7000 miles so far, impressions are - traction is amazing at all speeds, acceleration is thrilling, technology is good, steering responsive headlights are useful, overall visibility is amazing, driving position is perfect, eyesight technology works flawlessly, interior materials could be better at some places, wish rear air vents and passenger 'power' seat were provided, steering is precise but road feeback is so so. The dash around passenger air bag area is not smooth and I don't like it. The seats are too small, lack of thigh support.

Great Sporty SUV - Subaru XT

This is a great car. Subaru is famous for not having the best exterior design as Germans, but let me tell you, We (wife and me) leased 12 Cars in 15 years. I drove from Honda Civic up to Audi A4 and BMW X3. All people complain about turbo lag on turbo engines but on Subaru it is almost not present. CVT transmission makes this car fast having linear acceleration with few time between the demand for an increase in power . Subaru has many of years of experience in Rallies with turbo engines, while other brands such as Mazda, Ford and Toyota has poor experience (Check reviews on turbo problems for 2017-2018 Mazda Cx-9 and also for Lexus cars). I changed wheels for a wider ones and it looks great and perform better (It has a greater offset). Now, due to its boxy design cargo area is amazing. Lots of visibility and room. Interior design is simple but logic. All controls are placed in the right spot. Also Eye technology has many years on the market. Subaru is the pioneer on it, and it works great!! My sister is starting to have problems with the Honda sensing technology on her brand new 2017 CRV. Her car stops by itself with no reason (it seems suffers from shadowing). Sound system (Harman and Kardon) is great with huge bass. However, No car is perfect. Subaru needs to improve seats. Those are very flat and not comfortable for long trips. I hope the new Ascent will have better seats. Getting 22 MPG in city on premium for a 250HP car is great. Magazines such as Car and Driver and MotorTrend do not like to mention this car or compare to others because it will beat many common competitors such as Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4 or Tucson. ANY of them offer a real powerful engine to compete with Subaru Forester XT. This is my Second XT in 3 years. It is a great SUV making a balance among price, performance and Reliability (It is still assembled in Japan!!!)

Subaru should start making wagons again

Too bad Subaru doesn't make wagons anymore. I had a 2004 Forester XT that was so much fun to drive. Subaru got bitten by the SUV bug in a big way, quite the shame. I now drive a BMW 328 sport wagon, and the Forester dwarfs my car in the parking lot. Even the Outback seems fat and ungainly. Subaru should get back to what made them attractive in the first place- 4WD and wagons.

This is our 6th Subaru, and so far best one yet, powerful, good looking, EyeSight is really great better then anybody else so far, stock tires not so good, took them of at the dealer and put Michelin Premier AS just to be safe, stock one sold on craigslist, we've got all possible options on it, and we really love it, brown interior looks great, really fun to drive, definatly recommend to any one who is looking for Subaru, visibility are tremendous too.
