Evening everyone Need to change to an automatic with an electronic handbrake. My wife has a bad shoulder and she really struggles to change gear and use the handbrake. We have a 2018 Diesel Forester manual which has only done 5300 miles (it's also for sale if any of you are interested) it's looked after and we had intended keeping it for a few more years. Tried a Forester petrol hybrid auto and wasn't impressed it felt very skittish compared to our diesel which feels really planted. Decided to try an Outback and was very impressed with the ride quality and general feeling of less agriculture and more luxury over the Forester. However my wife quite likes sticking the toe in and giving the forester some heat. She's a very competent driver and the diesel forester goes well. This is my dilemma, the outback is a 2022 limited 2.5 petrol auto and I'm afraid she's eventually going to hate it from a sticking your toe in point of view. Desperate to stay with Subaru as they are fantastic cars, different and capable. Suppose I'm looking for a wee bit of affirmation that this isn't a huge mistake. Anyone else made the transition?

Cheers for the reply, decided I'm just going to use my phone. To much hassle new thinks👍

Evening everyone Not been here for a few years as I left and bought an x trail 🥴 Tbh it's been fine but it ain't a Forester. My wife and I looked at a 2018 Subaru Forester 2.0D XC today and pushed the button. She loved the old Forester and there was no going back once she'd had it up the road. Only thing is it hasn't got sat nav. What's the best way to proceed? Buy a Subaru nav head unit from a breaker or another aftermarket one with adapters. My inclination is to keep it Subaru but how would I get the antenna wired up? Used to mess about with phone holders but they were a pain, falling off and cables etc. Any advice/photos etc would be very much appreciated. Pick it up on Thursday, can't wait. Cheers Kev
