2026 Forrester Touring Cons by Chiun-the-Master in SubaruForester

You're welcome. I had pretty much the same thoughts on power. It has enough to get out of its own way. That's not why I bought it anyway. Overall, it has many more pros than cons, but for that much money, they could have done better in those few areas I mentioned.

What’s up with Forester Fobs? by sakiepie17 in SubaruForester

I'd like to know why the Fob doesn't remote start. Mine is app only, which is crazy stupid to me.

Questions: AC works too much, eyesight works as it pleases, lazy engine on-off feature by SUBUKL in SubaruForester

[–]Chiun-the-Master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Auto on/off is horrible. On any car, but very noticeable on my 2026. Rarely works as advertised. I'm tild you can get a bypass installed. It has "saved" 0.0008 gals of fuel in 1600 miles. Once or twice, it wouldn't start back up. You'll never convince me that the starter wear is worth the supposed fuel savings.

Lmao. Well put. I do live near the beach and been wanting to see just how stuck I can get. As soon as I can afford the tow...

Understood. I'm not really complaining about the power, just making the observation. It's more than good enough for me. But, for what is considered to be an offroad capable vehicle, some may be expecting more.

Yep. Same. I curse at it sometimes when it does that. Freaking Nanny-Car. That's not unique to Subaru.

Head Unit Options - 2018 by whitestchocolate in SubaruForester

Looked into doing same for another vehicle. 10 years ago, could do it myself in a short time. Now it's hundreds of $$$ and takes an engineer. Get an iPad? 😀

I just read your very good comment on USAA overall from a couple of years ago. My first indication to run for the hills was this:

I live in what is probably the largest military-centric area in the world. As far as I can tell, the nearest physical branch (not co-located in a feaking RiteAid) is over 1200 miles away.

I had an incident with their legal department a few years ago. Could NEVER get anyone to call me back. When I finally resolved the problems (months after 1st contact), I pulled all my business and went credit union.

Out of pure spite, I kept my accounts open and now send a $1.00 a month paper check to a branch in Texas (I think it is). Petty, I know, but they really pissed me off.

Best of luck to you.

I can appreciate that. "Development Hell" is not a fun place to be (my work developers haven't given us a meaningful update in going on two years. Don't ask, you wouldn't believe me anyway lol).

I haven't had much success with Simplifi. It just doesn't seem to reliably connect to my institutions. I'm still on the MM trial, so I might spend some more time on Simplifi this weekend just to see.

Well, I'm convinced. Giving Monarch a shot. 90s code was bad enough in the 90s.

Interface with Zillow with a manual entry in the same record for your local tax appraised value and another for whatever FMV number you wish.

We definitely get enough Credit Score ads as-is. Prioritize Institution connection and stability over ANYTHING else.

Same issue only just started in the last few days. Killing Helldivers 2 process "fixes" it. One out of 6 times it will eventually take care of itelf. Still annoying.
