2026 Forester Sports Newbie

Hi everyone! Closing in on my first Subie this week, getting the 2026 Forester Sport in Magnetite Grey.

Wondering from experienced folks, is there already a guide sort of the good 1st things to do after getting one?

So far I've purchased the 3W's mats and the screen protector. Watched videos from the guy on YouTube showing multiple hidden features.

But I also mean like settings of the vehicle. Auto start/stop for instance was kind of annoying Tbh when I did the test drive...the Subaru Rep said he particularly deactivated it because it's not a big difference unless you are constantly stuck in traffic (not our case).

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks everyone for all your input, seems like the hybrid/non-hybrid is a common theme. I appreciate your input.
