I have a 2018 Outback Premium I bought new. It has the 2.5 engine and does not have the cruise control with eyesight. I have that on a 2020 Toyota Prius, so I have a basis for comparison. While I like that the Prius slows down on its own when behind a slower car, I find that annoying sometimes, for instance when I don't notice it for a while and was going slower than necessary. The lane departure is a bit bothersome as well. The Outback has been a great car for me, averaging 30MPgG even with air-conditioning on. I've put 80K on it and have not had a single mechanical problem. I did replace rear brakes and rear shocks, but other than that no problems at all. It does not have the power of other cars I've driven, but it is adequate for an old guy like me, someone who raced cars in the past and rode fast motorcycles for many years. We are waiting for the Forester hybrid to become available and are going to replace the Prius; it is a bit too low for us old folks getting in and out. I look forward to getting that.
