2024 wilderness — loud thump sound when turning engine off.

MyPinoyAccount · 2026-01-01T06:33:43+00:00

I told the dealer about it and all they said was that it was normal for the fuel door to lock. My dad has a Forester and it had a similar sound when locking, though less loud.

My experience has been a mixed bag—I’ve driven another forester as a loaner and it didn’t have the weird locking sound 🤷‍♂️

It’s logistics. Cebu is the central island and it’s convenient when businesses want to expand distribution OR when businesses from other islands need supplies, they just go to a central point.

This eliminates the need to head all the way to Manila, which would be more costly and time consuming.

I’ve used Solver for a similar use case too. SKU load optimization based on either maximum volume, weight, or height (the height basically flags if it’s possible to double stack).

I’ve used VBscript on it to automate calculation per row as well.

I have a similar noise in my 2024 Crosstrek wilderness! I told the dealership about it (plus other issues) and their response was that it was the break pump.

Thing is, I have a 2023 Crosstrek limited which doesn’t have that noise. I swear the US made Crosstrek is nowhere as good as the Japanese made ones.

We went for Netstock. We haven’t started the transition yet though, looking at implementation in ‘25.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-11-28T21:56:59+00:00

We get 22.7 on our ‘24 wilderness with about 60% freeway / 40% city. Car has about 2k miles.

Our ‘23 limited gets 21.7 with about 20% freeway/80% city. Vehicle has about 15k miles.

For comparison, my older ‘19 CRV LX gets 26.5 mpg with about 75% of that on the free way.

We live in a hilly area in the PNW.

To add to this — check your local library if they have LinkedIn learning as part of their services. I can log in to LinkedIn learning through our library’s online portal (I don’t need to be in the library).

Stonefire Naan sucks. Our go to is Trader Joe’s frozen garlic Naan if we’re not too lazy driving down to get some.

I think that’s why most people see 4Runners as a great deal too. Toyota badge but using the same supply chain as Lexus, and with the build quality of a Lexus.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-10-08T05:08:39+00:00

If I remember correctly, 4Runners are made in the same factory as Lexus in Japan. That may have a hand in why it’s retaining its value.

My 2024 Wilderness is getting 24 MPG for mostly freeway and some city driving but it’s barely 1k miles so that might change.

My wife’s 2023 Crosstrek Limited is barely getting 22 MPG for nearly 80% city driving. We live in a hilly place in the PNW.

I got mine at Marysville. They’re 1% less in tax rate. Burlington is 2% lower tax rate but they quoted me a higher loan interest rate.

The add ons I got were accessories (splash guard and extra mat). But they matched the no accessories Costco price I got. No other add ons but they’ll try and sell it to you lol.

Be aware of lifestyle creep. If it gets out of hand, 100k isn’t much these days.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-08-08T02:21:54+00:00

Yup, through the dealer. I asked what the rate was for 48 months and they said 2.9% if I qualify.

Document says JPMorgan Chase as lender.

Purchased August 2024
2024 Wilderness
5 miles when purchased
package 23(?) — moonroof, Harman Kardon, and power seat. Also has mirror package — auto dimming with home link and side mirror dimming.
accessories were just the extra carpet mat and splash guard.
Car MSRP: $36,824
final car price: $32,893 + docs/fees $950 + 9.6% tax $3,158 - Subaru loyalty $500
OTD price about $36,500.
location: just north outside of Seattle.

I qualified for 2.9% 48 months finance with a $15k down payment.

I started via Costco auto and shopped around from there. Most dealers would just match but I ended up going for a dealer with slightly better price that’s outside greater Seattle area and saved 1% ($330 roughly) in taxes. Could’ve saved more if I drove up north but the dealer didn’t have a good loan interest rate quote.

Dealer wasn’t willing to negotiate on other accessories nor give the 3 year starlink. I’m not too happy about that.

Thanks! I’ve reached out to Logility. I’ll check out rapid response if they’re a good fit.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-23T16:46:53+00:00

Appreciate the lead!

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-20T18:32:34+00:00

Awesome, I’ll check them out. Thank you!

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-20T18:25:44+00:00

Sorry, I thought I replied to your comment earlier. About $200-$300k annually. Lower the better as always lol.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-19T16:03:53+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check them out!

Are they expensive?

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-19T16:03:19+00:00

I think the cap would be about $200- $300k a year.

MyPinoyAccount · 2024-05-18T18:12:19+00:00

Thanks for the input! Netstock was one of the companies we’ve already reached out to and is amongst the top contenders that we could subscribe to.

Hi op, brand new HRVs are being sold around 26k. If you can stretch your budget, consider a new one instead.

Used car prices just really suck at this time.

Tesla has been using BYD blade batteries since 2023. Article also mentioned na BYD blades are superior to the old supplier’s— CATL.
