I'm about 50 miles north of Albany. Glad i'm not out near Buffalo!

 

yea it's absolutely horrible here right now.

 

I haven't watched any news or weather since last night. Is it still snowing?

 

Still snowing good, it's a mess up here.

 

I have decided not to go with another Mini. Reasons:
1- I am tired of having to drive an hour to get to the dealer.
2- I have never been thrilled with the service - car never done on time, just got the feeling they didn't care how much of my time was wasted sitting around. I spent one entire day there - 9am-3pm!
3- I really miss having AWD and don't really want Mini's offerings in this area.
4- I tried out the new WRX and really like it.
5- I have developed a really good relationship with the owners of my local Subaru dealership. They are really great folks and are more honest and upfront than you could imagine.

My insurance company gave me the numbers on my Mini. I need to get back to them next week. They listed that I don't have the panoramic sunroof, no heated seats, no BT or the upgraded sound system. The spice orange was $500 extra and I didn't see anything about that either. I am going to scan my window sticker and email to them. They have "assumed" the mileage on the car is at 41,000. I don't know if it can be verified but it was between 32k and 33k at the time of the crash.

 

I haven't driven the '15 WRX but I've had a few spirited test drives in the 08-14 range. They're a blast, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. Life's too short to drive the same car for too long Enjoy

 

I came from a 2014 WRX to an MCS and hopefully this weekend to a JCW. Anyways, go for the 2015 WRX! Totally new chassis, motor. Gets better gas mileage than the 2011-2014 wrx's. 2015 STI is still using the same engine from 2000ish. Good luck!

 

You can get a key read at the dealer it will show actual mileage the last time key was in ignition.
