4 years ago was when I bought my first new diesel Outback Naviplus, I embraced Subaru immediately and can't stop praising them enough! I'm now 130,000 miles later and looking to buying my third, I was eager to see the new 2014 changes to my ideal car. At first I was very pleased how it looks, although as a person who actually does off road regularly in my job the loss of the plastic protective trims concern me. On driving the new automatic was brilliant, but then came the backward steps. No inbuilt sat nav and a promise of a make do upgrade with a smaller screen, then found the key-less ignition which has been so handy is no longer available on this model - but available on other Subaru models! Ridiculous! Further, even Kias and skodas now have LED headlights, so why not a £30k plus smart Subaru.These are all backward steps in my mind, Subaru really have missed a chance of making something special even better! Does anyone else have issue with this?? It may sound like nit picking, but when you spend a large portion of your time in a car, these little things can make all the difference.
