I live in the NE corridor of the USA and it gets cold, frosty, and snowy, hot and himid. I think the heated steering wheel is a waste. The tech offer many other heat and climate options. I do wish it offered a navigation system that reflected onto the HUD, this would keep me safe as I'm often looking away at my GPS to view directions. I also wish that the Forester offered the hands free rear gate just by placing your hand near the rear gains lock, like the Outback does. I need all my feet on the ground to minimize falling as I age. You have to use your foot then quickly place your foot back on the ground to then quickly move out of the path of the gait. I also wish that the Outback or the Forester offered better color mixes for the interior of the car. I don't want to purchase a dark car with a dark interior. The black interiors attracts heat, since there are many climate control tech in the car why does Subaru have nature working against the tech that they engineered it to be climate comfortable, they are opposing forces. Meaning the ivory or the Java brown should be available in all the upper trims of the Forester and Outback, (i wouldnt mind waiting longer nor paying a little more). Colors are important, they affect the mood and comfort leading to a more pleasant experience and may hinder road rage. The color choices are a deal breaker for me. The lack of the navigation in the HUD has made it easier for me to look away from subaru, unfortunately. I wish that I could customize the outback to pay for how I like it, instead of paying for how subaru says we should pay.
