Just bought a Subaru Outback Ltd. & traded my 09 CRV EX. The Ouback rides smooth & road noise is minimum. However Subaru missed to include automatic door locks & illuminated buttons on the home link which is hard to see at night. I don't also like that they require synthetic oil & replaced it every 6 mos or 6 k miles. I drive 5k miles per year & this increase maintenance costs 6 times compared to my CRV. My 03 BMW also require synthetic oil but does not require oil change every 15K miles.
