Used Subaru Outback for Sale in Houston, TX

The Eyesight technology is a great idea that, like many things, is better in theory than application. In theory this technology should assist your car to stay within the lanes and "gently" guide the car back to the lanes should you accidentally veer out of your lane. In practicality, the lanes in my town are so thin that the car thinks we are veering out of them all the time to the point that at best the constant pinging alerts of the Eyesight system are annoying and at worst I get habituated to them and don't even really pay attention to the constant sounds so they are practically useless as an alert. Now, the part that actually steers the car gently back into the lane is still useful.

The only major malfunction I have had with the Outback is that every year (approximately) I have to replace the battery. I have read on forums where other owners have had this problem as well. The salesperson told me when I purchased the vehicle that some people are not fond of the continuous variable transmission. I have found that it makes a whirring sound but is otherwise not a problem.
