Our Next Daily Driver

[TrueBlue02058]

My soon to be Daily Driver.

The 5 year lease on our 2017 Mazda CX3 AWD ends May 2nd and with Vehicle Supply Chain issues I thought I would reserve our next Vehicle.

So I visited the Subaru Dealership near the Moncton Airport and Ordered and put a deposit down on a 2022 Impreza 5 door wagon Convenience model.

This colour, Ice Silver Metallic but mine will have 16” wheels, and not the 18” in photo.

Will take delivery May 2nd and am Leasing this one for 36 months.

Welcome to the Subaru family..
I've owned 7 of them so far..

Nice looking car. Suburu makes a nice vehicle.

 

[SilverGT]

We have quite a few Outbacks in our ambulance fleet for the operation managers.They drive nice.

This will do a very good daily driver, you'll see! We're extremely happy with Julie's '14 Crosstrek (which is basically a lifted impreza). Drives nice and gets very good mileage when you think of it's constant on AWD system.

When will it arrive/your ownership commence?

Current Lease on Mazda finishes May 2nd so new Impreza should arrive at Dealer a month or two before that.

They had No New Imprezas on the Lot when I was there 2 weeks ago.

No, nobody seems to keep any stock of any kind of new vehicles nowadays. Good thing you've though early!

For Sure, I just saw the actual Lease Maturity Date is April 29th, so my car should arrive with time to spare.

I contacted my Salesman today and he will get the expected Dealer Delivery Date from the Manager and keep me Posted ?

It’s not that they don’t stock anymore Max, it’s that there is simply not enough stock to be had.
And what little there is is spoken for, like Fred here, before it arrives, or sells very quickly after arrival.

Marc is right, currently MacPhee Ford orders what you want,
over last couple months only 2/3 stock trucks came and were sold
within a day or two.

Certain vehicle's are by order only, manufactures can't keep up
supply issues part of problem, most dealer lots here are almost empty
or only used. and going to be awhile before the catch up.

likely mid late summer, maybe.

When I made the deal on mine 2 weeks ago the Salesman told me they had received 7 new Imprezas in December and they sold them all in less than a week.

Chip issue mostly at centre of all of this................and it ain't soon to be fixed either.
We still have to deal with this for awhile and it affects all kinds of things.
Guys are still waiting for their spring ordered snowmobiles, you cannot get an ATV very easily and RV's are in the same boat ( boats too I would suspect must be hard to come by as well ??)....

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Dropped by Moncton Subaru today to check with my Salesman as to when our new Impreza would be arriving and it was in the process being unloaded off the truck.

I get out of the Mazda April 29th and plan on picking up the Subaru on April 27th.

 

[Rich06]

At least your new car has chips mine is still waiting for them

I ordered it 2nd week of January and am pleased it arrived a month early ?

If you don’t mind me piggy backing on your thread, Fred, we have a new car on order for my wife too.

Upgrade from 2020 Escape Titanium 2.0 Litre to a 2022 Edge ST.

I simply miss the Fusion sport we had, along wth its suede-leather bolstered seats and 325 hp 2.7 V6 Ecoboost.

My wife likes the extra cargo space behind the back seats, for groceries and any other errands.
She does not like to put the seats down.
She feels it’s a safety issue with cargo.
If she hits brakes, objects become projectiles.
If seats are up, seats stop stuff from flying forward.
And she has better visibility out the side windows in the Edge over the Escape, for shoulder check and merging.

The outgoing Escape is close to the bellow shad of blue. (2022 model shown)

The Edge will be stone green and last I herd, was scheduled to be built this week, and it is now rated at 335 hp. ?
Hopefully they have a chip for it. ?

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Edge is a Great Vehicle ?

I had one as a replacement vehicle 5 years ago when my F-150 was tied up at Taylor Ford.

Nice Sold Smooth Ride and new ST must be a Rocket with 300 plus HP ?

 

[TrueBlue02058]

Drove by today and it’s parked behind Dealership waiting for Dealer Prep.

Congrats to all who have received or will be receiving their new vehicles.

[SVT4MT]

Congrats on the new ride Fred, enjoy !!
