I should have stuck with
I should have stuck with Toyota. Did lots of research and thought I was safe switching to new Crosstrek in 2015 for my road trip needs and paid cash. The first car I selected was crashed by the dealer's lot boy when he was bringing it out for delivery.
I should have taken that as a sign. The first road trip cabin noise was (and is) horriffic... seats are super uncomfortable, blah, blah, blah. Now I have the ASB and skid warning alert lights on and my gear shift locks in park with every alert light flashing. Nerve racking.
Subaru dealer wants $160 for diagnostic test before repair cost which is not affordable on my small Soc Security. Only at 46,000 miles! I am turning 74.... I wanted this car to be my last car purchase and I wanted to love my Crosstrek like I did my Toyota which I gifted to my granddaughter at 250,000 miles and had no issues. Not so sure how I feel about it now outside of it's to risky for driving on my solo trips. At least I got 2 adventures out of it. Was hoping for another this spring but doesn't look like it will happen with this new issue. Really makes me sad.
