Yes, it does have an X mode.

The 2022 came with summer performance tires not all season so not for winter driving, but I've got a set for the 2014 Forester now too. Previously had Michelin X-Ice and those were OK but nothing to write home about. Does the Solterra have X-Mode? That's like something Q would put on a Bond car.

I really missed the 4WD in the winter. Leafs would do OK but they torque steer like crazy when you accelerate. This new car has none of that and should be great in the snow like all Subarus are.

Both internal combustion engine though. I would say ICE but that has a different connotation now.

This is a one year old 2024. Used by their service department as a loaner. 5000 miles. 200 mile range. I like it much more than the Leaf. Acceleration is great. Much better lane tracking.

I'm assuming it's almost identical to a Toyota bZ? Did you get an EV tax credit? Those expired a month ago, didn't they? I guess like renewable energy, EVs are still desirable even without govt incentives now.

So now I am driving a demo unit that I bought from Subaru that had 5000 miles. Soltera. Loving it.
