Wait for the 2018 Unibody model

The car is a dinosaur, slow and steady in need of the 2018 evolution model!!! Interior is as basic as one can get. Consumer Reports should really reevaluate their recommendation of the low end model. Wait for the next model year. Check it out on the highway before you buy. And remember this is NOT an IIHS top safety pick without "eyesight". Safety is important and Subaru is not keeping up. Buy a Toyota with their INCLUDED safety measures.

Safe & Reliable

The Subaru Crosstrek is a fun SUV to drive, reliable, and safe vehicle on the road. I purchased the Subaru Crosstrek for business travel, drive approximate 94 to 160 miles per day, it gets great gas mileage, handles extremely well and feels very safe on the road. I highly recommend the Subaru Crosstrek !

Crosstrek

I'm very pleased with my new car. I was surprised to find out that the engine is the same engine (4cyl) as the outback's 4cyl engine. It's very "zippy". I owed an outback before and downsized. Still getting used to the "smaller" size and also less compartment space, but all in all I'm very very pleased.

perfect car for most!

This brand has such a great history - try to find a Subaru owner who is not satisfied with the value they offer.

Doug Herrick - Hyper Blue 2017 Crosstrek

The clutch in my old Mazda was busted for the last 4 months before I got my crosstrek, so I may be a little overzealous in this review. I love the crosstrek. It shifts like butter, the AWD works superbly (I'm glued to the road), the MPG rating is amazing, and it looks amazing to top it off.

Great sporty vehicle

After researching tbe news cars under 30 thousand, we found the Crosstrek to be the winner! The interior is super in leather with the stiching. It handles great in the rain. No blindspots for us. The ride is smooth, not rough or bumpy. The back seats are a snap to fold down for our 2 dogs. It also is easy access in and out of the seats. Sunroof is peefwct size. Mileage is awesome! We made the right choice with our 2017 Crosstrek Limited.

Subaru is a great all around vehicle

This is my sixth Subaru and I have never been disappointed. I have lived in the high Sierras for the past 30 years and feel this is the best all around vehicle for safety and handling in all weather conditions.

I am very pleased with my new crosstrek. I am pleased with how everything was handled from beginning to end. The sales guy Sean did great with everything that I was needing.
