Hello all, I'm a little late on joining apparently... This coming weekend will mark 5 years with my '19 Crosstrek Limited. To be honest, there hasn't been much to talk about as it has been completely trouble-free and admittedly, wasn't a car that I would've purchased if it wasn't for my wife. Ironically my wife ended up doing WFH a few months after we bought the car (and before COVID made WFH a thing), so about 95% of the driving has been done by me. I have grown to be quite fond of it... Hello! 5 years late ..read more

I recently got some small bumper scratches on my Crosstrek (I don't know how I got it) and was wondering if there are any suggestions on the best way to make it less noticeable or disappear. The scratches are not deep, like I can't run my finger through them, so I'm hopeful there's some relatively easy way to deal with them ..read more

Finished some cosmetic mods on my new Alpine Green Wilderness and thought I would share. Thanks to all the forum members for inspiration. Shout out to Cajun Jamie! We both had the same idea to tie in the matte black hood decal! The JDM nose garnish is not a perfect fit for the Wilderness, but slid all the way up the hood gasket it works ok. The Orsini Vinyl custom emblem overlays are a very close match to the copper accents, but due to the angle of the light, they look much darker on... Another Alpine Green Wilderness ..read more

My wife has a new Crosstrek (4 months old now). This morning an AVH icon appeared on the touch-screen, wasnt there before. Is there a way to remove it? Side note: There was an automatic software update yesterday. And, a couple of the radio presets are different. Thanks in advance ..read more

So I've just read that the Outback has a powered liftgate wherein it (opens?) and closes on its own. Is it possible to retrofit this system on a Crosstrek? PS Is the Crosstrek liftgate steel or aluminum ..read more

Too bad its not offered in the Forester. 226HP NA. Redlines at 7500rpm. Unfortunately its aq costlier beefier engine which would cost more. And if offered as an option would not sell. Just like the FA20 Turbo did not sell. I have this engine on my Toyota GR86. Its a great engine. Its the main reason I unloaded my 22 Forester Limited. So I now have the FA20 Turbo AND the FA24. Can't see getting rid of either of them at the age of 78 ..read more
