I'm disappointed that Subaru is using a drive shaft for the rear wheels. That will lower gas and electric mileage compared to the two-motor system used by Toyota. (Well, Toyota actually uses three electric motors in the RVA4 Prime, two in front and one in back.)

I had owned perhaps 7 Subarus between 1977 and 2023, when, in frustration over Subaru's lack of a decent hybrid, I purchased a Toyota RAV4 Prime. The all-electric rear axle is great. The car is mostly on FWD mode unless the computer senses that the rear wheels are necessary. In my Subarus the drive shaft and multiple differentials were wasting power all the time.
