The natural and spacious 3D sound field allows for superb sound from any listening position – eliminating the sweet spot.  SRS WOW also shapes a maximized bass response using sculpted filters and driver physics to go beyond the low-frequency limitations of speakers, resulting in big bass without the need for a subwoofer. In addition, SRS WOW electronically elevates the sound image to an optimal ear level without physically moving the speakers from the base of the door panels and creates a phantom center speaker”  from www.srslabs.com

No factory Bluetooth is available on any model

All Subarus are all wheel drive and the wagon is still the most popular model, but Subaru is expanding and changing.
