Got a '24 outback late last year. For the most part I love it-it's comfortable, holds my giant dogs and it's way better to drive in bad weather than my previous car.
I'd read reports on subaru forums that infotainment was bad, so my expectations were low. But even basic stuff isn't functional. It has gotten less responsive over the months (reminder: we've had it just barely a year). The screen has several seconds of lag with every touch, and sometimes controls just don't work at all. I don't like that we have to use it for temperature control, and android auto integration is clunky (though that may not be Subaru's fault).
Add that to the horrifying data collection practices and it makes me question ever getting a Subaru again.
Is it possible to get some kind of firmware update that you may not have received?

This Reddit thread makes it sound like you need to manually do it or the dealer will do it as part of the regular maintenance. Not sure if this is specific to that model year.

And
The people there are also complaining about the touchscreen instead of physical controls.
Hey good catch! I'll try to ring my dealership to see if I can get that checked out during my next oil change visit.
Thanks
