I have a 2023 Outback Touring XT (fully loaded with all 3 cameras) and Subaru's system is garbage. My girlfriend's 2017 Mazda CX-5 does a better job with almost all of the safety systems while my Subaru can't even follow the lines on small bends in the road. I live in the mountains and 90% of my driving is with Eyesight providing almost no assistance, even on major interstates. That is of course when it wants to work. With only 14k miles on the car, I have had it disable itself almost a dozen times, almost always in 'perfect' weather (60-70s, sunny and around Noonish - no sun angle problems).

I had a basic 2023 rental pick-up truck for about a month when my Subaru was rear-ended and that NEVER lost the lines on the mountain roads. It was night and day the difference. The truck also had no problem seeing cars correctly in the distance, whereas my Outback either provides a mile of space to the car in front or I'm riding their bumper. There is no happy medium. (the truck drove like shit and hurt my back)

Due to the truck hurting my back, I turned it in for a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder. Again, the vehicle had no problem keeping the line, keeping a reasonable distance and actually making the car safer.

In short, anyone that says Subaru's system is great has never driven ANY competitor's car in the last 5 or so years, maybe longer. This was my first and last Subaru. (the CVT is garbage too)
