I like saving money on gas. I am used to a 6 cylinder, so it is taking a little while to adjust to 4 cylinders as it does not have as fast a response/sound as my Jeep Overland. I am short and I got tired of having to step up or climb into the Jeep. But now I have to step over and down into the Outback Touring XT. I have not really had it long enough to really set up and learn all the features, so I will update review after a couple months.

Size is GREAT, so is the FEATURES, and LOVE the saddle colored interior, BUT TERRIBLY UNDERPOWERED! After owning Honda CRV's & an Accord Sport 2.0 Turbo, Civic, and various Ford's since 2000 this vehicle is a turd and it's Turbo'd also. If you want a UNDERPOWERED, UNCOMFORTABLE, and DANGEROUS vehicle then buy one. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough, traded it in less than a month of buying it on a 2021 Honda CRV EXL AWD.

There is a big difference between the naturally aspirated and turbo.
