  1. We have a 2018 Limited and a 2015 Limited. We have had lots of alarm problems in the 2018, just inconsistent behavior over time. Will grant you we often have both fobs on hand in the car for whatever reason so can confuse the chip... but most recently when things had been stable for a while, we had the head unit reflashed on recall, and since then alarm is going off all the time. We just manually disabled it and called it a day.
  2. A possible culprit is the flex hose leading into the catalytic converter, these are pretty famous for getting cracks in them, a little crease might be enough to make some sounds like that.
  3. Check this video for one opinion on snow tire width: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WiQ2Q_jbFY. Biggest takeaway IMHO is what conditions apply most to you.
  4. 225/60/16 Michelin X-Ice Snows on 16x7 Radius WI02 TI Gunmetal from Tire Rack. Note the close spacing for balancing weights and caliper clearance. Ironically, the fit is tighter in the back than up front, only realized after selecting the wheels with fewer weights to the front. All in all, expect it should be fine, the actual clearance is slightly better than it appears in the photo. Not going for anything super impressive for our salty winters, have seen better snow performance and protection from road condition hazards with the higher sidewall tires, and these wheels were lightweight and easy to handle (self change) and the whole package under $1k. Paint seems nice and glossy and thick to handle some winter wear. http://www.gooley.net/images/SnowWheels2.jpg http://www.gooley.net/images/SnowWheels3.jpg http://www.gooley.net/images/SnowWheels4.jpg
  5. Actually ended up with the 16" X-Ice on Tire Rack's 16X7 RADIUS WI02 TI in Gunmetal, and am a little tweaked they put the balancing weights on the inside given that the vehicle was specified, but will see when I get them on, too cold to do it today...
  6. Am planning on going with 16s as well, Tire Rack approves, but will go with another vendor for Momo Winter 2 wheels and Michelin X-Ice. This is the setup we have on our 2012 Legacy which is in it's 7th winter now (purchased fall 2011), the wheels look nice, clean up nice, easy to handle. All in all, have had better snow experience with higher sidewall tires than with low profiles.
  7. Subaru, please make sure the heated steering wheel comes over to the Legacy from the Outback, cannot understand at all why a wagon driver needs this over a sedan driver. I'll pay, just make it available please !
