This bodes well for the future Impreza. The base Legacy and Forester now get steering responsive LED headlights and the price only went up $400. The Impreza with halogen headlights got a Poor safety rating, while the Limited got a great score. I could see Subaru wanting to remedy that in the future.

Yay, for more annoying seat belt reminders - pretty soon your Subaru will just constantly beep at you for some random reason. One review panned the Ascent for that reason - always beeping at you and it wasn't obvious why.

Drive any modern car... they beep at you and/or flash messages at you all the time. My favorite thing to do is to turn off traction control in a Toyota/Lexus product when it's about to go into a low fuel warning - the two messages fight for real estate in the gauge cluster, flashing one then the other in repetition; if the car has nav it then takes over the infotainment and tries to get you to a gas station.
I will admit whenever I'm doing something my car doesn't like, the beep is accompanied by a message in the gauge cluster or a light. Window down, traction control off, fasten seat belt, etc; it doesn't give just a ding, it gives a ding and something visual, either a light or text (or sometimes all three). |

Like the Civic will give a seatbelt warning for 10 seconds and stop for 30-40 seconds. Our 2012 Subaru just constantly dings - a very loud annoying sound, until you put it on. Don't want to try a newer Subaru. |

Can’t you just do the ‘ol hack to turn off the seatbelt ding, where you plug and unplug the seat belt like 20 times in 20 seconds?

My truck is loaded sans ADAS, Nav, and headlights. The conversion from halogens to full LED's (low beam, high beam, DRL, and fog lights) was like $350. I then drove my truck b2b with the expensive trim which has the low beam LED's. My truck offers better lighting because my high beams and fogs are LED's. The housings are projectors on either model. I marveled at the difference and minimal cost. I was really happy buying the trim that I did. Full LED conversion was cheap, and instead of wired carplay from the factory I have wireless carplay via aftermarket, app based alarm, full audio system, a whole bunch of things and functionality I could not get OEM and I saved thousands of dollars. |

These cheap Subarus are a pretty appealing package. They get even more so as an increasing amount of features become standard c

I do have Carplay but the deck sucks, I might be tempted to replace it at some point with an aftermarket. |

Does anyone know more about the Wilderness edition Forester that was shown on the future product slide leaked by AutoGuide?

The difference on the Ridgeline to go from Halogen to LED, is a 4k increase in price to go to that trim. F that. Go to xenon depot and see if they make LED's for the CIVIC. Mine are indistinguishable from factory + I have LED DRL, high beams and fogs. |

The worst part is that Canadian Impreza Sport comes with the LED headlights. |
