The back cargo area doesn’t lie flat.

The back cargo area doesn’t lie flat. That is some thing that I think is needed in a SUV. The control arms went out at 40k the AC compressor Went out 60k . Drives like a go cart was written below. I guess that’s taking a lot away from go carts. But it definitely isn’t powerful. Off road ability is poor for something that’s supposed to be dirt road capable.

My 4th Subaru is my favorite

I've had three other Subarus and this one is my favorite. One of the best parts about this car is how spacious it feels inside. The tall roof combined with the panoramic sunroof bring the outside in and make for a happy drive. It also has the famous Subaru boxer engine and AWD. Road noise is a bit louder than competitors, but that's ok to me because it makes the ride more fun. Also like the Eyesight suite of safety features. It adds a level of confidence to my commute. It also holds a lot of cargo when it needs to do it.
