I had a 2013 Legacy for 10 years and pretty much loved it. It was getting to be in rough shape so I bought a brand new 23 Forester. I’ve had it for about a week, and the only thing that I can say is that I absolutely hate it. As a bit of backstory, I wanted the Outback originally, but I didn’t want the awful infotainment center and I didn’t like the way the Outback handled. I drove a bunch of other cars (the Volvo, Mercedes, VW) but was fixated on Subaru‘s storage space, so I bought the Forester. The awful things on the Forester are almost too many to list. I can’t stand the incessant beeps that come from the Eyesight system. It slams on the brakes when I back up in my driveway simply because there are shrubs in my yard. The power liftgate is absolutely obnoxious and has already come down on my husband’s head once unprovoked. I cannot believe that Subaru was so stupid as to make it so that you had to unlock the car to unlock the gas cap. This is just completely unsafe and leaves me vulnerable to getting my purse stolen every time I buy gas. I am so sorry I bought this car. Even with the limited Trim, it still comes with a manual passenger seat, which I really think is just a cheap out on Subaru’s part. I’ll probably keep it a year and trade it. Does anyone else feel the same way?

We tried that - it went off the rails and so we do not actively encourage those sorts of posts
