2021 Crosstrek Limited, a really nice car

Terry480, 05/17/2021
2021 Subaru Crosstrek Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)
Originally, I was going to get the Premium model. I drove it and liked the cloth seats and the 2.0 engine seemed adequate for my needs. While I waited for the car to arrive from the port, I started looking at the other models online. The Limited model provided so many more features for relatively little more money, that I just had to switch. I now have the 2.5 engine that has quite a bit … of power, plus I'm averaging 32.9 MPG combined. I have the 8" touch screen, leather seats and nicer looking 18" wheels, instead of 17". Some people complain about the transmission, but I actually like the CVT transmission. I find it pretty smooth. I chose the grey interior, so that it would lighten up the inside and I'm glad I did. I love the Eyesight and how it can keep the car in the lanes and the cruise control paces very accurately and will even apply the brakes if someone cuts in front of you. All things said, I feel safe in this car and I really like the quality of the car. I had a Forester 10 years ago, but didn't like it, cause it felt too big. This car is small on the outside, but has a lot of room inside. Its really a great size. Now it's been 3 years and 50,000 miles later. I've had an ongoing problem with the radio. Periodically, when I start the car, the radio has no volume on AM or FM even though its set for #12 volume. If I turn it to Sirius, then there is sound. This is random and may happen once every 2 months or sometimes twice in the same month. It seems to occur more in cold weather. The sound may restart itself in 2 minutes or 10 minutes or never. I can always restart it by turning off the radio & resetting it or turning off & restarting the car. The dealer has replaced the radio twice, but this doesn't change the problem. The last radio had a failure the next morning and I drove right to the dealer and left the car running for 2 hours till they opened so I could show them. They scheduled service and had the car for 2 weeks trying to start the car & see the failure, but of course, it didn't happen. The Factory has no solution & right now the dealer wants a factory tech to come & check it. Other than the radio, I've had no other problems. I still have the original tires, but replaced the rear brakes. I also changed the air filters, cabin & engine several times. I'm averaging 32 MPG in the "I" mode, but do 3/4 miles on the highway and usually do 60 MPH in the right lane to work & 65 MPH home. I no longer like the leather seats as they're too firm without enough padding and are uncomfortable on anything more than a 1 hour trip. I think I would like a bigger rear trunk area also. I usually don't drive in the winter till the roads are plowed, so I really haven't had any issue with traction. On another note: While I had a loaner for 2 weeks, the dealer let me use a Forester Wilderness model. The car is pretty identical inside to mine & has the same engine, but it had softex seats and they were better. I drove it the same way as always, but the all-terrain tires took 4 MPG from what I get in my car, so I only got 28 MPG. I really like the way these tires ride and grip, but I don't like the loss of MPG. The factory had the tires inflated to 40 PSI, if I lowered it to 33 PSI as recommended, it would probably lose another 1 MPG.
