Hello,

 

Son is thinking of getting a 2015 Outback, and we are all having a big debate

whether it is a good idea, or not, to get it with the Eyesight System.

 

Cost is probably not a factor, but just out of curiosity, how much extra will it be for the 2015 ?

 

Anyway, would be most appreciative for those of you that have a 2014 Outback or Forester with this system, what you overall impressions are of it ?

 

e.g., our biggest concern, does it "take over" too much of the Driver's function ?

 

Worth having ?

pros and cons, caveats, etc.

 

What you like about it, and DON'T like about it

 

Much thanks; appreciaste your time and help with this,

Bob

I haven't read the whole thing, but here is an 11 page thread on it: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/104-gen-4-2010-2014/46784-eyesight-reviews.html

 

I think you'll like it. Especially the adaptive cruise.

My mom recently got an Eyesight equipped Forester. I've driven it a bit with the system on and it has beeped at me, but never taken over. I've been close enough to other cars that I had to wonder if the system was on, but remember, it won't cut in until the last moment and when it does, it will be a full-force panic stop.
