Hate the way the low beam head lights work. Just seam to go out so far and quit with a line. Hard to find a turn when going down the road at night the low beams do not light up side of road.

This is my second Subaru. Love it. Comfortable and economical daily driver. Spacious enough to haul lots of stuff. Quick acceleration. Nice array of bells and whistles in the Limited. Giant moonroof. Not a hybrid unfortunately but hardly a gas-guzzler.

Rented Forrester wilderness for a drive across country after our flight got canceled - drove about 1000 miles on highways and mountains… oh boy, who at Subaru thought of building this car as a mass market vehicle is beyond me. 1) it’s super loud inside the car at highway speed to the point that you can barely hear passengers, not even saying anything about radio/audio system (audio system is complete junk as well - for $40k vehicle) 2) the car is unstable beyond 75mph - vibrates and shakes - it’s pure scary driving this thing. It’s also been a while since I drove a car that has visible shaking of trunk cover at highway speed. 3) adaptive cruise control is ok, but lane keeping assist is garbage - doesn’t keep car stable in lane and feels like locks the wheel for corrections (I have new VW and certainly know how this supposed to feel in the correctly built system, this ain’t it). 4) driving this car beyond a short trip around town is very tiring and annoying. I guess if you buy this car to off-road on various trails or piles of snow it should do well but don’t assume this car is going to work well for any longer road trips… or is a comfortable drive - it’s on par with driving an old truck or a military vehicle.
