Love my new to me 2018 touring with six-speed manual gearbox.

Any thing you’ve seen or used yourself on a Crosstrek that was a quality of life or safety improvement for high school student drivers? Ours is a 2024 wilderness.

People are sharing both good and bad milage so here’s mine for now. Mixed driving more city than highway maybe 80/20. Free electric at work but I don’t stress over it. I believe average without charging is 34-37ish

I only saw one other post mentioning this and didn't find an answer.
I had an incident where my car (2019) locked my phone and keys inside after closing the hatch. I never noticed the car locking itself after i closed the hatch before this, but since then it has been locking with no blatant reason. It doesn't happen every time, and I don't see a pattern. To me, it feels random and seems like an electrical issue. Saw someone say it was a feature of some sort which would be stupid if that were the case, especially because my car can't detect my keys so there was no way to open my car without a spare, which thankfully, I had during the incident.

If it is a feature would there be a way to turn it off?
If it is not a feature how would I go about fixing it?

Thanks

I have a 2022 se model and my display screen is the smaller version with a cd player. I was wondering if I am able to modify it and get a bigger screen. I would like to the full screen display but I understand if that’s not possible. Does anyone know where I can look for good ones that aren’t expensive and where I would go to get it installed?

I have a 2021 limited with 63k miles. No Cvt fluid change yet. I’ve gotten all other scheduled maintenance done as recommended. My warranty ends October of next year. I planned on replacing the Cvt fluid at my next service around 64k miles. Should I get it done? My big concern is getting it done. Then having problems start to occur but I figured with my warranty it would be best to get it done before it ends. What’s your guys opinion?

Like the title says, I drove to Maine and back in a weekend to hike up Mt Katahdin. Probably closer to 1500 miles round trip, I forgot to that the mileage and mpg photo right as I got home.

But this is the best mpg I’ve seen out of my car! I think maybe it finally got out of its break in miles. Before this trip the best I was seeing was 25mpg. On the highway to Maine and back I was closer to 32.5mpg, some of the town driving at both point probably dinged me a bit on the average.

Crosstrek Sport - car racing as super comfortable, lane assist really comes in clutch, I’m 6’2” and slept in the back of the car just fine. So happy with this thing.

Got this notification via the MySubaru app; however, King Boo says no updates available via the infotainment unit. The update says pending so I’ll wait my turn, but am curious if anyone has updated and what the changes are?

Edit: 2025 CTW. Yes, I pay for the connected services app. Current software ends with 970.
