Love this in the snow. Outstanding in NH winters. Wish mileage was better though not bad for its size. Zero to sixty could be better.

Update: I've had this a little over 4 years and I still love it. The only issue I have is with the dashboard button to lift the rear door. Occasionally I can only open it by getting out of the car and using the open grip on the door. The only goody it doesn't have is automatic windshield wipers. I wish it had them. ~ My previous vehicle was 18 years old. There was a learning curve with all the new technology in this car. Once I figured out all the technicalities, I wonder how I did without them. The gas mileage is awesome.

The car is ok but I've had so many little technical errors and I've only had it for 2 years. The switch to move the seat only sometimes works. The touch screen ghost pushes buttons and I'm told to fix it costs thousands of dollars and the most annoying part, there is no off button, all I can do is turn the volume down. My tire gauge sensor is glitchy and again the annoying part is I can't adjust my display settings until I "fix it" (which they have done multiple times). If the battery dies prepare to tow the whole car cuz it will lock itself down or you'll have to call a lock smith just to pop the hood to charge it. If you lose your key fob the car alarm will go off EVERY TIME you unlock the car with the key until you drop $300 on a new key fob. To open the trunk you have to turn the car completely off. If the car dies while the trunk is open, once you get it going again the alarm will go off continuously and the only fix is to drive to Subaru dealership (with the alarm blaring the entire time) and get them to reset it. Subaru has designed this car so you HAVE to take it to them to fix every tiny little thing. For how much I paid for this car I should not have to pay as much as I have to maintain it. Also note that the radio display does well working with apple phones but if you have a Droid or Google phone good luck getting it to integrate.

Better than expected

It is bigger than the 2009 or earlier models. Eye Sight takes a bit of getting used to but works great once you learn what to expect. Smart cruise control has caught me distracted a couple of times. Backup warning for oncoming traffic saved me once. Lane change warning usually confirms what I already knew but occasionally keeps me in lane. The AWD is, as usual, outstanding. It doesn't cut in as often as my BMW did because it doesn't need to!
