Highly unlikely that you could order an XT without leather. As far as I know the only selection to be made would be interior color since cloth vs. leather is tied to the trim level. On the Touring XT there’s not even a color choice - it has the Sierra Tan Nappa leather exclusive to that model.

Whether you’d be able to convince a dealer to swap them out or not is a different story.

I will be picking up my car tomorrow at 10am.��

Congrats! Got a text from my salesman mid-afternoon today saying they’re expecting my car to be in later this week.

The Estimated Delivery for mine was shown as yesterday as well which makes sense because I believe the port for the northeast is in Boston and you can easily drive from Boston to where I am in New York in a day.

The SOA rep actually said "I wouldn't be surprised if the truck is there and it just hasn't been checked in yet." No word from the dealer yet, but I might just take a cruise by later and see if there's anything that looks fresh off the truck.

How long has everyone been waiting for their deliveries? I ordered a limted XT the last week of February. After pestering my dealer for updates weekly, they finally gave me a ship date of 8/12, 6 months after ordering. Curious if they long delays are just for turbo models or all legacy builds were delayed. Wouldn't surprise me they are delaying it until after the 0% finance deal is over.

I did the paperwork for mine in mid-February. The long wait for deliveries definitely wasn't helped by the 8-10 week closure of the plant due to the pandemic. It probably also doesn't help that Subaru doesn't sell nearly as many Legacys as their other models and of the ones they do sell relatively few are XTs, so they likely aren't building as many. I had to drive to a dealership almost 100 miles away just to find one to test drive.

Also that 0% financing has been extended three or four times already, so playing with delivery dates to avoid that seems relatively unlikely.

Since it's the week of the 20th and I hadn't heard anything further I gave SOA a call yesterday. It took a bit of doing for them to find it (sounds like some of the information was mis-entered somewhere along the line) but mine was scheduled for 7/14, released the same day, shipped by rail on 7/15, and shipped by truck yesterday.

If those dates mean what I think they do it was only built last week, so hopefully it left the factory with the 504 version already installed.

Either way, its arrival at the dealership should be imminent!

One thing to do when you get the vehicle check for the software version on the head unit. 504 is the newly released version and newly delivered cars such as yours should have that installed. But if not check and have the service department do the update. It fixes a whole host of bugs in the previous software. Unfortunately my dealer’s service department doesn’t seem to know about it. But when I get my car I will check and if it shows 504 I will bring it to their attention and have them do my wife’s Outback Onyx XT that still has 502 with all the issues.

 

You can check when you get it by going to Settings on the screen and then scroll down to System and that will show the version.

Yep, had heard about this and planned on asking for that to be checked and/or upgraded prior to taking delivery.

I had read on another forum that start/stop doesn't actually kick in unless you press the brake pedal fully (all the way to the floor) when you stop. Any truth to this?

In any case, it's good to hear the option is easier to get to with the newest infotainment update. I have a Touring XT on order and start/stop is my one major reservation about it. When I test drove one it never actually shut off when I stopped.

Lots of tales similar to mine here. I did the paperwork for an Abyss Blue Touring XT on Feb. 17 with delivery originally slated for the end of April, and then it got caught up in the plant closures. I called my salesman in early June after the factory reopened. He was able to tell me the order went in and my car had been built, but delivery wasn't expected until July.

Was at the dealership for an unrelated reason about two weeks ago and happened to run into him. He said he'd be calling me soon about the car. As of today, still haven't heard from him. Thinking of giving him another call.

I'm trying my best to be patient, but it's getting more difficult by the day.
