Demetri, we both have the same car..today is the second day of driving, up to 31 miles. The dealer buying experience was typical, they pound for more money. I traded in my 2001 Outback(ok, I had a windfall of enough money to do so) plus 12.5K, figure to be just below MSRP.
Steering feels a bit heavier in the new Outback, not bad, just different from the 2001.
