Great car, just not enough color options. This is my third and would buy another.

Electronics nightmare!

I have purchased new cars for 40 years, this 2021 Outback the WORST car I have ever bought. Our 2018 Outback was a solid car that was unfortunately damaged earlier last year. The electronic screen hides nearly everything, is distracting and slow to respond. Everything takes a 2-4 second delay. Eyesight keeps hitting the brakes, seeing obstructions that are not there- I'm afraid it will send me through the windshield! Brought in in for service- dealer could not duplicate eyesight problems so the lemon remains the same. Voice recognition has NEVER worked well and the driver recognition "system" is just plain annoying, constantly beeping, deactivating, and asking questions when entering/exciting car.

The technology is awesome and is worth the cost. We went with the limited trim for the leather interior, rear air vents and rear heated seats. But that is only scratching the surface for what terrific features that come in this trim and even in the premium. Couple the features with how the car drives and it is hands down a top winner.
