![]() And many of us HATE leather and I am of that tribe. I am the owner of a 2021Subaru Outback XT and beg to differ on a number of points.ġ- The fabric does not feel cheap and foamy and is well suited to the purpose of the Outback. So my wife and I are looking for an SUV with a V-6 and multi-speed automatic. So to the Subaru engineers that might happen to read this-My wife and I generally prefer to tour in my much quieter Ram with it's hemi and 8-speed. So while my wife who does most of the driving I am using the Garmin GPS suffering it's annoying wires but getting where I want to go by the route I choose. The same seat switch that harasses the passenger into using a seatbelt could trigger the GPS to allow this. The idea that they refuse to consider the possibility of a passenger/ navigator using the GPS while traveling is inane. ![]() Further, the nanny idiot mentality responsible for the unlikable "safety" traits of the Onyx, have made the navigation system unusable to the point where it was a total waste of money. Between the CVT and poor soundproofing the cabin noise level makes this car undesirable for touring. I also miss the much quieter conventional automatic transmission of that car. I have logged several million miles with turbo diesels but I don't want a turbo in my family car. I miss the normally aspirated boxer 6 of our last Outback Sedan. (And possibly our last! I hope Subaru is reading this!) Like 3 of our 4 previous Sooby's this one is now over 100K miles and is my wife's delight.
