I have had it 'ghosts' the controls and flip between radio and AUX and then repeat the same part of a song over and over without touching anything. I have drives where it turns white and is basically frozen. In addition to having mechanical issues out the box, the head unit is an absolute piece of garbage. This a real quality control problem and reflects badly on the overall reliability of the cars parts. I work in manufacturing and know this is BS, they remove 0.050" of new brakes around 2000 miles and this fixed the problem only now i'll need new brakes before too long. The dealer tried to tell me it was because the brand new machine ground brakes … were 'too rough' and that their brake lathe could do a better job. The brake rotors were out of tolerance and caused shuddering when braking at speeds greater then 40 mph. I bought it brand new and right away had issues that the dealership did not want to address. That's about how much good I can say for this car. Yes, this is a Subaru and will drive excellent in the snow. as an aside We drove through Mass, Vermont, NH and Maine on a holiday and I've never seen so many outbacks, foresters and a few imprezza's, crosstrek. I think people need to be reminded that Subaru is not marketed as a luxury car, expectation seem to run high. Car rides nicely and still happy with the purchase. Had the first oil change at 6 months and it was done quickly probably not longer than an hour and a half which was half a day shorter than i'm used to. I see some have had problems here, coming from VW this car is a dream! UPDATE: averaging 26 mpg island driving, the car has loosened up a bit so steering isn't so touchy, the gas peddle has either loosened up or I'm used to the car. the screen did go blank once but i just turned the radio off and back on and that seem to fix it (you should hear the stories on the VW"s!).so far I'm happy with a station wagon that portrays itself as a SUV.everyone that I've told I've got a subaru have said "Oh those a great cars" I'm serious not one back personal review. I've not put too many miles on it so a later review would be appropriate. engine noise is minimal, road sounds is subdued (better than the passat). Cargo space is fantastic, I got the seat back protectors and when seats folded down, tones of space (i use the care for deliveries) It's no sports car and is not sold as that. ride is comfortable and quiet (to me) gas mileage so far is fairly good aroun 26 average (i live on and island so no freeway driving. as some have said it's a bit jumpy on the gas pedal as the car engages immediatly, the brakes felt a bit mushy but they are very effiecient. Any way to shorten the story, after he showed me what had on the lot, we went back to the base model, I sat it, saw the easy air con controls and the size of the back are with seats down, said this is it!.never test drove it. The guy was so knowledgeable about the car it was impressive. ![]() By the way, It was the best buying expericence I've ever had getting a car. I … went into the dealership and there was a base model in the showroom so the sales guy first had me take a look at it. First let me say I'm one of the few people in the US that LIKES station wagons. I saw an add for small discount on some Subaru models so I went to the dealership to check them out. I had been looking at the new Tiquan but the problems seem to be plenty on the first year model. I had a 3003 Passat wagon which I really loved until it got too old and too expensive to keep on the road.
