My friend has bought many Subarus from this dealer. He also told him how nice my Contour is. The fellow I dealt with was also the owner and said he was going to keep the Contour for one of his kids. Who really knows? But it's much easier trading the car in and driving out with a new one! First 1000 miles are kept under 4000rpm so break in is involved. The car I test drove also had the short shift kit which felt great! I shall keep you updated.
