the outback is without a doubt the most car like SUV I've ever driven. considering it's really just a lifted wagon, that makes sense.
and then, because the wheelbase is so long, it really does well at providing a very compliant ride on the freeway.
but then the interior feels cheap and dated. all of the controls are through the iPad like monolith screen, which is very slow to act. what physical buttons there are feel like they were designed by a team at fisher price. the seats are nice, the steering wheel feels good, and since we have the wilderness, what little off tarmac use has been done has been a dawdle.
I hope before we plan on getting a new vehicle that they do some serious reconsideration of the infotainment and physical buttons, I really like the way it rides, but I really hate that interior design.
