Hello,
I suppose it's like everything out there now, there will always be negative reviews and the internets just made it easier to have your opinion heard,
Comparing it with any German car is a bit harsh as interior quality look/feel etc will always fall short, jap interiors are notoriously pants if you've spent time in an audi or bm,
Mechanically though you can't go wrong with a subaru, permanent 4wd is much better than the vag haladex systems in my opinion,
Running costs aren't that bad, as long as you can source parts & have a good independent rater than having your pants pulled down by a main dealer,
Price point is another thing, if you buy new, what around 30k these days for a new leggy ? You can guarantee it will come with a load of stuff as standard, that would add a load of money onto the options list on a similarly priced audi/BMW
