It is mostly stock. It had a cargo net in the back, an air filter (whatever), and the cross bar kit. The cross bar kit was important cause I want to get a ski and bike rack for when I go to the mountains. So far the car is sweeeeet. The drive in to work this morning was very fun (even though I am keeping it under 4K rpms). Can I say again that I can't wait to get through the break-in period! I'm just achin to hear how the engine sounds at 8K rpms.

I just bought a car from ol' Phil on Saturday. I got what I thought was a reasonable price, but I can't say too many good things about Phil. Not very knowledgeable and he seemed to have an attitude thing going. It turned out my wife was thinking the same thing about him. Herb Gordon is close to me and the price was good enough, and I didn't feel like going to VA to find the car I wanted. I just wasn't thrilled giving Phil the sales commission. Oddly, on his wall he had gold and platinum sales awards. Go figure. Maybe it was a bad day.

Car Info: 03 WRX s/w

Got a WRX Wagon from Fitzgerald in Gaithersburg. Brian Channin helped me. Very pleasant dealing with him. Found it best to do research on their website to find available models and options. Their other locations can be checked also. Side note: If you want to see a vehicle at another Fitzgerald location, it would be good to call ahead. I speak from experience. I didn't call and things did not go smoothly.
Got the wagon without additional options. So far, the performance has been plenty good for how I drive. Any suggestions for basic mods? Would like to get Yakima Lowrider rack clamps. They are lockable and with the Yakima round bar, all their accessories can be installed without adaptors. Unless I'm mistaken, Yakima makes the Suby rack accessories- sans the non-round crossbars.
Hoping to find good service at Fitzgerald Gaithersburg.
