2018 Subaru Crosstrek consumer reviews

First Subaru I have ever owned, and I will probably not go back to Chevy after this car. 2018 Crosstrek Limited with all the bells and whistle except the upgrade in Sound System. Pros 1. This car can plow through snow with the tires from purchase (no snow tires in Wisconsin we know how to drive)! I took it through drifts as high as the hood (slowest 30 mph, fastest 55 mph) I do not recommend going 55 mph through drifts, the back end will slide side ways but the car recovers nicely with counter steering. 2. High off the ground so you don't feel like your getting up off the ground. Drive thru's you can see right in the windows at the bank now. 3. Mileage after 6 weeks and 2000 mile is 31.9 ( I drive consistently 10 mph over the speed limit. 4. Handles like its on rails! 5. Safety features are AMAZING, this is why I bought it after the test drive. The engine is set at a slant so if your involved in a head on collision the engine goes into the pavement not your lap. I prefer to walk away from an accident and this is why Subaru logo is "They lived". 6. Paddle shifters are SWEET. They take the wear off the brakes, if you know how to shift correctly and the car automatically will take over if you forget to shift. Cons 1. Cabin is loud with a cross wind and the radio turned down. 2. Everything is different from American cars but easy to adapt. 3. It has fairly good passing abilities at highway speeds, but in city is drags if your trying to beat a light.

I?m really Loving my New 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. I love how sturdy it is. I?ve been very surprised with how much room it has and Great Gas Mileage!! I got what is considered the ?Base Model?, but it has all kinds of Great features that I wouldn?t have expected in a base model. Overall I?m Extremely Happy!!

Overall a great, practical, and capable vehicle. My only complaints is that the premium trim seems to be lacking some minor features that I think should be standard in all vehicles (compass, tire pressure monitoring on the dash's screen, etc.) and that the paint chips easily. Only 1000 miles in, I already have 2 paint chips after moderate highway and country road driving. I don't tailgate. Anyway, gas mileage is good, handling is good, and the car is a pleasure to drive. Love driving it.

Car has exceeded all of my expectations. So much so that I have purchased a second one. Can not recommend this car highly enough. It?s comfortable and has just the right amount of storage space.

Gas mileage, snappy. ready for any driving condition . Very well designed for convenience. Great safety ratings. Basically this car is exactly as it is reviewed in Consumer Reports and all other publications.

...I have always loved the Crosstrek and waited for the right time. I look forward to trading it up someday. I believe it will be very reliable for us, especially in the snow!

Nice style, comfortable, safe, fuel efficient and of course dependable all wheel drive. Why new England drivers even consider purchasing 2 wheel drive vehicles will never make sense to me.

I think the Subaru Crosstrek is a perfect size vehicle. Not too big and not too small. I love the way it drives and the handling is great.

I would recommend it to all my friends. I had no problem driving on ice this past winter, with the all wheel drive. It is a great car, even in the Atlanta traffic, it never over heated.

I owned a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek and loved everything about it, style, dependability, gas mileage...when the re-styled 2018 Crosstrek came out I started thinking about upgrading. I have a fully loaded 2018 Crosstrek now and the way the seats hug, the engine power, sleekness, smooth, quiet ride...I love it.
