Have a 2021 Forester Touring the motor blowed at 99105 miles. Being a mechanic the oil was changed faithfully. It never had any warning lights, the rpms never changed or did the temperature gage rise. I was I S drive switched back to I drive the motor started knocking on the driver's side. Call the dealer and they estimate at least $9,000.

I love these new features like automatic lights on/off, auto high/low beam, steering response headlights, off-line warnings, auto dimming mirrors both inside and outside. Excellent visibility all around the car. All these features make it so easy and nice to drive.

Not as solid as last one, rattles

Not that impressed, suspension a bit soft and so many rattles. Three piece dash? Subaru scolded me for wanting the eyesight unit to be fixed because it rattles! I was pissed, they made me feel so small....Great Mpg at the cost of light weight. and squeaks? Also design of wheel arches with 18 rims looks cheap, off the ground with small wheels.
