Pros
Ride and Handling
we own other Subarus and this one has a superior ride and handling.
Cons
Interior Space
I wish I had bought the bench seat for the middle row, because the third row is too small for anyone other than kids.
Pros
Value
So many great safety and comfort features for the price
Cabin Noise
Fairly quiet inside
Power
Pretty good power for the size, passing is no problem

Fuel economy has been disappointing, and below the estimated MPG we were expecting

Cargo Space
Interior Space
Seat Comfort
Cons
Pros

fun to drive, spacious, very nice interior
Seat Comfort
comfortable captains chairs , love the heated steering wheel
Technology and Entertainment
Cons
Fuel Economy
Pros
Power
great power for its size.
Technology and Entertainment
love the eyesight technology. apparently not many people in Arizona know what cruise control is, the variable cruise control really helps maintaining gaps between cars even though they don’t know how to maintain speed
Ride and Handling
very comfortable for long distance trips.
Cons
Interior Space
once the third row seats are being used there isn’t much cargo space. we had to invest in a rooftop cargo carrier to fit everything we needed with a full car of passengers.
Cabin Noise
not exactly cabin noise but their is an annoying vibration sound with the eyesight module and module cover. we solved it with inserting a felt pad between the two. not sure why Subaru hasn’t figured this out by now or at least recalled it.
Cost to Maintain
drivers cooled seat fan is already going out and it has less than 30k miles. it won’t be covered by warranty and it isn’t cheap to fix. do better Subaru.
Pros
Ride and Handling
It has such a smooth ride.
Cargo Space
Value
The car was definitely a great buy. Low-mileage with all of the features I wanted.
Cons
Technology and Entertainment
As noted above.
