Very aesthethically pleasing interior and exterior

Overall, I feel that this car was designed with care. There is a simplicity and elegance to it. the room inside is just perfect and the ride is very smooth for an SUV.

Crosstrek puts the FUN in function...

I have owned my sunshine orange Crosstrek for 2 months now, and I am loving it. I have been able to take a long road trip with my daughter and easily fit all of our luggage and beach items in the back cargo space . I have also used it to haul bags of horse feed and pine shavings to a barn, and have been impressed at how much I can fit with the rear seat folded down. And while some have lamented the car's lack of horsepower, that has not been a concern of mine and I am very pleased with the trade-off in great fuel economy ( averaging 37 mpg on the highway, which is phenomenal for all-wheel drive.) I also love the sporty interior with the contrast stitching that matches my eye-catching orange exterior. This is my first Subaru, but I'm sure it won't be my last!

Great Car that Stands Out

I absolutely love my New Crosstrek, it's absolutely perfect. Gets great gas mileage, lots of room inside, plus has a sporty look to it. Its able to tow and haul which comes in handy

Benchmark for a small car

Rides like a much more expensive vehicle. Also very quiet with excellent handling. After having purchased numerous new vehicles in my life, I believe, this Crosstrek is the most value I have ever received in a new auto.

I'm pleased with my first official car

This car has fulfilled my basic car needs and then some. I'm very please with its safety features as well as its basic look. Is a reliable 4x4 and fuel efficient. I'm really enjoying!

2018 Subaru Crosstrek

Subaru Crosstrek purchased through Costco Auto Program. Crosstrek has many safety features, plenty of interior space for people and gear and is very comfortable to sit in and drive. It handles like a much larger vehicle. With All Wheel Drive, roof rails and receiver hitch, the Crosstrek can be used in a variety of ways. Very positive buying and driving experience.

Dependable

This is the second Subaru I own. I ran the first one to the ground. I will continue to buy Subaru's because they are reliable.
