Love my Outback but I found the Subaru all-weather mats to not be big enough and my feet still touched carpeting. Got some Weather Tecs and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made for my car. They go further up the walls by the pedals, fit tight, and never move. For seat covers though I would go with Subaru brand. They fit perfect!

While I like the all-weather floor mats (even though they are flimsier than the ones in my 2014 Outback), I wish they had more coverage on the front driver’s side, right near the accelerator pedal. That spot gets filthy and the floor covering wears down very quickly there. I am sure it’s a safety thing, but still wish there was better coverage in that area. Speaking of floor covering… I find it very difficult to keep that clean. It’s as if it traps dirt and grass fibers and you have to vacuum it vigorously to get it to release its hold on whatever’s there. And forget about sand. But if you’re using your Subaru for hiking/fishing/biking/camping, it’s gonna get dirty inside anyway, so never mind 😉.

They can damage the coatings used on that glass. Instead choose on of the many automotive glass cleaners like Invisible Glass. Overspray on the paint from ammonia cleaners isn't particularly good there either.

Hi Alex, thanks for your video’s. I did know about the fuel cap holder, I’ve used mine on every vehicle I have owned that had one. I’ve had my WRX since March 2018, it doesn’t have Apple CarPlay so I use a Tom Tom for navigation. I have it in the lower right corner of the screen (in Australia, right hand drive). This is an excellent spot as it doesn’t interfere with EyeSight cameras or obscure the view of the driver. For the dust on my dark grey WRX I use a handheld duster mop that is lightly impregnated with some form of oil. Just a light wipe over brings the dust off without scratching. Regards Les

I use water or alcohol on the rare occasion I need to clean the screen more. Most times I just wipe with the microfiber cloth but there are rare times I need something a bit stronger. Alcohol is perfectly safe for these screens. Also, until Subaru makes an in-car video recording device where we can actually access and download the footage ourselves, I will always use my own and yes, it sits below the mirror. Mine is a Garmin. I have needed this many times over the years as proof, suggested by my son, a State Trooper. I don’t know why we cannot access something we paid a lot of money for!

However, being somewhat older than you (and not quite tech-savvy) we’re having issues with the touchscreen… Apple CarPlay in particular. When using Apple navigation the voice direction volume is very low. If the radio volume knob is turned up, the directions become clearer, but then the music/talk volume is too loud. I’m sure this is a simple fix… I just can’t seem to find the correct setting. Thanks.

The gas cap holder should always be used because if the inside part of the cap gets too dirty your dashboard will light up with multiple warnings. I took my Subaru in thinking it was in trouble but all the mechanic did was clean the gas cap and reset the warning lights! Save yourself a trip to the shop and money by using the holder. It's a good idea to wipe the white part of the cap every once in a while to avoid this problem.

Get the factory all weather floor mats. They are well worth it. I also have the cloth ones in the original plastic bags. The same with my 1999 Volvo XC-70. Always get your oil changed on time and check the oil level before you drive away. Even good mechanics can make a mistake. Don't drive your car like a race car, even if you have turbo. Race cars are rebuilt between every race. Unless you want drive train rebuild many years sooner, don't race it. I get 31.5 - 32 mpg actual measured mileage by driving efficiently and my brakes with an automatic transmission last 10-15+ years. It saves you lots of $$$.

I swap in the carpet from April through October, basically flip flop season. I'd rather feel the carpet than the rubber under my heel, but I do double up in all positions other than the drivers seat to save trunk space. When I don't tint the moonroof, I will mount my transponder there, makes it out of sight, and out of mind.... which as someone who leases and hasn't finished a lease term in the last few vehicles... typically leads to a text to my sales person... hey, I did it again can you grab my ezpass and the air freshener I forgot... But currently, have the transponder mounted to the right of the flush mount shroud, and a dash cam just below and haven't had any issues thankfully. Really wish Subaru would give us an SD Card slot to use the Eyesight cameras as a dash cam.

What's the best way to keep the front passenger's all weather floor liners in place? There are no pins on that side in the 2023 Outback. Also, Subaru needs to take into account that some people want to use dash cams. I had one on my '22 Legacy Limited and I've got one on my '23 Outback. I've mounted it as close to the rear-view mirror as I can and it doesn't seem to be affecting the cameras. I don't know why car companies just don't go ahead and either offer dash/rear camera recording or at least have an "oficial" spot where a dash cam can be mounted.

I've found the best way to clean the interior windows is to dampen a clean microfiber cloth and run that over the window surface followed immediately by a clean DRY microfiber cloth. Nothing else has cleaned my windows better!! And you don't risk overspray of harsh chemicals over the sensitive areas of the interior.
