Styling. While controversial, it has a unique style. You won't see every neighbor drivng one (i.e. Rx 330/350).
Least favorite feature:
Gas mileage. Not that good and it requires Premium!!!
Advice to buyer:
Don't let others prejudice (styling) influence your choice.
Detailed review:
We have had this car for 3 months. I bought it for my wife who initially wanted a RX 330 or a Volvo XC 90. Too many of her friends had them (5 alone on our cul-de-sac!!!). We were in search of quality (Subaru has a great history), balanced with performance and value. After researching all of the cars in this class (with a special nod to help from Consumer Reports), we made the choice. Have not regretted it! A Great vehicle for our four season weather here in Chicagoland.
Also considered:
