I love this car!

The interior and exterior are beautiful. My only complaint so far is the limitations within Apple CarPlay. Sometimes once the phone is plugged in it takes a few seconds to actually show up on the car screen and start up. Not sure if this is a Subaru or Apple issue but the lag is a bit irritating. I'm able to look past this though, everything about the car is wonderful.

Great Handling

Overall this is a very good AWD car. The one thing they really need to address is the hatchback handle. With being short it is hard to reach the handle to close the hatchback. It needs a strap to hang down so it is easier to close. Also they should have standard CD player and XM radio.

Perfect car for an adventuring family.

The Crosstrek is a great car, it looks amazing, it handles perfectly, it?s great for light off-roading. If you?re the type of person who likes to go on adventures off the beaten path, then you?d be making the right decision going for the crosstrek. The only con I see in this car is the power in the engine. It?s oretty slow to pick up speed. Not that I?m a racing with mine but when I could have used to the extra speed it wasn?t there. Other than that, it?s been a great car to drive.

Love my car

Getting tons of compliments on the looks of my car. I love the way it drives and handles. It?s awesome on gas mileage. The seats are very comfortable even for larger and taller people. There is a lot of room in the back I carry a bike with the front wheel removed plus more.

Sleek SUV with a proven track record.

The 2018 Crosstrek with the Limited trim package is an excellent vehicle in it's class. It includes an excellent info/technology package and has a very sleek interior and exterior design. It embraces Subaru's history of providing a safe and excellent driving machine. If you are looking for a midsize, highly reliable vehicle that has great technology including Smart Cruise, emergency braking, Apple CarPlay, respectable gas mileage, etc. this car is for you!

I love this car

This car came loaded with options. It is the 50th Anniversary Edition. I wanted this particular model because the stitching on the leather seats is silver rather than orange and because it came with all the options already it was a better value than adding on to a lesser model. It is very comfortable and has all the room I need. It is higher than a car to handle deeper snow and if it is like my previous Subaru Impreza will be great in the snow. Subarus are very sure footed on the road; much better than front wheel drive and still good on gas. I just purchased this car in May and so far no problems. I expect it will be reliable.

Best car I have ever owned

It has the smoothest drive of any car I have ever owned. You can barely feel it shifting gears (sometimes you can't). It gets fantastic gas mileage! Anyone who has ridden it comments on how comfortable it is. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Dream Car!

This car is the best car I have owned, and I have personally had 9 cars over the years. I feel very safe in this car with the EyeSight System.
