I have a 2011 Outback 3.6r which now has 166,000+ miles on it. I bought it about 4 years ago for $8,000. I love the car. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. Powerful engine without needing a turbo. NO cvt. NO ugly and distracting touch screen. Excellent AWD. Minimal electronic gadgets. Gas mileage is more than sufficient. It's a shame that the new Outback no longer meets my wants and needs.
I don't really understand why, if cell phones are illegal to touch while driving, then why using a car touch screen is not. I have seen bad accidents due to distracted drivers.
Sorry for rambling. I love my Outback. Just not happy with recent car trends in general.
