My advice? don't give up on the subaru name completely. Stop buying the same car with the first gen CVT. Subaru manual transmissions have a pretty great track record, even the older traditional automatics are pretty bulletproof. It's sad that you've had so many issues, and I understand you're frustration, but try picking up a legacy that's manual, or step back to a 4th gen if you want an auto. I'm sure your faith in subaru would be restored
saw a '13 CBP legacy the other day. I didn't realize that was a thing? It looked like a rental car, so maybe it was a 10-12 in an accident that was replaced with a 13 front clip, painted Bronze.
yeah I dig it. I'm thinking I might plasti-dip them bronze over the powder coat next summer to mix it up a bit. Just realized you're in CO, If you are interested in going the route of powdercoating for a more permanent solution I could give you they name of the place that did mine. They do great work and are very reasonably priced.
Here's a quick one I just snapped. Mind the filthy car. The wheels have more of a Matte finish. They had a more glossy option but I decided to go this route. I also need to get my damn side skirt replaced.

If you look a couple pages back you'll find some pictures of my 2.5i with gray gt rims. They are powder coated a dark gray that has a blueish tint to them which almost color matches the ggm paint. That should give you some reference on what dark gray gt rims looks like on our car
Any 5th gens in the northern Washington area, like Bellingham? Starting to think about college apps, and am really considering Western Washington University.
