Yep! Much like the Subaru, the first step is typically spacers at the top of the shock mounts. Like this:

The other thing I forgot to mention, is it’s hard to compare handling of the Alltrack versus the Outback, in that they’re two completely different size classes. The Alltrack is like an Impreza / Crosstrek with a proper wagon butt. The driving dynamics are completely different in this size car compared to a midsize…

Yep, so far the “normal” everyday solutions have been spacers- https://www.thebeardeddetailer.com/swag-store/alltrack-tiguan-atlas-lift-kit

As someone who sold Subarus from 2008-2018, and bought a Golf Sportwagen w/4Motion/DSG last year, I can say that for every person who bought an Alltrack because it’s more responsive than an Outback, there’s probably an equal amount buying spacers and oversized tires for their Alltrack, trying to turn it into a mini…

Probably still really bad for the fish but nice enough sounding that we forget about it til it’s too late

“BACK UP LIKE A COUNTAAACH BACK UP BACK UP LIKE A COUNTAAACH”

Another thing that affects whether a dealer will budge or not, speaking from car sales experience, is where a dealer has the car priced in relation to what they had into it.

The knowledge I acquired from that story is what led me to open this page, and scroll down to the poll and click NOPE before coming back up to read.

It’s like a Japanese car review show of an E36 and there is a woman in a pink bikini and cowboy hat giggling in the passenger seat.

Not thinking about Subaru and concept cars is a very important defense mechanism if you’re a Subaru fan, as they will invariably disappoint you when the real product looks nothing like the concept.

I’m no William Kirby but that sure looks like a proboscis to me.

Yeah... as I got to the part about what he will actually be doing, I just thought of Singer or ICON but with less attention to detail and more Italian-ness.

Yes yes, who got the keys to my RS we goin’ on a road test

This is amazing, I cannot star it enough.  Hard hitting AF journalism

I understand- and to that point, for me, the stick shift on the Crosstrek made it unenjoyable.  Whereas I normally enjoy driving manuals.

Yikes.  They should have gladly done it!

Agreed.  I would like to see the NRA champion this as a case of a firearm being used for good.  Something tells me they won’t.

I sold Subarus for 10 years, up until a few months ago- good amount of time with the manuals, both owned by me and driving inventory. When they switched to the 6 speed, you’re spending a crazy amount of time keeping the car in the extremely narrow torque range. It’s not fun. At all. It was slightly more fun with the 5…

Subaru still has it on Crosstrek but it’s faster with a CVT.

And that singling out does not fly directly in the face- it is logically fallacious to imply that just because one rich kid, son of a megastar, has it easy, that the rest of the black community does.

You are proportionally off by a massive massive number, in your data pool.

You are also being an ass. You’re saying…
