For those that have installed the Subaru Window Deflectors, do they interfere at all with the window operation? On my 2011 Forester, I had the WeatherTech set installed and they were a little tight to the point that often the driver's door window would think it was an obstruction and roll back down. Do the deflectors cause any extra friction when the window gets to the top? I've looked at photos of an aftermarket brand, and I'm not crazy about how they look. If it matters, this would...

Picked up a gently used 2022 Ascent Limited a couple weeks ago, less then 8,500 miles, abyss blue pearl. Loving it so far. This is my 2nd Subaru, traded in a 2011 Forester Limited with 277k! Looking forward to new adventures with it. Thanks, Mark ..read more

Hey everyone. I’m taking the family to the drive-in and realize I have no idea if I can or how to put the car in radio-on mode without the engine running and without killing the battery and with the lift gate open and with the interior lights off. Ah! Help. Haha. Thanks ..read more

We recently upgraded from a 2022 Ascent Touring to a 2024 Ascent Onyx Edition Limited. I'll share more details in a separate thread soon. Meanwhile, we're planning to replace the stock wheels, which neither my wife nor I are fond of. Here's what we had before: We absolutely love the tires! I often travel long distances, even driving from North Carolina to a ski area in Vermont, and frequently encounter blizzards. The tires need to perform... Same or something else ..read more

I started the software update while driving this morning. Within a few minutes it was almost complete and Eyesight turned off and has not come back on (even though the update is finished). It's the white Eyesight error message with "Check manual" note underneath. Does anyone have any suggestions to try and fix this? I've removed the battery for 5 minutes, and separately reset the headunit and either has worked ..read more

We had a set of the Continental CrossContact LX25 all-seasons put on our '19 at the start of the year. Now that it's been 4 months, a winter and a couple of long trips I thought I'd share. First, this is our second time replacing the tires. The OEM Falkens wore out fast and good riddance. We had a set of Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady all-seasons put on at about 40k miles, if I remember right. Those were great... Continental CrossContact LX25 Review ..read more

I took my baby in for an oil change and tire rotation before we head out for a trip and had a $20 off coupon in hand. I check in, hand the guy the coupon. A little while later i get the attached video by text and then here comes guy with cabin air filter in hand. He quotes $75(!!) to change it. I say no, I can do that myself for $20. BTW, please view the video and decipher the “ your exhaust system has some….mumble mumble…” and tell me if I should worry about what looks like damage to the...

Hi Would anyone be kind enough to share the invoice price. Subaru refuses to disclose the invoice price. The invoice price posted on this site is from 2023. The dealer is quoting 44200 for Subaru limited 2024 with tech package. No way of knowing if this is good price for the model as some on true car are selling the same for 42900 without invoice pricing. Thanks ..read more

Good morning. My ham radio club is supporting a trail run in a couple of weeks and I'll be using a couple of radios for approximately 6-8 hours. I have one of those solar "generator" units I will use for power. My question is related to the tendency of Subie batteries to die with tailgate left open. Has anyone tried hooking the Subie battery to a backup battery so keep the tailgate open for an extended time? Leaving the tailgate open is not absolutely necessary, but would be convenient...
