Worst vehicle I have ever encountered. Rear seats are, like the engine, just poor design and quality. The flat four will leak oil, the seals will not hold, it will burn oil. The seats, as compared to anything on the market, are a joke. They have gaps and are 100% manual. Not user friendly, or very functional. The rear cargo area is thus wasted, you will only have about half of the space that is claimed. The voice recognition, is something my wife just laugh at, and Tom Tom is wrong, if I am generous, 70% of the time. Traffic via Sirius on the wife's car is always useful. You will get warning in the Audi well ahead of time and viable alternate routes. the ascent is a joke, you are in the jam and stuck for 20 minutes before you get a notice. And the route suggestions took us into a old rail yard being converted to a distribution center on one occasion, and onto a dirt road that was blocked by the state. Tom Tom is just pathetic, and frankly we see Subaru success in the market place as 70% brilliant marketing, 29%, the resulting puppy love cult following, 1% just stuck with a vehicle you bought, and you have to rave about it because you are too embarrassed to tell the truth. they are crap.

Pretty good 3 row suv. Has decent power for a h-4 turbo of its size but has weird cvt transmission that throws you off some. Not bad so far.
