When I think of Subaru, the first thing that pops in my mind is “wow sweet hood scoop”. My subie is NA, so no turbo or TMIC, but I really like the look of the scoop.

What scoop would fit this hood? Impreza scoop, or is there a factory option one I need to import from Japan?

Picture for attention. Thank you!

2017 XT Touring. I’m loving this after a lot of research on what to buy. So much fun to drive. Coming from a 2013 Ford C-max. Miss the hybrid features a bit. Maybe I’ll be after one of y’all’s later model hybrids next time I buy.

Went to a dealer to pick up a hitch receiver for my new Wilderness and parked next to this 2026 in Dark Mahogany Pearl. And check out the gold detailing.

Definitely hits different in person and in direct sunlight.

World Rally Blue JDM Forester STI in Gainesville Florida owned by Darnell the owner of Browns Performance. Super clean and cool example of one of these cars. Dyno videos coming out Monday on our instagram. @BrownsPerf

Everyone has complained about how underpowered this car is in other forums, but I’m coming from a 2006 Toyota Prius so I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the experience. Also feels very capable of rallying the ridges of Big Sur.

It's all mine now! Yay!! (Those are dealer plates from when we had it on a test drive.) Really enjoying it so far. Upgraded from a 2014 Limited, so the new tech is fun. So far I'm at about 30mpg, but I'm only 160 miles in so I'm sure it'll get better.

River Rock Pearl exterior with the touring brown interior... it's funny, I just realized the steering wheel is a totally different color (grey) - what gives with that?

Just bought a 2010 Forester for 2000 CAD (1450 USD). This chariots got 256k KM (159k miles). Bought it from the only owner, he’s had the timing belt, water pump, exhaust system, and timing belt replaced. Barely any rust underneath (quite rare living in Ontario). Came with 4x winter tires on rim, and 4x summer tires, all brand new!

First thing I did was put in the summers with new lug nuts, next week I’m going to do do all my maintenance (AWD oils, transmission oil, engine oil, coolant flush), get it detailed, and undercoated.

I’m curious on what mods I should make since this will be my daily for a while I hope. Thinking about taking it on a trip to BC this summer as well.

I think I got a good deal, what do you guys think?

Got in a fender bender this week. Looks like the damage is isolated to the hatch, spare tire bin, and bumper. Nothing looks bulged in on the inside of the trunk. My Lachute muffler was spared and everything else important under the backside looks ok. All lights and backup camera still work. Is this going to take months in a shop to fix? Anybody have any comparable experiences to share to put my anxious mind at ease?

My poor Ted only has 4 payments left 😢 on the plus side, the anti-collision brakes saved me from front end damage. Subaru will get more of my money.

She needs a name 🩶

Took the subie out on the beach for the first time and watched some people who didn’t air out get stuck. One of them was a forester wilderness lol

I'm looking for a new vehicle and thinking about a Forester as an option. I'll likely buy used, 2019 or newer. I have 2 large dogs I need to accommodate and this vehicle is mostly used as my daily commuter and adventure vehicle. My commute isn't a standard city commute, it's a 2 lane highway with a speed limit of 80 km/hr that winds around a lake, through a forest, and up a mountain pass; snowy conditions are always expected in winter.

I'm wondering about all your pros and cons of having a Forester, what the fuel economy has been like and just any general tips about potentially getting one!

Hi Subaru friends! I’m not sure what to make of what’s going on with my touch screen in my 2019 Subaru forester.

I got my car detailed yesterday late afternoon. Prior to this, my car was admittedly very dusty (see before pictures of touch screen taken yesterday before detail cleaning).

When they finished, the screen looked like this (see pictures labeled “after- same day”). When I woke up today, 16 hours later, it is visibly worse (see pictures labeled “after-day 2”). Each original bubble has formed more branches.

Could it be from something the technicians who detailed my car did? The rate at which is worsened over night leads me to believe that if it was something that pre-existed I surely would have noticed it. I know my screen looks super dirty in the before pictures, but with the car on and screen lit I fully believe I would have noticed something like this beforehand.

Additional details:

when I scratched the “bubbles” with my nail in two tiny spots (I thought it was something on the screen I could scrape off), they chipped off (see pictures labeled “chipped”)This left the outline of the bubble and a flat shiny area where the bubble was.

It almost looks like the matte part of my screen is bubbling/flaking off? Is that possible?

Or, is it possible I left a removable protective film on somehow from purchase years ago?

Does anybody else have an issue with this piece becoming loose due to road and car vibrations? I'm not sure why the plastic clamps come loose or the name of the part. Am I the lucky one?

They appear to be OEM. They also really look to me like they're on backwards. 2018 base model Forester.
