Worth it

Love this car! It?s a little small inside for me though. The stock wheels where the ugliest things I had ever seen in my life. Great otherwise.

Most reliable car I've ever driven

This car has been the best investment I've ever made. It's super comfortable and has plenty of space for a tall guy like me. I've had it for 2 months now, and unfortunately have put 6000 miles on it already. Even though I'm working her really hard, she just keeps going, and gets 35 mpg at this time. With spending so much time in the car, I'm so glad it has a comfortable ride.

Subaru Crosstrek

Seems like a good, safe car. Consumer Reports recommended it and I can see why. Lots of great safety features and some nice bells and whistles for a fair price.

This is a safety-conscious car

This car has every safety feature you can ask for. Although it?s a small car, it drives and rides nicely. However, the small engine does seem to demonstrate a lag when going up steeper hills and mountains.

Subaru Crosstrek Limited

Test drove the Subaru Crosstrek Limited, it feels like a luxury vehicle. The ride is very comfortable, handles rough roads well. Love all the safety features--a bonus for insurance purposes.

beats the competition

The similarly priced competion comes nowhere near the CrossTrek in features and quality. Adding just AWD on similar cars, which is standard on the CrossTrek puts them over the price mark.

Best car I?ve ever owned

I?ve owned a wide variety of cars and this car is by far my favorite. The way the steering is so responsive is my favorite perk of the car. There is so much more room inside than it looks from the outside, the perks of a crossover but the space of an SUV. All week drive and high ground clearence makes this car more reliable than ever for the New England weather. The apple car play feature was an awesome bonus to the car (also has android car play). The interior look to the car is very slick.

Best car I?ve owned

This car is the best daily driver car you can get for a reliable AWD with good mpg and amazing snow and off-road capabilities. If you are looking for the perfect size car that isn?t too big and isn?t too small, this is it. Has the ground clearance of an suv but has the handling of a sedan.

Not your daddy?s Subaru

Do let the size fool you. This car has more room than you think. Style and performance are great and gas mileage average is 28. Smoothest ride for car suv this size. Railroad tracks? Never feel them.

Suburu Crosstrek :-)

I've wanted a Suburu Crosstrek since their inception in 2013. I just purchased a 2018 Crosstrek and it so far has exceeded my expectations. I researched most vehicles in this class and the Crosstrek was my choice.
