In Love Again
This car is a joy to ride. Powerful, responsive, comfortable, yum. I am not in love with the look of the car. But god i love driving it. It costs with a very high electric company tariff about 1.40 /gal equiv. I offset that cost with solar panels. No waiting at long lines for gas, just plug into 240 or faster charge. faster does it in overnight with an empty tank. Slow in about 24 hrs. SO easy. Driving isn't the chore it once was. i liked my hybrid, but this is so far more advanced. I drive listening to my cell phone news and music over the car radio. It even steers on highway turns but tells you to put yr hands back on the wheel if you leave the helm. The steering is nice in tight situations, a friend on board. Mirror warnings of people and cars nearby. Looking forward to 4 wd in snow! Buy it. I got mine used with 6000 miles for 25000. Fantastic!

Subaru Solterra misreports mile range on odometer
I had a bad experience recently buying and it was claimed that the Solterra can travel 303 miles on a fully charged battery without climate control. The odometer also displays 303 miles though somewhere in the owners manual it says that the mileage may be around 220. I filed a complaint with BBB of NJ against Subaru of America but they could not care less despite my being a Subaru owner for 40 years. However, the dealership acted very responsibly and allowed me to trade the Solterra for an Outback.

Overall good, but the little things are annoying
First I will start with saying the estimated range is a fabrication. I’ve never even gotten the 220 they claim with ac on. Charging is unacceptably slow compared to almost every other vehicle, even at super chargers! The AC waits to turn on, and I live in Florida, so I’m forced to pay for the remote start via app. But the most egregious issue is how you must put the car in one petal driving, EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT. It takes 4, yes FOUR, manual process to do this and it doesn’t remember it in driver memory. (Horrible). But, it is smooth, plenty fast and comfortable ride. Luckily I chose to lease, as the technology has already changed.

Small interior
I am just 6”, 300 lbs, and I had a tough time getting into the car. Nice when in, but my Crosstrek has much more space. Must be Toyota influence as Subaru has always made a large opening for people.

HVAC system problems, poor range, slow DCFC.
Smooth driver, great if you never want to drive more than 150 miles. Avoid if you A) ever take a road trip and B) want a reliable vehicle.
