    I have this exact car, currently work at a Mazda dealership so I'm in and out of a lot of Mazdas. The seats in the outback are far more comfortable than the ones in the CX-50. The Mazdas are definitely tuned to be more "sporty", but the Outback is quieter and far more comfy.

    You can absolutely get a turbo on the Onyx trim. It's on the website and I own one.

    People knock the infotainment screen of Subaru but as an Outback owner I have say line works really well and the way they integrate it into the dash looks so much better than those pop screens or tablet monstrosities on vehicles that cost a lot more.

      Agree. I am 6'3. Not super tall or anything..and I test drove a CX-50 and the front seat hardly went back at all. I was so cramped I didn't even bother driving it. Outback I have tons of leg room. So it was a no brainer for me.
