I posted this same comment on the other thread, but it's worth noting here too.

Headline: Most Small SUVs Are Bad at Automatic Emergency Braking, IIHS Says

https://www.thedrive.com/news/most-small-suvs-are-bad-at-aut...

"The SUVs that participated in the test were the Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, Jeep Compass, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevy Equinox, and the Volkswagen Taos. Of those ten SUVs only one (!) received the IIHS' "Good" rating—the Subaru Forester. After that, only two were rated as "Acceptable," the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The Ford, Hyundai, and Jeep were rated "Marginal," while the rest were sent home with "Poor" ratings and their heads hanging low."

My wife has a 2022 Chevy Equinox. It has engaged the automatic breaking on me several times unnecessarily but mostly it likes to use the flashing red dash light most often. We have this street with a half circle that cars park on and as you traverse the half circle it sees those cars and starts blinking like mad afraid you are going to hit them. I fear future cars will be much worse. They might force you to self driving if they make it impossible to drive the car yourself.

Subaru has had its EyeSight collision avoidance system in production vehicles since 2010. That's a long time to refine things.

I’m not surprised about the Cx-5. Plenty to like about the vehicle, but the driver assist features are clearly an afterthought.

Oh I was quite surprised. I drive a Subaru Forester myself and thought it does quite well.

I remember original Foresters were based on sedan chassis so had pretty snappy handling for SUV but dunno about newer ones.

All newer Subaru models now share a modular platform - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Global_Platform - except for the BRZ which is on Toyota’s analog. But yeah originally Forester was based on the Impreza.
