interested why this may be a deal breaker for you. I have a 2022 Touring and I like the bigger screen in the '25/'26 model and the fact that they got rid of the "extra" screen on top.
Remember under trump will be added the Tarrif if the car it's made in Japan .
This is correct for the Forester and Solterra. Outback, Ascent, & some models of Crosstrek are made in Indiana. I would assume any hybrid or all-electric models yet to come will be made in Japan.
Personally (just my opinion, your mileage may vary
) I really like it. It recognized me as a registered driver and arranged the seat and mirrors (I saved my preferences). Sound system is really great (more like a concert hall than a car). I have an Android phone and I connected via Bluetooth only (while the phone was charging wirelessly on the pad), no problem whatsoever. I do have problems with damn Google Maps but that was way before the car (yes, installed/reinstalled, changed preference, the tech "support" is inexistent/incompetent/could not care less - the "joy" of dealing with a monopoly). Also keep in mind that my other car is 8 year old so I might be biased. Drive the car, both on surface streets AND ON THE FREEWAY (I can't emphasize this enough) and see for yourself. If the dealer would not let you do that (just get on a ramp, accelerate to see how that works, how the car feels at 60/70 mph) walk away and find a dealer who does. At freeway speeds the tire and road noise are really hushed and the sound system is crystal clear. One thing I don't like is that I can't find the setting to display the rpms, but it might be my fault.
