I thought it was quite a smart design and made me think I could live with one of those.

My wife had an Auris estate 2015 - 2018 which was the 134PS hybrid earlier version of this setup. Drivetrain was good, dashboard in front of the passenger was painted silver and reflected sunlight badly, plastics lower down, under the dash, were made from old margarine tubs. The cover under the glovebox fell off after about 6 weeks, the dealer made attempts to fix at each service without much success, it would fall off every three to four months.

I always fancied a Subaru, I thought they were well engineered, though rust could be an issue in some models. There's a service center near where I live. Don't see many on the roads these days, the emissions based road tax for the power available really hurts them.
