Rolled over 60k km yesterday, the 3yr warranty expired the day before. Nailed it.

I was shopping for a car to replace the WRX but I haven’t found anything else I really like enough. (Continued complaints about the lack of Crosstrek XT in Subaru’s lineup.)

Traction control off. As it should be in Canadian winter.

That’s step two, after starting the car. :)

It's step three for me, with step two disabling the auto start/stop in the F-150.

Have you looked at S5 Sportbacks? I’ve recently begun to covet those.

It can’t be set to stay off completely? :/

Not really - I’m looking for something with more rideheight so an S5 doesn’t really fit the bill, cool as it’d be. I don’t want to pay the depreciation either. I’ve considered a CPO A4 allroad, might have to test drive one if I get a chance, they’re quite  scarce.

Both traction/stability control and the auto start/stop both default on each time the truck starts.
