And, when I set my heater to Front Defrost, it not only turns on the wiper de-icers, but it also heats my side mirrors. Awesome!I believe most cars do that, the ones equipped (which are most cars).

I would rather have that a sunroof, or heated steering wheel. The windshield isn't heated - there's a small element only under the wiper (it's called a Windshield Wiper De-Icer). That is odd regarding the XT touring not having it. The 2.5 Touring also gets the roof rails, while the XT Touring doesn't. Other than those two items, they are identically-equipped.

Awesome!I believe most cars do that, the ones equipped (which are most cars).With the Forester it activates when the rear de-froster is turned on; also turns on the heated mirrors. And the temperature has to be at a certain point (+5 or something) for the windshield wiper de-icer to activate.
I think its actually no bars... mine XT Touring arrived with the rails, but no bars, which really isn't an issue - easy excuse to buy a set of Thule bars...

Another silly omission.I think its actually no bars... mine XT Touring arrived with the rails, but no bars, which really isn't an issue - easy excuse to buy a set of Thule bars...None come standard with the cross-rails. If your XT Touring has the roof rails, then great! ...but that's not what Subaru's website suggests.
