I love eyesight in our crosstrek. Mostly for the adaptive cruise, I can make an hour plus journey and not have to touch the pedals. The lane keep can be a little abrupt at times but its really easy to switch off.

I think it depends on which generation of eyesight you have so that should probably be mentioned when talking about its quirks. I have the third gen in the 2018 models and it's been pretty bulletproof. The only time collision detect has freaked out on me is when a car in front of me was making a right and was technically out of my path, but eyesight was worried it was in front of me (maybe it thought I would be following with a turn of my own) and started pulsing the brakes. There's also a lane merge that the lane departure likes to wig out on, it goes from two lanes to one and the paint is super faded but there's a crease in the asphalt that stands out. I think it identifies that line as a lane marker and beeps at me when I cross it. The adaptive cruise control along with lane assist is a godsend on road trips. You set your speed and forget about it forever. The lane assist isn't really an autopilot, it's more like a reminder. It'll nudge the steering wheel when the road bends to kind of alert you there's a turn, then it eases off under the assumption you'll handle it from there. I didn't get a chance to drive on snow buried roads this winter, but with slush and low contrast from dried ice melt it handled things fine.

Lane assist likes to try and make me take highway exits when I’m in the right lane. It’s pretty funny.

I got to try 3rd Gen Eyesight on a 2018 Impreza. It was very, very, very nice. None of the excessive beeping that I keep hearing about in older versions. And the adaptive cruise control was *so* nice. I wasn't brave enough to try to see if it would brake itself all the way down to a complete stop, but man did it make LA-style traffic a loving breeze. My complaints with recent Subarus continues to be a trend of too much "ooh, this is a nice feature!" and not enough "this is good, solid design".

Rant of the moment. Never try to swap a 5 speed DCCD into a Phase 2 transmission. There's so many weird little parts where it looks like Phase 1 parts but actually isn't. Case in point - the transfer gears. The drive gear that plugs into the diff has the splines set up completely differently, so you can't just use the transfer gears from the viscous center diff Phase 1 transmission... and then bearing for that transfer gear is different too because Subaru upsized that part of the shaft! Good thing I know how to look through bearing catalogs to find something probably close enough... I swear to god if this thing lunches on me in 20k miles I'm just getting an STI 6-speed.

Larrymer posted:I mean, it's a Subaru 5 speed so... I specifically meant "if this bearing I'm picking out of SKF's catalog vs the official Subaru part" lunches... because it shouldn't be anything too weird but god knows at this point. As far as Subaru 5 speeds go, it should be relatively solid for the power outputs I ever intend to be making on my DD. As long as I don't take it to a drag strip or something.

I'm having a really poo poo time with the misfire on my 2006 Impreza 2.5 5-speed. Googling the issue results in 90% of all threads on NASOIC, so perhaps you guys can help. I trust you, you're good to me. It's been throwing a misfire code off and on for about a year and a half now. Initially it was one cylinder, but it would move which one. I did plugs, plug wires and coil. Initially that seemed to make it go away, now it's back on cyl 1,2 and 4. Before I bought it, it had the headgaskets and clutch done by a shop that hand-wrote the receipt "Clutch and headgaskets, $1800". I'm not convinced he was an expert. When the car was getting the Takata airbag inspection, the dealer mentioned that it could need a valve adjustment, and that would cause a misfire, but to my knowledge, these are hydraulic lifters, so that doesn't seem to make sense. I've seen lots of people suggesting vacuum leaks, but I've taken a pretty good look at things, and nothing appears obvious. So with all that said, what else can I look at here? Driveability is fine, although the idle seems a little uneven and low (550-700rpm) once warmed up but I do feel the misfire on the freeway in 5th from time to time. The car was nice in that the misfire code went away for long enough to get the car smogged, but now it's back and I hate leaving things unresolved. Any ideas?

Oxygen sensor? I mean, that is one of the preconditions for the misfire code. You might be able to get an OBD2 reader that has live monitor views and watch the O2 sensor reading when driving around. My old Miata had a nuked O2 sensor that would get obsessed with reporting full lean, causing the ECU to absolutely dump fuel into the cylinders. That would definitely show up on a smog test, though, unless the sensor magically healed itself.

Well we're in CA, which for these cars they don't do a sniffer test anymore. They just connect to the computer and trust what it says. I think my obd2 reader can give me O2 sensor readings, so I'll look into that. This would be the precat sensor right?

Pre-cat should be up and down/oscillating readings, post-cat should be basically flat.

Anyone have a Forester that can recommend a hitch? I have a 2016 Forester and I just want a hitch to put a bike hitch on, but what I’m seeing so far is the only way to go is the OEM hitch that costs $600+ after install.

A search says this should fit your 16 but double-check. https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Curt/C13144.html Bonus if you're installing yourself is that their instruction videos are vehicle specific and make it pretty fool proof.

Any of the other ones don't show any reading at all. Here are some shots after revving it while parked:   But if there's supposed to be another one, it's not reading at all? I feel like that would throw a code of it's own right? I also noticed that the throttle position seems to be hosed: At idle fully warmed up:  Freeway driving, no throttle:  Freeway Driving full throttle:  From what I can tell on RockAuto, these cars don't have a throttle position sensor, but they're surely getting the information from somewhere. I'm not sure if that's related to my misfire, but it doesn't seem good. Regarding the misfire, Torque has Bank 1 sensor 1-4 and bank 2 sensor 1-4 as possible options. I should have a pre-cat and post-cat sensor, so why am I not reading a second one? Just to clarify, valve adjustments aren't a thing on this generation of EJ25 with hydraulic lifters right? Unless it was done really horribly by the headgasket guy?

TPS readings never go the full range; 0 and 100% are considered error states.

Interesting, on my truck (which is '95 GM technology) the TPS zeroes itself when it's off. So at idle it reads as 0%. If 0 an 100% are error states, is this at least a normal TPS range?

The reader didn't seem to have anything else I could scan, but I can plug it in again and check. P0301, p0302, P0304 Cylinder 1,2, 4 misfire detected. I don't have another tool on me, but I think Oreilly will loan them out now. Unfortunately I disconnected the battery as the driver's headlight was out (it's super in the way) and the codes haven't come back in the 9 mile drive to work. I'll see if i can get it to come back and then scan with a better tool.
