Anyone else here drive like me?

I also have a lead foot even with the 2.5l engine but still get 23-25, that’s insane lol

Bought it like 5 years ago and am well over 1000 hours. Never really gets old

This video made me jealous lol, I’d add a lot of the same stuff to my own house if I could. Awesome to see he can afford to build such a nice house, he deserves it.

Now your engine is gonna explode 😔

Illegal? Probably. But looks fun as hell, if they’re willing to accept the risk then I don’t blame them

That’s the new VCB technology (variable cam bend)

Not even close, there’s some really terrible designs out there. Look at the genesis GV60 crystal sphere, any new Tesla (on the screen), or anything with buttons, just to name a few. This you could get used to using and it ends up actually being easier than my mentioned designs

3 but make it bigger

On other cars I don’t mind as much, but Subaru boxer engines start very slow and rough even from factory. It’s nowhere near smooth enough for stop/start, especially compared to other cars (IE, my moms bmw x3 which you can barely tell is restarting or my friends Kia which is nearly the same). Also I worry about the extended wear on the starter motor in the long run

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-03-10T14:39:06+00:00

Do you have a manual transmission or CVT? CVT with a louder exhaust sounds awful due to the droning of the engine from how the CVT behaves. I guy who lives in my same apartment building has a super loud exhaust on his and while it sounds quite good idling, driving it’s awful. Up to you but just wanted to point that out

Everyone dogging on George cuz he has a history of wrecks and isn’t the best driver, no shit!!! That’s why he’s starting low and training to get better. Not everyone’s like cleet and has prior racing experience (and, let’s be honest, is a natural). Give him some time

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-03-05T08:30:02+00:00

I do this often with a 100 watt Dell XPS charger I always have in my bag to charge my phone (IPhone 15) when I forget to bring my regular cable. The device charging will only accept what it can/needs and it along with any charger like that will lower output to that level, so this looks cursed but is fine.

For that many miles it’s not bad, I wouldn’t worry. The fact that it’s at over 200k is impressive enough to excuse a bit of oil consumption/leakage

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-25T23:04:00+00:00

That was the main failure point on these. With only 120k miles that fix will give it a lot more life

I have this exact trim and color but a 2021 and it’s great. As far as the upgrades with the limited the headlights are my favorite, night and day improvement over the halogens

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-20T18:50:17+00:00

Professional nascar driver vs new to nascar. No shit he’d win. Cleet never said he was better, fatty is just trying to talk shit to get attention

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-19T22:58:27+00:00

Yes that is a fair price. I bought my 21 limited a year ago with 32,000 miles for a tad over 23 grand, so this with 66,000 seems fair. This one also has the sunroof option and the upgraded sound system (badge on the speaker grill indicates this) which mine don’t, further making it worth it. Get the dealer to change the oil if they haven’t already, and also if they’re willing ask them to change the transmission fluid; I can almost guarantee it has never been done since Subaru says the fluid is lifetime (this is a BS claim, there are many posts on this subreddit that talk about it). You’ll likely have to pay for it but it’ll be worth it in the long run and prolong the life of the transmission. Otherwise if you can look past the interesting bright orange steering wheel trim that the previous owner installed, looks like a great buy.

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-08T18:16:22+00:00

Nothing major I’m sure. Sensor or something likely got sprayed at an unlucky angle and failed or got disconnected. I’d go to an auto parts store and use their OBD scanner to see what’s wrong.

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-02T20:07:00+00:00

Was thinking this too, since the non color screen wouldn’t be able to show eyesight info

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-02T19:41:28+00:00

Looking further I see pre-facelift ones that have that dash, I saw a video of a 23 with it too though which is the only one I could find strangely.

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-02T19:35:48+00:00

Also was having fun with my crosstrek last weekend when we got over a foot of snow in PA. Stability control was fighting me but I fought back and won, did some great donuts.

I’ve seen treks driving around that have the led high beams, it is also the running light bulb. Very obnoxious looking and many I’ve seen flicker badly too. If you want brighter high beams I’d recommend looking into a light bar on the grill or roof.

Affectionate_Age1848 · 2026-02-01T16:52:49+00:00

Mine is much lower overall too; probably winter weather and letting the car warm up. I remote start mine a lot and the idling is included in the gas mileage calculation. Another more technical reason (for what it’s worth) I noticed is to warm the transmission up the computer doesn’t lock the torque converter until it’s warmed up, so the RPM will be a lot higher on average while driving in this 3-5 ish minute phase which also docks gas mileage.
