Hello, Long time Subaru
Hello, Long time Subaru Customer and Employee. Where has freedom gone? CR is punishing Subaru for giving the ability to the consumer for the car THEY OWN that they shouldn’t be able to turn off the (DMS). First off it was really about safety and not control they wouldn’t dock them. That’s stemming into taking away control of your own features and forcing manufacturers’ to do so. With the DMS system sometimes when wearing a mask or beanies or such the system can confuse you for looking away even when you are not… giving you an audible tone and visual to “stay alert” which could potentially get annoying. This is the reason Subaru has given the ability to their clients. Subaru has always been great for giving the consumer the ability to have a very raw driving experience or have all your safety systems on. Point being CR has lost a lot of respect when that report came out. Manufacturers and dealers will boy cot. Forester is still the safest compact SUV on the road with its ring shape reinforcement and SGP body. CR is pushing manufacturers to give consumers LESS options when it comes to disabling things like Driver mitiagation which could very well make a lot of buyers very very uncomfortable. The system essentially is watching your every movement. OF COURSE it should be an option its not the manufacturers car is the OWNERS !!! Why is CR basically putting Subaru in a corner to take away ability from customers because lord knows Subaru will do anything to be the “safest” on the road. DONT GIVE IN SUBARU WE STILL LOVE YA! Screw these Liberal/Dictator agenda’s.
