Thanks for the laugh. I bought a 2021 Forester which was rated No. 1 by Consumer Reports and which I am in the process of selling after only 15,000 miles. It is the worst car I have owned in my 64 years of driving and the most irritating. So much of the software fails miserably. For example, I have my image installed twice, one wearing sun glasses and one without. Even so, the software fails to ID my image about 50% of the time, after which is resets my side view mirrors so they are aimed downward.

Often times, I get the message to keep my eyes on the road about every 10 seconds even though I am looking straight ahead. The only way to stop that is to pull over, turn off and then restart the engine.

The high beam headlight reverts to regular even when on a totally dark road.

I could add a few more as well, one being how poorly the auto handles going over road bumps and dips. Kind of feels like riding a camel in the desert.

My wife, who has her own car, dislikes the Subaru.

Sounds like the that is trying the so smart it has lost sight of its function.

That problem has plagued many a late model year vehicle unfortunately not just Subaru.

Toyota for the most part has kept the practicality up thru the tech revolution.
