After determining the root cause of the noise being the A/C compressor, I did indeed cut the belt right off...Success! The screeching sound stopped immediately.

It’s honestly pretty fun to drive, but just know that insurance and gas aren’t cheap, and parts can get expensive if you don’t have a warranty. About two months into owning it, my AC compressor and condenser had to be replaced.

Pros: pretty fun to drive

Cons: parts can get expensive

Mileage: 86000 km

my 2015 had the same exact AC issues. It would come and go cold air wise. I'd be on the highway and it would be blowing warm air. Another day it would be fine, etc. There ended up being a TSB out about the problem and Subaru replaced my AC compressor (back in 2015 or 2016) for free.

Pros: replaced for free under TSB

Cons: intermittent cold air, blowing warm air
