even see one, I was looking at dealers inventory all over the state, even considered going to Colorado for awhile. We could have ordered one but that would have been at least 3 months. Very happy with our choice now, I polished & waxed the car and it really looks nice

    Congrats!
    I also got my '15 DGM STI from BP Morries sight unseen last year... though I had to wait like 3-4 months...
    My previous Subie was also an '04 WRX, WRB. Then I had a '13 Gen Coupe 2.0T R-Spec which I was not too crazy about.
    You're gonna love this STI :thumbup:

    Congrats! My wife and I picked up a '15 DGM Ltd. back in the beginning of May from Morries Minnetonka Subaru (Putnam), we both love it! For some reason I love the wheels on the non-Ltd. version more than I do the lighter weight BBS on the Ltd. we have, I should try to find another set or find someone that wants to trade.

    I would be interested in trading if you are serious (tires only have 400 miles on them!), I am looking for winter wheels & tires now but I do like the limited wheels.
    We probably would have got a limited if there where any around, my wife really wanted the keyless entry - we traded in a BMW 328 and that's what she misses
