    That’s one of my 3 complaints about my wife’s 2018 Subaru:

    1. It takes over a full second to shift into drive.
    2. The clock shows you the date but not the time when you start the car. You know, the one time I literally always look for the clock to see if I left on time? Yeah. No clock. (Seriously, what the what? Why?)
    3. You can’t turn off the radio when the car is starting. (For a while I thought it was while reversing, but I think that’s just because it’s the first thing I do every time I turn in the car after my radio-listening wife has parked.)

    Other than those three problems, it’s a great car.

    It has physical buttons in the steering wheel for most functions, so this article isn’t very relevant. Sure, you can’t adjust your front-back speaker volume while driving, but you shouldn’t be doing anything that involved while driving anyway.

      Absolutely. Overall the Subarus are the best designed car I’ve seen - I would change those few things, but it’s a small list and they are very minor.:-)
