Chrysler Sebring and Subaru Forrester

We've been driving these two cars for almost 15 years and both were very reliable. The Crosstrek is a brand new purchase, just two weeks ago.

2017 Crosstrek

Love the sporty look, the custom rims and the leather in my car! My only wish was to have leather AND a moon roof! But this girl is happy. Love the way it handles smoothly on the road and easy stopping with the side warning lights for unseen vehicles. I think my boyfriend has driven it more than i have lol.

Great New Car

We purchased our new Subaru Crosstrek in January from an outstanding sales person, Mike Lien, from Lithia Subaru of Reno. We ordered the car just the way we wanted and that;s the way it came, no hassles, no delays! I met many good people working there in many departments- sales, finance, service and the VP! We were treated respectfully and honestly! I would highly recommend this dealer!!

Not impressed... but it does have AWD!

Having this car for about a week, I am averaging between 20.8 and 21.3 mpg. Yes, I drive city streets instead of highways about 80% of the time, but this 21 mpg average is more than a little below the 25/33 in the specs. The seats are comfortable, especially for an economy crossover. The AWD handles better than expected in snow and usually finds traction with 1 or more tires on ice. The 2 front seat warmers are a nice touch as well as the window visibility when changing lanes (unless you have passengers). The exterior styling is extremely well thought out. Now, the power locks could be better designed (the key's buttons and the 5th door). The navigation and in-dash displays leave a definite yearning for more and are about 10-15 years behind that of Toyota's. Especially the disconnect and additional unnecessary dash buttons for the tripmeter, center in-dash display, and even the clock. The tripmeter and cruise control viewing can be easier to read if these were better designed. The interior design of the car is simple but the red stitching and certain plastics with contrasting colors are a good touch. The car has a 2-second delay or hitch after backing up until the CVT can engage. Overall, this vehicle can get the job done and has a good price, but the Crosstrek should not be recommended and Subaru can do better. Look at other makes and models if you're interested.

My new car

I have had my new Crosstrek one week and I already have over 100 miles on it. I'm still bonding but so far so good! Thank you to my salesman Jay Dunacusky for going over all of the details with me! No more burnt buns! Thank you to my finance guy Miguel Codner for making all things possible! I love you guys! I think I might have this car for awhile!

I Love This Car

It's sporty and reliable. It's great on gas and the handling is prestigious. It's a lot of fun driving and I feel safe. Bring on the snow, I can't wait! I bought this in white and it's so classic. The white has a pearl sheen to it. The Crosstrek also comes in fun colors too like bright blue, orange, and lime green for those looking for a little more flair. It's the perfect car when you are living in New England!
