I like their price/features/stellar awd and reliability up to 100k miles. That being said. Just got home from a 2600 mile jaunt through the West's wide open spaces. I noticed numerous times with multiple new/newish Subaru's a pattern that confirms what I saw a couple summers back on my last Western swing. 80mph speed limit, cruise set at 82-83 on the freeway. Passed by Subaru doing 85mph+ get to next uphill portion of same road. Pass said Subaru that is now laboring up the grade at sub 82-83mph speed, sometimes substantially slower than the speed the old lady's minivan is locked onto. I like it best when they get out of the fast lane like any courteous driver would do and let the faster vehicles pass which is about everyone. This happened dozen's of times. I think the engines on these cars are fully adequate as far as horsepower if I recall. Is the gearing/CVT that far off?
