The 2019 Subaru Impreza with EyeSight is generally well-regarded for its safety features and driver-assistance technologies, though some users find the lane keep assist to be overly sensitive at times. The EyeSight system includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist. It's noted for its smooth and predictable adaptive cruise control, which can make long drives more comfortable. The system also provides features like blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. While the lane keep assist can be overly sensitive on roads with worn-out lane markings, it overall enhances safety and driver confidence.
