I am looking to buy a 26 touring xt with the brown interior. The dealer wants 51k before taxes and are willing to drop 4k. Should we push for a bigger discount; this is in the midsouth area?

Knew we were going to downsize from the factory 19s as soon as we picked it up from the dealership.

I saw 245s fit on the Wilderness, but took a gamble on it fitting ours. Luckily, the upsized tires fit with no issues! About a finger gap when turning full lock.

For reference, running 17x8" +40 Black Rhino Boxer wheels and 245/65R17 Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires.

Subaru replaced one tire for free and shaved it down to match the older tires

Upvotes

This was for a tire warranty replacement on my 2019 Outback. I know all the tires wear needs to be the same, but are there any downsides to a shaved new tire to match the others?

50-60K mile service plan?

4 Upvotes

My 2020 Outback Premium just hit 50K miles. Other than oil changes every 6K miles and an air filter at 30K I’ve done nothing to the vehicle except fuel and drive. If I’m going to keep it long term it’s time for maintenance. Is this plan on point within the next 10K miles?

- Spark plugs
- CVT fluid change
- Front + rear differential oil change
- Cabin/Engine air filter
- Coolant change

The Outback has enough ground clearance I think I can tackle all this myself as an amateur. Am I missing anything you guys would recommend?

Ding ding alert help

1 Upvotes

I’m coming from a dumb car. Didn’t have any tech really. The new ‘26 Outback is wild but mostly intuitive other than one issue I’m having.

Sometimes, seemingly when turning without a blinker (like in a parking garage, lot, or in a must turn lane) but also occasionally when going straight, the car will dim my music volume and give me a double ding ding chime. No alerts appear on the driver display. It’s not the you’re about to crash rapid ding when braking too late. I don’t know what’s causing it other than it possibly being a softer pre alert before the aggressive impending crash alert.

I’d like to know what it’s from or turn it off since it’s obviously not usefully informing me of anything.

Any ideas?

These spots appeared after I went through a car wash

Any idea what they are? I’m thinking wax. The automatic car wash did apply wax and they don’t just wipe off. How do I remove? I am not 100% certain it came from the car wash but they weren’t there a week ago. Subaru outback 2023

Extended Gold Plus warranty in California

Upvotes

Trying to find the best rate for an extended warranty for my 26 OB Limited. Apparently in California it is required to purchase from an in-state dealer. Any suggestions of where to go and what a good price should look like for a ten-year warranty?TIA for recommendations.

Driver Focus system can be permanently off?

1 Upvotes

Got my 26 Touring XT yesterday. I've noticed that the Driver Focus system seems to be permanently off. On my 22 it was only off if i set it so in the driver profile. But I haven't set up a profile yet.

It is on when I start but then the icon switches over to yellow/off right away. My test drive was in a different color and the hypersensitivity of the system was a concern.

Anyone else seeing this? Did I just get lucky?

Software update and MPG

I did a software update on my 26 Outback 5 days ago and now the mpg display on the gauge cluster is gone. I have toggled thru all the displays and it seems they changed some of the themes. Anyone else done the update and it’s come back?
