Seems high, but I’d be leery of going to independent shop for the cvt fluid. You really want to keep that as Subaru brand and the dealer will do the transmission relearn procedure.
Pros: dealer does relearn procedure
Cons: high price

Well I have a 24 Limited with the 20s and live 2 miles up a dirt road. The tires are fine to me. I have an outback and tundra with 18s and don't notice much difference.
Pros: tires are fine
Cons: dust pools in door wells
Vehicle:
Subaru
I spent 10k for a head gasket/clutch/belts/pully's etc. for my 06 wrx wagon with 170k. Sometimes cars aren't logical.

My 15 brz had a dial under the left side of the steering wheel.
Pros: dial under steering wheel
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
Not sure about the Forester, but common issue on Outbacks. You can't adjust the brightness, but you can adjust the angle. You need a long shank Phillips screwdriver and you can angle the lights down a bit
Pros: adjust the angle
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Man, I drive a Subaru. My apologies. You are getting the regular headlights, not hi beams. They’re just very bright. Sorry. ;(
Pros: very bright headlights
Vehicle:
Subaru
It’s honestly pretty fun to drive, but just know that insurance and gas aren’t cheap, and parts can get expensive if you don’t have a warranty. About two months into owning it, my AC compressor and condenser had to be replaced.
Pros: pretty fun to drive
Cons: parts can get expensive

I bought my wrx brand new in 2015, the battery lasted two years and was replaced at the dealership. That second battery lasted two years and I went back for them to replace it and said that they wouldn\u2019t because it was already replaced under warranty. She told me they would replace it for something like $160, I said \n\n\u201cLook lady the first battery lasted two years and the second lasted two years, I\u2019m not spending my money on your junk batteries.\u201d
Cons: lasted only two years
Vehicle:
Subaru
21 Outback. Battery issues - I’m on my fourth battery since buying it. Have had issues with door seals leaking, but those were fixed easily under warranty. Definitely can confirm the assembly quality - we had to test drive quite a few before getting one that didn’t rattle on every bump we hit.
Pros: practical car
Cons: battery issues, assembly quality
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
