Responsive and easy to drive

Between the adaptive cruise control, the auto lane following, and the all wheel drive, this is the easiest and most comfortable car I have ever driven. Nimble and responsive, the boxer engine delivers enough power to use the road without trying to own it. Carrying and towing capacity are in keeping with its size.

Extremely realiable, efficient and great design!

While the Subaru Crosstrek still holds some of the original "grassroots" feel from the 1970s, and is excellent for touring through the Rockies here in Colorado, I also has incorporated some cutting edge features that even high-end luxury cars do not include. iSight and the safety features are necessary with all the crazy drivers out there today, and they have not skimped on anything, including some of the most impressive all weather tires on the market. Safe and comfy is how we feel driving this car, and it's a lot of fun as well.

2019 Crosstrek

The 2019 Crosstrek has everything I need in a car. Love the Venetian Red Pearl color, gas mileage and comfort with all the safety features.

Under Powered Cute and Well Finished Car

Great Daily Driver, build quality better than its competitors, I passed on the Rav4 for it, interior finish and quality is excellent on the fully loaded with leather one, all the tech work seamlessly. The eyesight is a +. My big complain is the car can use more power as it doesn't have pick up and passing could be painful. I don't know if it's the CVT but definitely under powered. Fuel economy could be better. The only 4 point electric seat makes it hard to fine a comfortable position on a long drive and little more padding too on the seats will be a +. For reliability too soon to tell but Subaru has a solid reputation so we will see.

So far it has been excellent

This car is all we need. The size is perfect for us and we feel safe and it rides very smoothly. The safety features and gadgets make us feel as we were in a more luxury car.

I absolutely love this car!!

Great car!! Unfortunate choice of dealer to purchase it from this dealership. I will absolutely buy Subarus again, just not at this dealership. Too bad for them, because we’re currently shopping for a new, fully loaded Forester.

Getting to know my car

Just purchased this car a short time ago. Tooke me almost 4 months to find it and had to compromise power seat for no leather. Dealer did not have cloth seat with power. So yesterday was our first warm day and I discover that even though there is a choice on the knob to just have the A/C come out of the vents on the dash when you use it it still blows cold air on your feet. called dealer today and was told Subaru eliminated that feature in 2019 that now there is no choice to not have the cold air blow on your feet. Suppose It will be great when winter comes but am I supposed to wear socks when I drive all summer if I want to use A/C. What a positively dumb thing to do to a customer in such a highly related nice car. Service said sorry it comes that way for all 2019. Can't fix it. and of course the sales person did not tell me about it. If you have the choice and it is still on the knob you assume you have the feature. Dumb for such highly rated car. Would only recommend car now by telling potential buyer about having cold feet,

Brand new - no experience yet

Reputation for safety features and value brought us to Subaru. (No prior Subaru ownership.) This car is the perfect size we need. Not too large, but has all the SUV features. Bought the Limited model which is fully loaded with all possible safety features.

Crosstrek exceeds expectations

Crosstrek is a well designed vehicle. The exterior is very sharp looking. The glass permits excellent vision. The interior is very nice. Seats are comfortable even for a 6'3" individual. The color scheme is excellent. The dashboard viewscreen is within easy reach even when the front seats are backwards at the extreme. The interface to riders' cell phones is easily setup and easily switchable between two phones. The information provided is easily readable. The doors open wide for easy entry and exit .
