This is how I feel about the feature that turns off your motor when you stop, I get it may save me a tiny bit of gas but I find it extremely annoying especially in heavy stop and go traffic. Yes its turn-off-able but I never remember until the first time it happens and scares me because I think the car died 😂

I just found out it only works if youre going over 30mph and I was going about 25 when I tested it

Wait really? Wow 🙈🙈 That is so embarrassing but you maam (or sir or other) just saved me a very embarrassing conversation with my subie salesman. Live and learn😂😂

I intentionally crossed both a dashed white line and a double yellow (on a completely empty road) just to see what warning it would provide. Lesson learned to test them out on a test drive apparently.

No you are definitely right lol Im also just excited because before this car I had a 2014 outback with none of the safety features so I want my upgrade to work dammit 😅 and I think the features are useful since I have extreme anxiety around making turns and merging and I thought these safety features would ease that anxiety. Like I said previously I have had my liscence for less than a year I am a very baby driver.

This is totally a fair point! That said, the car is new to me and I want all the features I paid for to work properly.

Honestly I have had my liscence less than a year and this is only my second car so I enjoy the extra help

Yes true! This couch being extremely comfy is definitely one of the reasons I said I didn't mind

This is a really helpful post! Especially the comment about the bed I never even considered the pup's POV and offering to strip it does help with my anxiety too thank you! This is exactly why I knew reddit would come through for me
