Steering feel is very good and braking is impressive. Inside, this smallest Subaru is quite comfortable. The bucket seats in front earned excellent ratings on our ten-hour drive. In the rear, space and comfort are not as good as in front and the narrow rear door openings make entry and exit harder for those of us with big feet. But once inside, there is enough room and reasonable comfort for passengers who are of average height.
Trunk space is good for the subcompact field.
There is a passthrough in the rear seat at the center armrest, but the seat itself does not fold. Neither is there a sunroof option. Both decisions contribute to body rigidity, which felt very good. About the only complaints that I could come up with are that the car does not idle smoothly and is a little noisy on the road. In fact, the tires roar over course pavement.
