Great entry for going with an electric car

Good value! First car I’ve ever leased at $230 a month for 3 years. Range is 250 miles per charge. Nice power to get out in traffic. I’m quite impressed so far with the vehicle. Quirky interior but I like it.

Test drove the Soltera Limited. No experience with electric vehicles. Seemed very quick at the start. Drove well for such a heavy car, you could really feel the weight. The steering wheel was pretty small dia wise. Roof felt low. Side window was short. Rear hatch seemed real long/deep, not sure how I feel about that. Rear seat floor didn't have the well you expect in floors, feels like you're stepping up into the cabin. Not at all impressed with the interior. I should state that I have a 2020 Forester touring with the brown leather trim. I would like something like that in an EV. Very cool self-park, aerial view, wireless phone charge. Think I'll wait for the next iteration. There may be some bugs to work out, the dealer had to postpone my test drive for some obscure reason. I went online to "Build my own" Soltera. To build your own, you pick Premium, Limited, or Touring. unless you want an ashtray or weather tek floor mats you can't build your own.

Almost a good Car

The Solterra would be a great car if the range was anywhere close to what is advertised and or promised by Subaru... in reality the range is only averaging about 60 to 70 percent of the 220 miles for a full charge... the range estimates are pure fabrications and Subaru knows it... have been a Subaru owner for well over 40 years and will never buy another due to the deceptions and dealer lies and excuses... !!!

I ❤️ my car. I can get it to be 290 instead of 228. The wheel is great to handle and it is a smooth ride.

Short range and cheap interior

This is my 4th Subaru and I had a Legacy, Forster and Outback before and I was very impressed by all of them. This car drives nice and solid but I found couple of issues with it which is not nice: - Range is on the short side for a car of this class and this price - interior design is sloppy and cheap, location of steering wheel is very annoying, many options I had on my formers Subarus are missing here, upholstery is low quality, inter cabin nose of blinds are irritating, I think most of the designs are done with Toyota (for example cup holder) - The software and panel are poorly designed, they have to hire a UX UV designer to rebuild the interfaces, many issues are hard to find or mysterious. Also the cpu and or memory is weak and it crashes time to time (this is my main comment)
