My wife and I are interested in the new XT. Is it me or you can only get leather interior with nav? I want leather but the Subaru nav/touchscreen SUCKS. I have a friend with a BRZ and he said he was sure there would have to be a recall of some kind on the nav unit. Always loses signal, changing the radio is a chore and takes your eyes off the road for longer than it should. I don't see an option for leather without the nav?
Btw, this thread is great, lots of great info here. I haven't posted in over 3 years since I sold my 02 WRX.

With XT, it is either the stripped down premium trim without all weather package or fully loaded touring model.

I'm looking for a bigger vehicle next, a forestor, x1 size is what I'm after. I found though, that you can't get a forestor with leather and a manual?! What's up with that. It's offered on the brz, and wrx/sti, but no fozzy >_< |

What a doll. So that basically includes manual transmissions for their sport orientated vehicles that AREN'T sedans like the Subaru Forester XT (buh-bai Legacy GT and Spec.B, Outback XT). And that's perfectly fine since I don't want a manual XT when I can have a DSG or HT-CVT. |

They're either very smart or very dumb. They knew we wanted leather, but most cold give a crap about $2k nav. So... Why not force $2k nav with leather? KaChing! |

Yeah. I'd take an XT premium with leather and be done with it. I don't need eyesight, HID's I can do myself. Come on, Subaru?!

They did it based off previous sales(and inventory complexity). People buying Touring models were more likely to get NAV also; so, the comment that most could give a crap is not accurate. |

My Razr Maxx knows my voice better than my ~$500 Garmin. Unfortunately the Bluetooth quality isn't great in my Subaru so it's a win/lose situation. |

Sure; but that doesn't change the fact of what people actually bought and why Subaru is packaging it the way they are. We just sold 3 NAVs yesterday. |

These stock oddball tire sizes on both the 17" and 18" versions of the Forester are pretty dismal. Your choices are junk car all-seasons or junk truck all-seasons.
People with the XT should just go straight to something like a 245/50/18 for a much wider choice of summer tires and might as well grab some extra width while you're at it. Of course, at that size, the tires are all pretty $$$ though worth it. |

I take it your a salesman/work at a Subaru dealer? If so, have you heard anything about a possible recall for the nav system. Also there is NO way I can get an XT premium WITH leather and NO Nav?

You can run a summer set to basically bald when you only deal with non winter driving conditions. An extra set of used 17" wheel is maybe a few hundred bucks used. After you're done, you sell it back out for the same money. |

Look up an auto upholstry company. They should be able to help. Just make sure they do the leather for the front seat side airbags right. |

The Subaru dealership next to my house actually refer one company to people ergo would like to swap out cloth for leather. The company charges about a grand for the entire car. Just to give you an idea of how much it costs.
