> wagon that pretends to be an suv

Yup. Perfect for light offroading without the SUV tax on maintenence or fuel economy. More importantly, there's a dealership in my town which means five minutes to servicing.

> cant stand new subaru infotainment

It's always on CarPlay, so couldn't care less.

> tech is kinda behind in the car

It's a car. It needs to drive.

The only surprise is the lane-keeping, which can drive through near-whitehout conditions as long as there is someone ahead of me staying on the road.

My main gripe is that it's so much more expensive than it's competition and offers less. Sound system is great though for it's class. I've driven a 23 outback limited

I was going between Subaru's and Ford's offerings (again, starting and ending with who had dealerships in my small town, which also included Chevy but I can't remember why I ruled them out or if I explicitly did), and the maintenance chat on the newer Fords was pretty much one way while the Subarus were the other. Fine paying up for not having to randomly take the car into the shop.

Still miss my '03 Jetta, if I'm honest, though I suppose there's no little-sister-untotalling it. (And it wouldn't handle in the snow like something higher up.)
