Subaru Solterra (2024-2026)

I Hired this fairly New Car of 8,000kms today as my own car was getting serviced. It has Heaps of Power and a Great turning circle but that is the end of anything positive I have to say about this poor excuse for a Car. The first thing when you get in you notice how cramped up and blocked in you are. It's like being locked in a small capsule with… Read more

no access to the other passengers. The driver seat has a mind of it's own and wont stay in the one position automatically moving in and out each time to turn the car on.The computer is constantly mumbling non coherent messages and the internal Mirror is like on an LSD trip giving double vision with the camera overlay over the actual mirror making it impossible to see anything clearly. The air-conditioning is nonexistent and with all the glass you toast up quickly even on a cold day. The driver assist will fight the steering wheel out of your hand when you want to change lanes like it has its own destination in mind and the speed zones showing up in the display are just wrong if you bother to read the actual signs on the road that is. My passenger could not raise her seat high enough to see over the bonnet. My advice to Subaru is, seriously, go back to the drawing board, and to potential buyers , Buyer Beware.

Subaru Solterra driving experience – I have driven the Subaru Solterra for several months now and I’m very impressed how easy it is to drive, I’m 82 years of age and on long drives the lane assist and adaptive cruise control takes all the stress of driving out off the equation.

I haven’t tried it off road but if this vehicle performs similarly to the two previous Subaru Foresters that I’ve driven. This vehicle is used weekly around the suburbs with the occasionally weekend trip, but have only clocked up about 4000km, and the first service is not until March 2025. My son has driven this vehicle and he was also impressed how easy it is to drive, I only have one fault is that there is not rear windscreen wiper, yes it does have a rear view camera but it is more reassurring it used the rear view mirror directly. Other than this, this vehicle is a dream to drive and I have not any stage was distance or electric charge been a consideration. This Subaru Solterra has lived up to the expectations of the Subaru brand as this is the third Subaru I’ve driven.j
