Just traded in my wife's 13 CrossTrex for a 2016 Forester.
I've driven it about 1000 miles.
It's simply vanilla. Huge sunroof, like 2.5 times the size - only thing I love. Other than that - solid car but boring as hell. You CAN NOT compare it to my 16 GT with tech. The ride is much much higher, luxurious, and solid.
Seriously - it's in a much different class.
If you have specific questions - please ask.
I brought her car in for an oil change and came home with this. She had no clue until I woke her up and asked her to grab my wallet which I left in her car. She walked to the garage and - there it was - new car.
She ABSOLUTELY LOVES this car.
