I took one for a spin and I loved it. 375 HP off the line is one thing but that bottomless torque on the interstate is amazing. Handling was excellent on some twisty rural roads. Road noise was on par with my Forester, minus the engine of course. Cabin design and comfort was somewhere between "fine" and "good".

I'm not buying it for the fuel savings, though that will be nice on my daily commute. I'm buying it because I want an Outback-ish vehicle without having to choose between struggling or guzzling. The AC outlet in the back is also genuinely useful for me.

The range is fine for 90% of my driving, and for longer trips, it looks like the per-mile cost for fast charging is roughly on par with the XT's per-mile cost for gas.

So for those of you who bought it, are you happy? Anything that annoys you? Would you buy it again?

Another user posted a link to the map data Subaru is using, and we have pretty good road eligibility in my area. I'm in the market for a new SUV so I took one out last week.

I noticed that during our drive on the interstate, the car was ping-ponging quite a bit in the lane while using handsfree assist. We all noticed it physically and visually. You could feel the car hunting (swaying?) for the entire six miles we had it on. It didn't cross the line, but it was close enough that several times I thought I'd have to jump in and take over. The sway was noticed by other drivers, too; one that was passing me on the left at a pretty good clip slowed down to match my speed before passing after the Outback drifted over towards his lane. Can't say I blame him.

When using standard lane keep / lane centering on a non-handsfree segment, the car was fine. Solid as a rock in the center of the lane.

This was a brand new Outback Touring at a dealership. No other pull, vibration, wobble, or anything else indicative of alignment or tire issues.

Has anyone else experienced this?
