    Outside of not offering the XT with a manual transmission, their other mistake was limiting it to a stripped down, no options Premium trim and a decked out Touring trim; They should have at least given the XT Premium the option of Eyesight H/K Sound and it probably would have sold.

    um... I'm late to the game on this, I know, but I'm looking at purchasing a used 2018 limited. Isn't the limited the one with the leather boot around the shifter (CVT) and the touring is the plain plastic? In other words, I think you mixed up the touring vs Limited on the 2.5i. I may be wrong but all other research I have done leads me to believe the latter.

    Girlsloveforcars I thought the same thing- But ended up picking up the 2018 XT touring. I test drove a 2019 Touring ... gutless and then drove the 2018 XT touring - I was shocked. So, yeah I took the 18 XT... really like it for a smaller SUV type vehicle. It’s my daily driver + snowboard rig.

    The XT is a 2.0 liter. Not larger than the 2.5 liter. XT is turbo charged, providing more HP and torque.

    Problem 1: required sunroof except base. Problem 2: CVT required for options. Problem 3: CVT . I guess the base model is the only one worth having.

    I have the 2.5i premium and I love it. If you commute or take road trips, the starlink system is awesome. I was so disappointed when Ford discontinued Sync services. It is what drove me away to Subaru.

    Yes, but to make it worse, is that I hear different things--that they have TWO, then I hear they have only one, so I end up not knowing what they have, and don't have. I really expect some straight talk from the company.

    No, waiting for complete and accurate information from Subaru. But most likely will--we start shopping very early in the game, learn all we can, then go forward with what we know to be true information. Right now, I feel only bewilderment--only one engine, or only two engines, etc./all. And EIGHT different iterations--come on, not really interested in learning that much, they should make it easy for me, I am the buyer

    Yeah, I agree. Not sure why they made so many trim packages. Earlier lines had the base package, Limited and Sport. I own a 2006 Subaru Forester XT converted to a FSTI, my dream Subie. My friend just bought a 2017 FXT, I'm excited to test drive it and see how it stacks up against mine for ride, comfort and performance since it is a 2.0 L turbo that weighs 500 lbs more vs my 2.5 L. It's a shame Subaru is dropping the XT line but I guess they figure people buying Foresters only care about MPG and not performance which is a shame.

Hey, to each his own and I sure won't go to a dealer and find an "expert" to A, confuse me even more and B, LIE, as many do, telling me this or that of EIGHT models do NOT have this or that, when they do.
