Best roof cargo box for a 2017 Crosstrek? Looking for recommendations

3 Upvotes

Looking to add a roof box to my 2017 Crosstrek (140k miles) to get a few more years out of it as our family grows.

REI recommended the Thule Force 3 L (16 cu ft), but I’m open to any brand, preferably something REI carries.

My main concerns are keeping the rear hatch fully functional and avoiding too much overhang above the windshield. Ideally, I’d like enough room for a folded stroller and a four-wheel rollator walker, plus some smaller bags.

Would an 18 cu ft box be too big? Is 16 cu ft enough? Also planning to leave it on year-round.
Would appreciate recommendations from anyone with a first-gen Crosstrek, especially if you have pictures of your setup. Thanks!

Fair price on Used 2017 Subaru CrossTrek 2.0 premium

3 Upvotes

Looking at 2017 Crosstrek with 78,000 miles on it. Good maintenance records. One cvt fluid change. Not rebuild. Some minor body scrapes on back passenger door. Is $16,000 a high asking price? It’s well above KBB.

Looking to upgrade the stereo in my 2014, any suggestions?

Had a rental while my car was getting fixed and really enjoyed the Apple Car play. I’m looking at getting my infotainment center upgraded to something that has that. Anyone upgrade their old stereo to something new and modern? Any tips? Do the steering wheel controls still work?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, it’s my first time having to drive the canadian winter and I’m looking into buying winter tires for my 2022 Subaru Crosstrek. I was planning to buy it at Costco in Grande Prairie, AB 🇨🇦

What’s the best winter tires to buy? When should I buy my winter tires?

Also, if there are other recommendations where I can buy a better one, that’s better! Thanks! 🙇🏻

Help me pick a color

3 Upvotes

I am currently working on OTD prices for a 2026 Subaru Crosstrek Premium with the option 13 package (mirrors, etc. but no moonroof, etc.). It's between the Alpine Green and the Sapphire Blue. I just can't decide. What color would you choose and why?

​

​

I also have the option for one with a moonroof in either Sapphire Blue or Dark Grey. My hubs thinks I will have more trouble than its worth for a moonroof. Thoughts and opinions welcome!

Sending counter offers for initial OTD offers in the morning so I can hopefully get the deal done before the weekend.

UPDATE: I got the blue! I kinda wanted the green but the dealership that had it never got back to me after I submitted an offer. Too bad for them!

I love her and shall call her Sgaeyl! 🐉

Cut the tube, reclamped so that I could get home. The hose is rotting, and I’m wanting to buy and replace it on my own to save $$.. does anyone know if that’s reasonable? Will I have to take anything out of my engine to reach places I’ll need to attach a new hose to?

I am a young adult and am trying to become mechanically self-sufficient, I just can’t find the part # anywhere!! 2015 Sub Crosstrek XV Premium. New to the community, sorry if this breaks rules.

Title: 2015 Subaru Crosstrek – ABS, VDC and Hill Assist lights coming on + humming noise

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek XV, and recently my ABS, VDC/traction control, and Hill Assist warning lights have been coming on intermittently.

I'm also hearing a low, airplane-like humming/roaring noise while driving that gets louder as my speed increases.

About two months ago, my mechanic replaced one very worn wheel bearing and mentioned that another bearing was somewhat worn but still okay. I've driven around 2,000–3,000 km since then.

I'm not entirely sure whether the warning lights are triggered by bumps/potholes or just happen randomly.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Could this be the other wheel bearing, an ABS wheel-speed sensor or its wiring, or possibly something else?

Any advice or suggestions on what I should check first would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Transmission reseal

Hi all. I need a transmission reseal on my 2019 cross track. It has 62,000 miles. I called Subaru of America yesterday, and they said this would not be covered under the extended warranty. Anybody have luck getting the dealer to have this covered? Any insight would be appreciated.

2020 Crosstrek Clock Issue

Has anybody had issues with the clock adjustment on their Subaru? I’ve tried everything to get it to adjust… switched from auto to manual, reset radio, tried using Bluetooth… asked GBT and followed all its recommendations… nothing allows my +/- to adjust the time!
Please help!
