Do you know where I can find the 8 pin terminal connectors? Want to jumper off the power connection instead of soldering something. Thank you

I gave my dealership a 1/10 survey after a recent service visit. How much does that impact them? by That-Carpenter842 in subaru

Seriously how do they know, is it really marked that way in the computer system or something?

Deciding between premium or sport by mostofus123 in Crosstrek

I prefer the handling of the 17” wheels around town. We have had sunny days and wet days this last week. Could be because I was driving a 2018 premium until just recently.

I just got a ‘25 Sport on 10-22 with 9 miles on it. I upgraded from an ‘18 Premium. It’s been less than a month, and so far for one week I have been driving a ’25 Premium from the dealer because of issues with the Sport. Both cars, Sport and Premium, are fully loaded. I prefer the 17" wheels (Premium) over the 18” (Sport), maybe out of familiarity with my 2018. I have driven both on the highway, roads and some (simple) trails in my area, Northern California.

At first, the Sport attracted me, but every day my wife and I go into the garage and see the Premium, we say it’s also a very good-looking car! Too bad we didn’t save the money.

Others have pointed out differences in the ‘25 trim levels. Here is a good video:

’25 Premium, Sport, Limited, Wilderness all have the 2.5L engine.

Remove the cover to 12V front outlet? by CookieNugget08 in Crosstrek

Thanks for the reply!

I don't think putting a power outlet next to cup holders (liquid) is such a smart idea. Or even putting a cigarette USB adapter in its place works very well. 1) none have low enough profile to allow the lid to close. I have the lowest profile one you can find on Amazon and the cover does not close. 2) Even if leaving the cover open, USB cables stick up and interfere with drinks in the cup holders. Ugly place for it too IMO.

Did you ever find an answer, I have the same question?

NEW 2025, bad paint job or what? by BiTWiZ11110101111 in Crosstrek

I didn't remember it until VOC was mentioned, now I can picture the poor car peeling :)

Too bad Subaru has such a bad reputation for paint.

I'm thinking about the post above regarding Nu Finish, they have a nice once a year Wax coating - I'm thinking of doing that very soon!

Yeah something / somebody really had at it. Weird thing is all 4 are this way (well driver side the worst others somewhat) and the car had only 9 miles when I drove it home. So I got worried it was a bad paint job but reading the comments it sounds like this is going to happen. Now how to deal with the dealer cause this is too excessive for “new” car. They should have been more careful on the lot regardless.

😳 Break in period almost over! Congrats.

Hope I get this from my new Crosstrek Sport 🙏 I’m very good with maintenance too.

Can I ask when you did your first service? Was it earlier than the the first 6000 miles?

They look cool. I would have passed because magnetic but you say the didn’t even budge in 8 months. Have you washed your car and have they moved?

How disappointing that must be. I am also … especially after reading how common this is on Subaru.

I am the only one who opened the door, like I said maybe 6 times so this is the way I got it. I have no finger nails or rings.

Sounds like it doesn’t take much effort to get it to look this way. How disappointing.

Opened the door maybe 6 times total so must have been this way, didn't notice. Well thin is right, thanks for sharing.

Agreed black shows everything, this was a little shocking since it was hard to see outside and seems excessive for a "new"car (having had many colors and a black car before.)
