I can see why people love their Subarus

I have been driving this car a couple weeks now and keep finding more reasons to love it. I’ve never owned or driven a Subaru before and I now see why people go so Gaga over these cars. First off, they pack a lot of quality into a small price. From an options perspective, it doesn’t have the latest doo dads i will never use. It’s not like driving a big, junky smartphone. It has just the right amount of well thought out and engineered tech without being overly complicated and glitchy. The paint finish is flawless and it also included winter (rubber) and summer (cloth) floor mats. The interior is well designed, sophisticated without being trendy. It has a conventional key, which I love. No more being stranded an hour away from home looking for a keyfob battery. It also has a CD player and I have a lot of cds so I don’t have to waste all my data if I wanna jam out. Mechanically it’s a very smooth ride, not jerky and the cvt is nice! I’ve owned a couple jeeps, a Chevy Cruze, a minivan, a Silverado and this car blows everything I’ve ever owned out of the water. I would and already have recommended this car to family, friends and coworkers. Can’t sat enough good things about this car.

Another Subaru for me

This car happens to be my 7th Subaru. It has the sports package and it’s a grey blue. It handles smoothly and can’t feel many bumps that are all over NYC and Upstate. It’s very insulated so outside noise isn’t a problem either. Side view mirrors are large so visibility is quite good. Gages easily seen through steering wheel and are not hidden. I can hardly hear the engine. Overall fabulous car.

Looking Forward To More

Just bought it, but it is exactly what I had hoped for. The 'reliability' rating is a guess based on brand history. I've only had it for 2 days - no problems yet. ;) I knocked off a point for interior design - the cup holds seem to be placed a bit far back for me and I'd like another small storage compartment or two up front for change, charging cables, insurance cards, etc. Primary use if commuting, but I can't wait to use it for "having fun".

I absolutely love it

I feel incredibly safe and in control with the 2019 Crosstrek. The Crosstrek rides beautifully. I have received many compliments on this new car. I did own a 2016 Crosstrek and this model drives much nicer.

All purpose car

The Cross Trek is reliable, capable and practical - and looks good too. Great for local travel, safe in rain, snow and off road, and comfy on long trips.

Needs more power

Why would you spend 30k on a car that has no power? What a disapointment, sales guy tried to steer me to an overpriced Outback with a V6. What are all of the suburu hype about, I don't know, I have a great car that handles well in snow and has power. Until Suburu adds a few more horses to their lineup, I would not go back, again? why would I pay 30K or more, outback is 40K for a stationwagon that has no acceleration?

New owner

I fell in love with this car after my first test drive. The shifting was seamless. The handling super responsive. Previous (very happy) Toyota Tacoma owner, but had to have this car:-)

I love love my car

Wonderful driving experience. I just know this particular dealer in Nampa at Team Mazda sold the car to me overpriced. And they kept wanting to get more $$ out of me. Would not recommend this dealership

After 4,300 miles (2 months)

Good gas mileage (35 mpg). I've taken 1 long trip (2,500 miles) and two shorter ones (500 each). It handles mountains well. Mileage goes down when driving over 70 mph. I like the adaptive cruise control and lane assist.

Love my new Crosstrek!!

What an upgrade in safety, technology, and comfort. This thing rocks on the highway and even when I want to go off road! Great ride, great mileage, and an awesome experience at the dealership! I highly recommend the "EyeSight" system. A huge Safety Benefit!
