Thank you!

That’s the plan tomorrow evening. My app is within a degree of my neighbor (who drives a 2018 Legacy) so it’s not that off.

Temperature is also 62 degrees according to the themometer outside of my local Walgreens.

Your point about the phone app is fair. However, I was just outside with my neighbor about 15 minutes ago. How is the thermostat in his 2018 Legacy reading 60 right now while mine is reading 72? His car is parked right behind mine. Current temperature (per the atomic clock temperature on my front porch - not my phone) is 61 degrees and rain. You make good points but something is clearly off.

Okay, but what variables would cause a situation such as this evening (61 degrees and pouring down rain)? I went out to dinner and got into my car. The thermostat read 64. Close enough - no big deal. By the time I got to the exit of the parking lot, the thermostat was reading that it was 71 degrees. After I pulled out and got onto the highway, the temperature dropped again. I understand that there are different variables such as the sun, etc, but I have owned several cars with ambient temperature indicators. This has only happened with this car. I love the car and I get that something like this shouldn’t really be that big of a deal, but again, I just feel that an investment like a brand new car shouldn’t be having any kind of issue.

Mainly the temperature from two different weather apps on my cell phone. I know that the temperature will be a lot higher when first getting into a car on a sunny day, but this even happens when it’s cooler and pouring down rain. I’ve even seen the temperature increase as I’ve been driving.

I understand all sides here. I guess with me its just a matter of principle. A brand new, expensive piece of equipment such as a car should be working 100% as intended.

That depends on how slow people are driving and how late I’m running! Haha

I have a base model, so I don’t have auto-HVAC.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2019 Impreza. The ambient temperature always seems to be showing as several degrees warmer than the actual temperature outside. Has anyone else experienced or noticed this? I can understand maybe a degree or two, but it always seems to be up by at least four or five degrees (I’ve seen it as much as ten). The dealership says that it’s operating normally. It’s not really a huge deal since it has nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the car, but I’m a bit of a perfectionist and it’s going to drive me nuts, lol. I previously drove a 2015 Impreza and didn’t notice this. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Good evening! I’m new to the board and just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I’m Jason and I recently purchased my second Subaru, a 2019 Impreza!
