raider600 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 My 17 doesn't like most USB drives I plug in. It's fussier than my 14 was & doesn't like the drives that worked in that car. Right now it periodically disconnects the drive that has been working somewhat. I wish my USB Zune would work like it does on my wife's Ford.

Syzygy05 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Oh, I almost forgot, why can't Subaru push Android Auto and Apple Carplay updates to 2017 and older models. That's a bit screwed up. Also, Subaru, your paint sucks. It chips and scratches to easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have noted it before - the CVT runs the Active Torque Split, which is just a clutch pack engaging the rear transmission instead of the Variable Torque Distribution that has a planetary type differential. The former gives in my taste too much understeer and less traction than earlier models I have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3w Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have a 2018 Subaru Legacy 3.6R Limited with EyeSight and Navigation and (missing) features that annoys me: 1. There are no front parking sensors. I like to make sure I can move forward as much as I possibly can so I can decrease the risk of possibility of having my Legacy scratched/swiped/dinged at convenient stores ie. Costco, CVS, Albertson's. 2. Reverse Passenger tilting mirror. I know back up camera are the new "thing", but call me old school I LOVE using my mirrors when I: Reverse Park, Check for Curbs, Crushing pine cones, you get the point. It's a something that I learned to use throughout my life and I guess I've been spoiled having that option on my past vehicles. 3. Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) does not disengage consistently. When I park my Legacy I always engage the EPB just in case something happens. When I start my vehicle again, place the vehicle in Reverse or Drive, press the accelerator the EPB automatically disengages (without pressing the Brake pedal) and allows me to proceed forward. However, it has not been consistent and there have been times where it's just me revving my Legacy in the parking lot looking like a fool. I'm new to the Forums and I look forward to reading all your stories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm new to the Forums and I look forward to reading all your stories Welcome to the Legacy community! I can only speak to number 3... the parking brake will only disengage automatically with your seatbelt buckled. If you are not buckled, it will not disengage automatically. So if it does not function as I just described every time, bring it to the dealer. If you’re old school like some people I know, the seatbelt is a mere suggestion so this may be your issue?

WILLINH Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 How about actually using the seat belt? Makes sense. My seat belt saved my life once, I had a head on with a drunk driver who skidded into my lane going around a corner. Out of work for 4 months. I ALWAY'S wear my seat belt.

Ronin3.6R Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I can't believe that there are people who will not only not use their seat belt but pay money to circumvent it. Incredible. It's only there for one reason- safety. To save your a$$ and keep a minor accident minor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin3.6R Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), more than 15,000 lives are saved each year in the United States because drivers and their passengers were wearing seat belts when they were in a road traffic crash. It just works and is a good idea. Not only from collision impact but ejection as well. When you are ejected or ejected 1/2 way and the car rolls, you get really skinny in parts of your anatomy you don't want to be. But I think one of the best benefits are those minor 20-30mph crashes where you walk away shaken instead of leaving your teeth on the steering wheel and parts of your face on the windshield...

dr3w Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Just to be clear, I DO wear my seat belt. However, clipping the belt after I drive a couple yards has been a (bad) habit I developed.

Ovcoursitsilver Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 After 6 months and close to 10,000 miles of ownership, having to wait about a second for the transmission to exit reverse and engage drive is still annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which should explain why the Electronic Parking Brake annoys me. I used to tell my young kids and their friends "This car won't move until all the seat belts are attached." For years they thought the car actually had a safety interlock on the seat belts. I didn't even know about the electronic parking brake, which I always use; an old habit from driving manual transmissions all my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syzygy05 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I used to tell my young kids and their friends "This car won't move until all the seat belts are attached." My parents told me the same thing. I've followed in the same footsteps. It's such a small thing to do but with potentially big consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieN8 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Our current cars (2018 Crosstrek Limited and 2018 50th Anniversary Legacy 2.5) have been fine thus far. However, I know that engines and trannys are replaced all too frequently in the 2012+ vehicles. Wish Subaru would figure out how to make them built-to-last as they once were...

Like the EA81 engines - they are rarely the case for them old subies going out of service since there's no cam belt or cam chain but a gear driven single cam. But then you'd get 75 to 80 hp in an OHV engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
