  1. I'd find out what this means. This service alone costs around $500 for the 3.6 at my dealership. It'd be the difference between this being a good deal and a bad deal. If they'd definitely be changing CVT fluid and doing all the other stuff for $900, go for it. If they aren't replacing CVT fluid, not a very good deal IMO.
  2. Previous discussion thread: https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/leather-seat-repair-283649.html?t=283649
  3. Yeah it takes a little bit before the RPMs drop and there's usually a bit of a surge of power as I'm backing out of my driveway at one point which is kind of weird, but not really an issue as far as I'm concerned.
  4. Hopefully your tear is small. I regret not getting a quote from a pro until the tear became large. I'm guessing that's a big part of why the quote I got was as high as it was. With that said, I'm still pretty happy with how I addressed the issue. The biggest downside will be in the winter when the bottom of the heated seat won't be as effective.
  5. I had the same problem start last fall. Got a repair kit from Amazon and fixed it up. It held up for about 2 months. Since then the tear got larger. I got a quote to fix it that came in at $425. The guy said it's a common issue on Subaru's. That was too much for me, and I feared even if he fixed it, the issue would just come back because I never had anything sharp on me to cause the issue in the first place. So just a couple weeks ago I got a patch called Masta Plasta to cover the area and prevent it from expanding and then put on Black Panther leather seat bottom covers from Amazon for both front seats (I'm just assuming the passenger seat will eventually develop the same issue otherwise). The seat bottom covers seem nice and thick so I expect them to hold up for a long time. The wrinkles you see in the picture have subsided greatly over the couple of weeks I've had them. So that's ~$60 fix if you're looking to spend less (more like $40 if you didn't get a cover for the passenger seat).
  6. Yeah, I got one for my Legacy and have been using it for about 2 years now. Highly recommend it!
  7. Wow, how does a $9000 job not include a brand new transmission? That's insanity to me.
  8. I got Bridgestone Potenzas RE980AS in September. They've been pretty good, but at the cost of approximately 2mpg compared to the stock Goodyears from what I can tell. Because of that, I'll probably try something else next time.
  9. From my research last fall, it seemed like if you want to step up your battery, group 34 provided the most options and fits well.
  10. Seems like a good deal to me. New 3.6Rs usually sold for around $31k so you're saving around $6k for 6k miles - hard to beat that IMO.
  11. I'm only at 42k miles, but with the quarantine going on, I'm doing some more maintenance than I would be normally. Changed my PCV valve on my 3.6R and here are the two side by side. Pretty easy job - just gotta work around a few hoses.
  12. TheStraightPipes on Youtube have done a couple of good comparison videos between CP and AA.
  13. Some gas stations have hand sanitizer at the pumps you could use after filling up. I've seen this at Kwik Trip a lot.
  14. I've also had a Fumoto valve installed with the gasket that comes with it. No leaks for the 2 or so years it has been on.
  15. I think I know what you mean. I've always kind of thought if feels like that on my 2016. I've just attributed it to how they're rocker buttons instead of individual ones like I wish they were. I haven't thought about really doing anything about them though so maybe not that helpful to you.
