    I wish Subaru would consider using stainless steel bolts on certain parts of the engine bay...good lord.

    Hi all, Local idiot here. After taking the Foz to collect some pizzas last night, I forgot to shut my sunroof. Woke this morning to find it had rained quite a bit. Heaps of water on the centre console (probably 35mm in the cup holders) and very damp carpets. I mopped everything up as best as I...
  6. Transmission and Driveline
    Hi, I’m having some issues with my SuBie Sport. It started making this sound - a click click click - at low speeds. Sometimes it gets really loud and it disappears when I increase the speed (might just not hear it). I looked up knocking and the internet said “Cheap Gas, Bad Sparkplug“…Well, my...

    Hi everyone. So, today I noticed what looks like my moonroof seal deteriorating. It's a '19 Touring that is now just barely over 3 years with 30k on the odometer. I have an ext factory warranty but I'm told it is not one of the covered items. I have already taken it to the dealer, they took...
  10. Forester Shopping
    I really like the simple small top display screen on a 2021 Crosstrek - it's just black and white but very clear and exactly the info I need when I'm driving. Quick and easy to read. From test-driving, it seems the Forester screens don't offer the same layout and info options, as far as I can...
  11. General Troubleshooting and Technical Help
    Is this engine noise normal? I've been hearing something in the driver's seat while accelerating, pretty sure it's the same sound just being dulled. Will bring it to the dealer, but just wanted to see if anyone else experienced the same thing before.

    Deciding between a Crosstrek to a Forester avail here locally. The Forester is a real beaut - 2019 Jasper Green with light grey interior, but is this car too fancy for an active lifestyle?

  15. Interior and Electronics
    Hello Everyone, I have a 2019 Forester Premium that I bought last summer. I really love it so far. I do have one issue with it though. I find the center console space to be very cramped. The cubby hole can hardly hold my phone or wallet, if I have drinks in the cupholders there is almost no...

  18. Exterior and Body
    I'm assuming this is normal but when I open the trunk it's quite dirty around the struts/hinges. It's interesting that there is a seal going around the trunk up to to the roof line, but there is no seal of any kind and quite a wide gap between the trunk and the roof. I actually compared the...
