My New Little "Lurch"

We've always owned Honda...for the majority of our marriage. The Subaru was a new purchase, we don't lease, now that we are done with totting kids around and don't need the Mother van. I've found most features disappointing or annoying on the 2016 Forester. The Accelerator pedal is so small, it makes my 5'2"frame tired after driving 45 minutes. The carpet is so cheap, the blonde hair in our family makes the black carpet look forever dirty. The "fuel release" lever is on the floor vs. the vertical floor board near the break pedal, so it's always dirty. I hate the "LURCH' in the accelerator. I hate the beeping of the seat belt warning @ 3 miles an hour, so you can't move your car from one spot in your garage to another with buckling up. I hate the change box, you can't plug in your phone with spilling the change. I hate there's no place for a woman's purse...and if you throw it onto the passengers seat, you have to "buckle it in" because 3-5 pounds sets off the alarm to buckle. I regret NOT BUYING a HONDA even though I got the Subaru because I did not want all the silly bells and whistles the CR-V offered.
