The car has under 15k miles, 3 years old, and well taken care of - yet I still had to buy a new battery. I didn't bother with the stealership so instead I went and purchased a DieHard Platinum AGM group 36 650 CCA battery. I no longer have to worry about going out to my car first thing in the morning and finding my car dead. I always had the car in the garage, nothing plugged into it so no idea what caused the battery to constantly die. I would charge it up on a slow trickle charger but within a few days it would be dead again. Thanks a lot, Subaru.

Subaru knows all about this as they got sued. SUBARU BATTERY SETTLEMENT
Pull the dcm/ telematics fuse or get a bypass harness and get rid of the starlink bullshit and your battery wont keep dying. I hate my Subaru WRX as its been one problem after the next. Ill never buy another Subaru ever again!
