The XT or turbo engine on my Outback Limited is fantastic. It’s a quiet engine unlike the 2.4L engine. The 2.4L engine sounded like it had to “work” to get the car moving. Definitely worth the extra money to purchase the XT or turbo engine.

Cheaply made

My car is just about 4 years old. Very lightly driven and well taken care of and falling apart. The leather is cheap, the roof rack is peeling. It’s just so badly made. And I hate hate hate all the computerized components

rides beautifully, 11.5 inch screen is somewhat distracting... great safety features.
