Must haves for new car? Plus general advice request :)
Hi Folks! :)
I’ll be receiving my Crosstrek (26 Touring) sometime later this week, pretty excited! It’s my first car, hoping I made a good choice.
I wanted to ask what accessories/ gadgets you would recommend to have in the car for either safety or generally a better driving experience?
So far on my list I’ve got:
-first aid kit
-blindspot mirrors (already have blindspot monitors but I figure wouldn’t hurt)
-bike rack
-tomtom? In case of no cell service, idk if that’s a little extreme
And if anyone has advice on how I can keep this car for as long as possible, like 10-15 years?
I plan to follow maintenance schedule strictly. I also wanna avoid possibly having any head gasket or coolant and oil mixing issues.
Since I’ve signed the contract all I’ve been reading are horror stories of people getting “chocolate milk” in spite of following the maintenance schedule and it’s kinda freaking me out😭 and these were all relatively new cars
