You're not alone. My radio/head unit died in phases. First, the touch screen became finicky, then XM went out showing "NO SIGNAL", followed by bluetooth. It was replaced under warranty at around 10k, including a new XM antenna, and I've been problem-free since. The biggest issue was finding a dealer who would replace the head unit. My local dealer said I needed to pay my XM bill and troubleshoot bluetooth issues with my cellular provider. No amount of pleading would get them to understand that the radio should always tune the preview channel.

Cheap covers will blow away in the wind. You'll need something custom fit. Also, you should really consider a quality detail and wax job first. This shouldn't be an issue. https://www.weathertech.com/products/car-covers/

Anyone who mods out a car like that likely has driven it hard. I'd run.

The car should not be driven tilted all the way back on a regular basis. It's bad for your back and likely has your head in a position that will give you a whiplash if you're involved in an accident. Extend My Seat offers extensions that will enable your seat to slide back more. I'm not sure if this is a safe option. Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10658875

I stopped by a dealer last week for an oil change. To kill time, I thought I'd check out the new Legacy. I was lucky enough that they had a 2020 Legacy Limited and 2020 Outback Touring XT in stock. Vehicle impressions: The ride is improved and feels refined. The Harman Kardon sound is excellent and is the best Subaru has offered to date The gauge cluster is clearer; I'm guessing the backlight or material was changed. I wish they went all digital like Volvo did in the S40. The front bumper cam is great and helps with even the most mundane parking tasks. The resolution is comparable to the rearview camera, which isn't industry-leading, but get's the job done. XT leather is awesome; so are the vented seats. The blind spot assist has been relocated to the inside of the mirror, like an Audi. I can't decide if I like this change. I'm used to it in the mirror. Infotament: The giant center video screen has A LOT going on. It's by no means minimal or pretty. Physically, it appears to the same screen Toyota is using in the Prius Prime with different side panels and GUI. The screen is divided into 3 sections ---- TOP -- the top quarter is scrollable and contains various engine or radio parameters. ---- MIDDLE -- this is your radio or carplay area. The radio controls take up this entire area. Carplay floats near the top. ---- BOTTOM -- This mimics hard controls for heating and cooling The best way to describe the center console is that it looks like the design team ran out of time. It's disjointed and presents WAY too much at any given time. The design team should benchmark off the Volvo XC90, 2020 Ford Explorer, or Lincoln Aviator. An updated user interface with cleaner graphics would go a long way. Fortunately, a redesign could come since it would be software only. Overall: A refined version of what we all know and love. The higher-spec models are more luxurious.

Fingers crossed Subaru fixes the wind-noise issues. I have a '16 and it's LOUD on the highway. Bluetooth is also useless over 55mph.

My Benz had start/stop. Permanently disabled it within 5 traffic light stops on the way home from the dealership.

Every new Legacy can benefit from: Better summer or all-season tires Snow tires in the winter so the AWD system is actually useful A larger battery so the vehicle starts in cold weather. Reasons: Subaru selected tires based on fuel economy, not ride quality. Stock tires are TERRIBLE in the snow. Immediately fixed with proper winter tires. Numerous people have reported on here for that the battery is undersized. I agree.

Had a dead battery last week at 15k miles! Out of nowhere in the driveway, the car wouldn't start. Dealer replaced the battery under warranty and updated the vehicle software.

Solutions 1) Pull the plug to the fog light bulb. Problem solved. 2) Install Phillips LED fog bulbs. Slightly corrects the beam pattern and matches HID color.
