I was about to trade in my 16 RAV4 to a 19 Forester and found out:
The 2019 Subaru Forester and Outback will have engine auto start / stop option and you cannot permanently disable it. It will make a negative deal breaker.
You can temporary disable it until next start.
I hope the 2019 RAV4 will not come with auto start / stop.
Imagine you battery is about to die and you get stuck in cold winter in the busy intersection or in the middle of nowhere?
Maybe in Florida is not a big deal, but in Alaska in -40F, you don't want to turn off the engine.
Also I was told you cannot permanently disable EyeSight and there is a problem to enter car wash.
Never had entering car wash in my 16 RAV4
