VERY POOR HEATING AND COOLING
The heating and cooling systems in this car are so substandard as to make me regret buying this car, it is hot most of the year and the heat isn't adequate in the winter, especially in the lower compartment. The mileage is not what I hoped for, as I drive in stop and go traffic, but it is good if you do mainly highway driving. The noise level is also unacceptable. Clearly Subaru emphasizes the safety aspects of their cars, but the comfort aspects of the car, especially climate control and noise level, are really lacking. The design, inside and out, is lackluster. On the positive side, the brakes are excellent and the turning radius is great for city driving. The four wheel drive is excellent in snow and ice.

Some things have grown & some have not
It is almost a greatest car. Road handling is great which is why I purchased the car. Interior layout is great. Controls are intuitive and well place. More gauges would be nice instead of the dummy lights. Three very fundamental flaws exist in the drivetrain. The car has grown is size & weight yet the engine has not. The engine can not hold the car going down a hill in any gear even fairly mild one. I think a 3 liter four cylinder would do a better job. Flaw two and three lie in the transmission. First gear is way too high. Parking lots are a clutch riding nite-mare as 7 mph is the slowest possible without the car jumping and bucking. Serious hills require 5000 rpm and long clutch riding to get started on. Chucking the 5th gear ratio and making a new first would solve this. Really, a reverse gear made for 45 mph! Still riding the clutch the car is doing 6 mph is reverse.

Excellent car
Check Edmund on details and recalls. Since I bought this car brand new I don’t have any problems only regular maintenance. Very good in the snow and any weather.
