2018 seems to be roughly the dividing line. There are very winding roads up here and the loaner lane warning was going off all the time. I have stick-on wide angle mirrors instead of the proximity warning --- the one accessory besides fog lights that I miss. I think they wanted $500 for fog lights, and TBH, I looked at the stalk and it's way too complicated. I never really figured out the rear window wiper activator.
Voice control? Only if passengers can't be heard and misunderstood. Unless it's "Subie, get me a beer ".... wait, this is an auto. Cancel that. Get me a tea with lemonade!
The newer model had WAY better entertainment system. Mainly they cut the glare. As it is, the glare is horrible on the 2018. I took the cowl out of the speedometer well. I couldn't see anything there with all the glare.
Simple optics. You'd think that the Japanese would have been on top of this sooner.
