On that same website, it suggests that only 491 of the 500 WR1's and 289 of the 320 RB320's......do you think people have bought them unregistered and stuck them in the Garage?

Hi Mikey,
Picked it up this morning.....love it already!
Got it wrong, it is number 59. Just couple of quick questions if you don’t mind?
I have never had a new car or needed to run in, so if this is a stupid question I apologise. I have been doing as instructed and not gone over 3k rpm, but I am still get a vague burning smell.......very mild, but smells all the same.
Also, when I unlock the car with the key fob, it only opens the driver door. I have then tried waiting and pressing again to unlock the other doors, but it just locks the car. What am I doing wrong?
Cheers in advance

With the unlocking, i think if you press once it unlocks the drivers door. If you press twice it unlocks the whole car but the two presses need to be within a second or so of each other and before you open the drivers door.

True or not, I couldn't say, but sounds plausible...ish.

Great stuff - be careful out there!!!
Smell is probably exhaust - or you might be riding the clutch too!!! - I did that a couple of times and that does smell!. If it persists after 100 miles or so i;d call the dealer.
Keyfob drives me nuts - one press count 1, 2 second press - voila. Despite knowing this I still manage to not do it more often than I do!....I believe you MAY be able to overide this but I will have to check that again. Drives my wife mad when I dont manage to unlock the car.
more than anything, enjoy!!

I'm sure someone on here will tell you how to do it - I thought the keypad could change the settings but i'm probably wrong!

I've a CS400 - got it new at a good price and really enjoy driving it. Having that performance and handling plus a full 3 year warranty appealed - I dont have the inclination to do a build your own (or indeed the skills!!!), and because of the mileage I do a full warranty was important to me.
I think its a great car - I like the interior tweaks and it really does drive and perform like a dream. Not everones cup of tea I know, but it works for me....and I can get the dog in too!!

Of all the car dealers in the country you would think a Subaru dealer would be the most willing to help seeing as they are selling so few cars right now.
Main dealers boil my p1ss! All, not just Subaru!

I ssssooooo do....but I can wait. Patience is a virtue and all that. At the rate I am going it will only be a couple of weeks or so.
I was having a look through the manual at the Si-Drive and Slip diff Auto (Plus+) and (Minus-) settings.....do you ever use them? Is there anywhere to get a tutorial on it all?
