Well done! It didn't happen without pics.
I also had a new car day this week too:
VW Amarok Highline

You can get towbars for them - did the dealer say you couldn't...? With that amount spent on a car, you'd likely have gotten one thrown in.
But otherwise it's roof bars and bike carrier...

No Subby factory tow bar for Rex 17
There are a couple of aftermarket ones for the 2015 but when I contacted them they would not guarantee it would fit a 2017
They will need to get one in their shop to check which may take a while
I can wait

Cant see what would be different b/w 2015 and 2017...?
What else did you consider before settling on a WRX? Lots of great performance cars out there for those sort of dollars.

Don't forget to take those silly side steps off, they get caught up on rocks and logs. I smashed a bunch of them on Hiluxes trying to follow the 70 Series cruisers down dozer lines...

Get the new V6?? Keen to hear if it's worth the $$$
silentbutdeadly
has some good things to say
Wait till the same V6 TDI comes out in 2018 MY in the manual and auto part time 4x4 versions as is planned for the fleet buyers...then you get the motor without all the urban fluff and fools dollars added on.
Tray still won't be big enough though...

No, I couldn't justify the price of the V6. Highline V6 is looking to be a $14k premium over my twin turbo Highline. I couldn't bring myself to pay that extra.

You're not wrong, it does reduce ground clearance quite a bit. But not sure my wife would let me, she needs the step to climb aboard.

Whoops honey, I didn't mean to smash the side step on the speed bump in the car park.
I think we need to invest in larger off road tyres and some sliders.

Comics! I went on a big shopping trip the other day and got a bunch of collected volumes. Comics are the best.
I've also been re-reading the complete run of Cerebus (the surly grey fella in my avatar). All 300 issues (including the last 55 that I've never read), all written and drawn by the same bloke. Not a bad effort. It sent him round the bend, but these things happen.

I dunno what the difference between a '15 and '17 is but I'm not going to drop $500 plus with being 100% it will fit
As for what I considered - EVERYTHING!
Although I really cant stand big Aussie V8's I even drove a '16 SS Commode but a car needs to go round corners well so it was immediately discarded.
Other than that Volvo S60 Polestar [awesome car but at $109k new a tad out of my range], Audi A4 and A5, XF Jag, Lexus LS460 [That was a shit load of car for the $$$ if you liked a fast luxury barge], Lexus IS350F, Benz C250 [Shitbox], Falcon XR6Turbo, Maloo ute, Golf GTi, Focus ST
In the end it came down to value for $$$, The std equipment list on the premium is pretty good for under $50K and that fact that a WRX corners like its on rails as well as go pretty hard in a straight line

The current models do look great though. If I had $$$ to fling on a new car then it sure would be in the list.
One of the great things to do in Australia during summer !
