Dead battery #3 this morning. These suckers do not like extreme cold. The only thing not included in the extended warranty coverage is the battery. Save yourself the time and aggravation and buy a replacement at Costco or PepBoys. Both have great values. Also, spend the extra $10 and buy an AGM battery. You'll be grateful when it gets cold.

Agree. I buy the top of the line Bosch winter friendly blades from Amazon or have them price-matched from Amazon at AutoZone.

Possible issues: -- You have a limited which comes with an amp, which I believe is located under the passenger seat. If it gets wet or shorts out, world hold on. -- You have a bad control connection or short in the steering-wheel-mounted remote volume control. -- Your radio is end of life. It will need to be replaced.

A Legacy on factory tires in the UP is a death wish. Please don't try it. You'll get stuck in your own driveway. Also, I strongly suggest you get a new battery with a higher CCA (Cold Cranking Amp rating), or you'll be left stranded. You may also want to consider a decent remote starter. Skip the fob nonsense and get a Drone cellular remote start system. It will even tell you the temperature inside the car!

The car will look like an AMC eagle.

No. 2019 has a different wiring harness. We all wish we could have CarPlay/Android Auto

Rain-X De-Icer works year-round, but it is not as good at washing away bug guts. In Michigan, I run the Rain-X bug formula in the summer, fall I'll toss in Rain-X 2in1 (if I have some), and in the winter, I need the DeIcer/SubZero version. IF you happen to visit Canada, swing by a WalMart or auto parts store. The Rain-X de-icer is a bit stronger. It won't freeze down to -40 Celcius!

If the battery tests good, you're not getting a new battery. Subaru's have weak and undersized batteries from the factory. If your car eventually starts, you're not getting a new battery. If your vehicle has to be towed in by roadside with a stone dead battery, then you might be getting a new battery. Issues with the battery are well documented: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/battery-alternator-issue-only-32k-266413.html?t=266413

The simple answer is NO. It uses a different harness and I believe a different vendor. One radio is Fujitsu and I forget who makes the other.

BUY the extended warranty: One major repair will cost more than for the warranty costs you. Parts are expensive. Labor is BRUTAL. Free loaner cars help as well when parts are back-ordered. If any of these items fail, you'll be out a small fortune: eyesight, infotainment, LED/HID headlights or tire pressure sensors A warranty will dramatically increase the amount you can sell your car for AND the speed at which it will sell Subaru will refund part of the warranty price at any time if you're unhappy ***NEVER*** buy the extended warranty from your dealer when you purchase the car. They get you for least 30-50% over the market rate. Shop around, call other dealers, and see what you can do. I purchased my extended warranty over the phone from Jaime McGuinness at Planet Subaru. I heard on this forum that Planet is great to deal with for parts and warranties. Jaime took the time to explain the different levels of coverage and was EXCEPTIONAL. He saved me a small fortune.

I had the head unit replaced under warranty. Problem-free every since.

Well stated and accurate. I wish Subaru would come out with an XT with sport suspension. It could potentially be a BMW killer.

You're leasing a Subaru!? Aren't the lease rates terrible?

The Lane Keep Assist warnings can be turned down or off. This will make the Subaru system operate exactly like Ford Lane Centering. Stop/Start can be turned off. Your Lincoln probably has it and you disabled it. You can easily meet the stated highway MPG, and sometimes exceed it if you keep the car between 62-67 and limit excess weight. Going 70+ drops your fuel economy significantly in most vehicles. You can buy a short USB extension cable on Amazon.

You're comparing apples to oranges. 2013 Legacy is a different generation I haven't driven. The 2019 H4 Ascent weighs 4,430 The 2019 H6 Legacy weights 3,455 A vehicle that's lower to the ground and 1000lbs lighter will handle differently.

Facial recognition isn't iPhone responsive but worked respectably in the demo vehicle. Any screen will have glare. A bigger screen will usually have more glare. Tesla, Toyota (in the Prius Prime), and other manufacturers haven't had massive problems with similar systems. The front camera is AMAZING for parking. I've used one on a Ford Explorer for years. You'll use it often if you live in the burbs. You everyone should know that unless the front camera has an integrated windshield washer sprayer, it will likely be useless during the winter. I hate Start/Stop and have disabled it in every rental car I've had with it.

I was too excited to notice.

You're getting taken for a ride. That car is going down in value by the day. Financing will also be different since it's not the current model year. Consider asking the dealer to match these prices. Legacy H6 Package 21 -- Base Model -- $26,391 Legacy H6 Package 24 -- With options -- $28,652 Package 24 is the only option package available for an H6 and includes: Moonroof + Navigation System + Reverse Automatic braking + High Beam Assist + LED Steering Responsive Headlights

I agree. The factory all-season tires are useless in snow. Upgrade to better all-season tires or a set of winter tires.

Would you like more power? Then a turbo is for you! Previous generation: I find the H6 overall feels smoother and more capable The smoothness is even more pronounced when using Eyesight On the freeway, if you stomp the accelerator in an H4 over 55mph, you get very little action. Doing the same in an H6 delivers some real power and passing ability. New generation: Over 35mph I feel like I have noticeably more power in the turbo model. Over 55 I like you have a little additional power, but it's not as noticeable as the H6. Good luck finding a dealer who will let you demo a WRX.

If you want to see out of the middle of the windshield, you'll need a vehicle with more headroom. Sell your Subaru.

I own a 2016 and drove a 2020 last week. My opinion: -- If you don't care about options, buy a 2019. -- If you're buying the car loaded with every option, buy a 2020. If I was in your position, I'd buy a 2020.

Have the car towed by Subaru roadside assistance to a different dealer.

ehsnils is correct. Unless your pants have a 34in or greater inseam (leg length), then a seat extender probably won't help you. To comment on the headroom, the outback has 1/2 an inch more headroom, both with and without a sunroof.
