If I was forced to get one, I'd get a Touring XT, to get the java leather. The fact that HVAC is on the touch screen is rage inducing. The infotainment screen is underwhelming too.
I have owned 2 Subarus both Forester and Outback. Enjoyed both. Not quite enough leg room for me at 6’2”. Tiring on a long journey. No physical buttons now. I hope the head unit never goes wrong or you are screwed. Eyesight safety system is superior. Cvt transmission worked well. Never understood cvt detractors whining. If you are a Subaru fan the Ascent is the one to get imo.
It’s okay, but the MURANO SL has more luxury features like a panoramic moonroof, 20” rims, and a 360 cam for less. MURANO has 260 hp standard without turbo lag. You must go touring to get a 360 cam like the MURANO SL and MURANO is more stylish, honestly everyone knows outbacks 10:30 are more known for practicality than style they are”fugly “😅
Nice car..but $43K for a not the top line of the Outback? Wow! Fog lamps and overly heavy appearance of roof rack detract from vehicle looks. Nice..but questionable value..what about a base Forester in the same sharp, dressy-looking grey? Add the alloy wheel package plus contoured splash guards and nice all weather mats. Value at its best!! Nice solid car. Very good review..Subaru, in my opinion, is "out of its element" in this price class..and, oh..skip the dealer installed wheel locks..just a price pack..what's next??..a "doc. fee"??
