Not only checked all the boxes for the next car that I wanted to buy, but had more about the car that I enjoy each day. The car has great handling, acceleration, and provides a lot of luxury features for a rugged AWD wagon.

Top of the line 2018 3.6r touring. Less than a year old and less than 10k when issues started. Infotainment system had multiple black out, squiggling line issues before completely failing. Subaru did replace with “updated” unit after 5 weeks of driving around with nothing I paid for (nav, Harmon Kardon sound, Bluetooth, back up camera). Called Subaru customer service number, very nice. They told me they would make it a more positive experience? Not sure what that means as they haven’t followed up or offered anything to me. Saying something and doing are 2 different thing folks. Rattles in this car are like a disease. They come and go and I never know why. I’ve have had several that sound like they’re behind the...you guessed it, infotainment system. Maybe there’s some parts just rolling around that nobody has found. Latest issue, the passenger side climate control temperature display went blank for no apparent reason. After turning unit off and back on it shows itself again. I wonder what the next year of ownership brings, ugh!
