I sincerely hate the whole finance part of dealing with dealerships. Why do I need to talk to some person if I just want to hand over a check and leave? Why can't the sales people do the transaction just like they do in any other business?
Rivian and Tesla did awesome where there was no finance person and everything was done online at my leisure. BMW did an awesome job where it was just a zoom call appointment I did at home and they e-signed all the docs and submitted payment before I even showed up to pick up the car. No waiting around for some asshat to try and sell me a warranty.

Audi did this non sense to me and pulled my credit after I told them I did not want my credit pulled or financing. The bank called to ask me about my "loan" while I was at the dealer, I walked into the finance office and asked why he pulled my credit to which he said, he did not. I then put the bank on speaker phone, had her confirm the dealer that pulled my credit, she confirmed it was them and he told me to hang up, I lost my mind on them.
It was Covid though so while I grabbed my old keys to leave, we both knew there weren't a lot of cars out there, they knocked some off and I walked out knowing I would never buy from them again.
Deal is done. 4 hrs at the dealer, they were slammed and understaffed in finance.
2018 Subaru Legacy Limited
One owner, their 8th Subaru, bought and maintained at the dealer where I bought it.
Pretty immaculate 8yr old car, a tiny door ding on the RR door, and a small crack in the plastic of the RS mirror. Interior looks perfect.
Had planned to go look at a 20 Sport, but it sold the night before.
Still getting used to it.
So far, I'd say the Eyesight is far better than most stop/go radar cruise control systems I've driven. Doesn't abruptly brake & seems to coast, or use the CVT for small corrections.
Definitely comfortable for a commuter. Only 'complaint' is that the windowsill is really far from the wheel, so you can't easily rest your elbow there & keep a hand on the wheel.
