Hi Crosstrek Enthusiasts, I just took delivery of my 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium package 13 (no sunroof) and have been enjoying driving it. It is a fun car to drive with its peppy 2 litre engine!!
One thing about the driving experience that is strange to me is the operation of the Auto Start/Stop (A S/S) feature, as I have never owned a car with this feature. Could operation of A S/S lead to premature starter failure? Also, I live in Houston, TX where it gets very warm and humid during the summer, how would the AC work with the engine off at a stop light?
Finally, is there a way in car’s software settings to permanently disable this feature rather than having to turn it off at the start of each trip after I start the car?
