Default not as powerful? possible prob?

now this could just be me but here goes... drove the car to day to the wash on south street felt normal ect anyways after washing it driving home the car just didnt seen to pull like it was before all the way through the rev range seemed to almost plateau was not far off but it just didnt seem right or as powerful as it was prior, its now got 1300kms on it but just wondering any ideas to what it may be if it is something? or what i should check? its going back to subaru to have a look at a noice from the from the front wheel tomorrow so will get them to look at it then , but in the mean time anyone have similiar experiences ect ? or wat it could be?

Your flux capacitor came loose while washing it

I agree with Tino, you are just starting to become used to the car.

yeh possibly hope thats all,could also just be new car syndrome worrying about every little squeak rattle or possible abnormality will check the flux capacitor wiring in the meantime just to be safe.

Start giving it a little bit of stick, your engine will thank you for it.
