Subaru crosstrek

Crosstrek is plenty room inside and it?s lighter drive! I love it! I am not regretting about my car. Previously, I had a Honda Civic LX sporty car. I hate it because it?s small car and no room for legrooms! I got Subaru Crosstrek and I fell in love with that because it is everything what I needed!

This car does great in every situation!

I bought this car when I returned from living overseas. I bought it in Michigan and drove it there for almost 2 weeks while settling affairs before I moved to California. It did great in the cold Michigan spring and all the weather that Michigan could come up with. I loaded the back with all my stuff and drove it from Michigan to California, it made even the long haul days more bearable. The fuel efficiency and its mobility up and down the mountains and through all the traffic made it beyond worth it. Now I just use it for commuting to and from work, and even that is fun with this car. I?d buy it again in a heartbeat.

My 4th Subaru

I traded my WRX in on a 2018 Crosstrek. By far the best move I have done this year. It is so much more comfortable than the WRX and I am getting over 30 mpg. The Blue tooth works great and the sound for a standard stereo is pretty good. Overall the car is everything I want and need!

Best Bang For Buck Daily Driver

This is a fantastic car, Subaru knocked it out of the park! I went with the 6 speed M/T instead of the CVT and I am very happy with that decision. This car isn't going to blow you away with performance or luxury but it is - in my humble opinion - the best affordable daily driver money can buy. Best features include: AWD, hatchback, reliability, fun to drive, safe, good mpg, and a reasonable amount of features. I would highly recommend this car to anyone considering cars like it. Subarus do not disappoint.

Love this car!

Previously owned a 2016. Not impressed with interior comfort. Was not going to buy a 2018 unless that changed. It has! And for the better. Fits like a glove. Knew the minute I sat in it that I would end up buying it. I did!

Donwsize Success

I have had four Subarus, the last one a Forrester. I wanted to size down but liked the higher curb height. The Crosstrek fits my needs perfectly.

The Perfect Car For Me

I absolutely love this car. It is perfect for me. The Apple Play feature is incredible for connecting your iphone to the car. It can link to spotify, MLB At Bat and many other things including messages. I also have a dog and I take her to the park a lot, so having a car with back seats that fold forward was important to me. I'm able to fold the seats and fit her in there very comfortably. I have no complaints and am excited to have this car for a long time!

Most comfortable/reliable/affordable/safe car!

I am a "truck person" and never imagined I would own a car but I am absolutely in love with the Subaru Crosstrek! The safety features are incredible! When I drive it I feel like I am in a truck because it is higher off the ground than other cars. The car runs well, accelerates quickly, brakes smoothly and is totally cool and sleek. The exterior resembles a luxury brand and the inside is incredibly well laid out. I love the Adaptive Cruise Control and the Subaru EyeSight technology puts me at ease while driving with my daughter. We are loving being part of the Subaru family!

My new favorite car!

I love the sporty feel paired with the safety features of being a Subaru! It is the perfect size for commuting to the city and taking over the mountain pass.
