Along with the off-road/bad weather capability it's really a great freeway ride. Well-balanced steering (w/an amazing turning radius) wonderful ride quality, etc. Only down side is a little more road noise than I'd like. I'd like to do beers with the Subaru engineers, this car is just so intuitive, with nothing done just for flash. Sinple clean and straightforward. Unlike others in it's class, the view in all directions is WIDE open with no obstructions or sweepy curved roof lines to block vision. All in all, seems like a great balance, I'll let you know more as we settle in.
One last thing, the engine seems to have a lot more bottom end torque than the CRV or RAV 4 banger.
