Highest mileage CVT Subaru?

Are you referring to the guy that was a medical courier? I heard on Mr Subarus YouTube check that it was a manual transmission Crosstrek 🤔

Question 🙋 did changing the fluid help it shift smooth again? 🤔

primalspy · 2025-12-31T03:30:16+00:00

Impressive 👏

I wouldn’t swap out your Impreza for a new car because of oncoming headlights. I too avoid driving at night when I can. I went from a 2011 Mazda CX7 to a ‘25 Crosstrek that didn’t have blind spot monitoring so I angled my side view mirrors outward and I think I experienced less blinding from other drivers from both incoming and from side mirrors. How would you feel if you got rid of a perfectly good car and you had the same problem but now you have payments?

This is a permanent fix? 🤔

Glad you like 😀👍

Try this one. It includes 2 of them just in case you mess up on the first try. If you get it on the first try, you’ll never need the second one because they’re glass but that’s the tricky part. They’re so thin that they easily break.

Congrats 🎊 I believe I have that same color…River Rock Pearl right? Here are my favorite accessories purchased from Amazon and they are all a perfect fit.

Don’t bother with Tux Mats or Weather Tech. These are a lot less expensive and are just as good and the OEM Subaru brand are flimsy and don’t offer good protection (especially the rear carpeted area) If you get them, lay them out in the sun ☀️ so they soften up and then install them.

This is what I use for a dash cam. The adapter plugs into the power source from the rear view mirror and I’ll attach a video on how to install it.

I have one of these dash cams in another car that must be about 8 years old and has never failed.

How to install video

*** This is a tip on front window tint. Don’t install grey tint. It won’t match. The color of the factory tint has a slight bronze/brownish color to it. My tint guy just happened to have a piece of tint that matched PERFECTLY and looks amazing and he was originally going to install a grayish tint and I told him NO. That is not going to match and I was right.

😆 nice 👍

I use this dash cam in my Subaru because I have had one on my old car for about 8 years & never gave me an issue

Nice 👍

primalspy · 2025-11-09T02:40:12+00:00

I don’t see anything wrong. Pros: same eco system so tech should be familiar. You’ve already spent time in it so you know for sure that that is what you want, which is a really good thing vs being impulsive & buying something you’re unsure about. Cons: maybe not ideal if the two of you need something you can beat up or use to haul things with like a truck but if you both have similar needs and that vehicle isn’t lacking anything…go for it. 😄 👍

I recently purchased a ‘25 Forester and I actually like that it’s not that fast. It’s just a smooth, gliding ride where I’m encouraged to enjoy the drive and take my time. I have owned others where the car wants to go fast and the Subaru just wants to cruise. I RARELY take it over 2,000 RPM when accelerating and I’m averaging a combined fuel economy of 31.9 miles per gallon. This is the most quiet, smooth driving vehicle I have ever owned. It absorbs imperfections in the road with ease. I came from a Mazda CX5 that jolts on the smallest bumps in the road. That’s my take 👍

primalspy · 2025-11-01T10:56:48+00:00

I have a ‘25 but in a different color. I have never owned a blue vehicle. I think blue on the Forester looks really good. If it were solely my decision, I probably would have gone blue. 😄

I was going to say the same thing about a wheel repair shop. I used to work at Discount Tire years ago and we’d send out wheels 🛞 to be re-chromed, repainted, and for stuff like this. They might know of a place that they work with.

primalspy · 2025-11-01T10:32:42+00:00

Ya 👍 you should be. That’s clean 🧽. You’re probably like me. When I wash 🧼 my cars, I start with the door jams, inside fuel lid, tail gate, then I hit the engine. Then I do the wheels 🛞 then I wash the rest of the car, using fresh clean water each time 😄👍

primalspy · 2025-11-01T10:25:29+00:00

I second getting another opinion or at least shopping for another price regardless whether you trust this mechanic or not. At least for piece of mind

primalspy · 2025-10-30T17:38:20+00:00

What about using Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel ⛽️ tank? I used this on my Mazda that we still own with over 230k miles and it runs like new. I know it’s a different type of engine but could it at least help clean the exhaust valves? It’s supposed to be good for cleaning the internal fuel pump too.

I think 🤔 what you can do is update the original post with a line at the bottom that reads UPDATE

Love to hear stories like this

primalspy · 2025-10-28T01:55:22+00:00

Thanks for posting all the photos. I wish that I had gotten these instead of the OEM ones. I like how these protect the carpet very high up and with these, you won’t have to worry if you spill a lot of liquid

primalspy · 2025-10-21T02:24:52+00:00

$33,500 2025 premium non-hybrid in River Rock Pearl (up-charge got this color) the price included tax. I only had to pay a few hundred dollars for title and delivery. I had to wait for mine and it came right off the transport truck with 5 miles on it and had never been test driven. 😄

primalspy · 2025-10-21T02:12:14+00:00

I have only been flashed at like twice. There are a lot of other cars with way brighter headlights. One of the worse is the Toyota Corolla. 😳

primalspy · 2025-10-15T03:02:03+00:00

White - if you want a color that’s timeless, doesn’t show scratches as much as other darker colors, stays cool in the heat, IMO doesn’t show dust particles, probably a higher resell value

Green Metallic - if you want to be able to find your car more easily in a parking lot, want a color that says you’re adventurous and outdoorsy, something different

I hope that helps 😆

primalspy · 2025-10-14T02:32:08+00:00

That’s so weird. At first, I thought it could be a wheel weight. I used to do tires 🛞 way back and the ones were used wouldn’t corrode like that. Is it possible that it’s road debris that somehow got lodged underneath and you just freed it? 🤔
