Re: Another year & I'm gone..

The WRX STI is nice, but you are going to have problems as Moto said. Ironically, the first gen of WRXs in the states were the most reliable. As they started to use the 2.5 liter, things got less and less reliable. It's also going to get crappy mileage all while guzzling premium. I'm a big Subaru fa...

Re: LED tail lights

The brake lights looks dim because of the angle of the camera shot. Had I been seated in a car behind the mazda, then the brake lights would appear bright and the center light, not so much.

Re: Hi. New owner here.

Yeah, I was thrilled to learn that it had HIDs when I checked it out. I have an aftermarket HID kit on my low beams on my Mazda so I was spoiled by it. I really think it's one of those things you need once you tried it. Haha. The Kizashi has probably a 6000K low beam. I have 4300K on my Mazda which ...
