Fun to Drive, super safe

I love this car! I?ve put about 1500 miles on it so far and have been pretty impressed. The safety features, looks, and handling have made me sure that I picked the right one. It?s not the fastest car in the world but I didn?t buy it for that reason. It handles well, the lane assist, fuel economy and automatic cruise control make it a great choice for road trips or getting around the city. Also, the safety features lowered my insurance premiums and that is a definite plus!

Excellent vehicle in line with the Subaru traditio

I had a Subaru Forester which I dearly loved, but wanted something new (like getting a new dress). I think this car is superb, all the new bells and whistles safety features will enable me to drive more carefully

LOVE IT

I originally thought this vehicle would be too big for me since all of my other cars were sportier but this is a perfect fit

2018 Subaru Crosstrek 50th Anniversary Edition

Confident driving, 35+ MPG in mixed driving exceeds EPA estimates, quiet and spacious cabin, stunning dashboard information and intuitive controls, phenomenal safety and advanced driving features, responsive touchscreen head unit, and abundance of storage space even with the back seats up. Only minor complaints thus far: (1) cannot shut off radio...apparently it's a "feature" and (2) lack of lumbar support in the seats.

My first Subaru

I bought the Subaru Crosstrek about a month ago. This car fits all my needs: It looks sporty, is the perfect size, has all the latest safety features and handles great on the road. This is my first Subaru and so far I can truly say, I love it.

3rd Subaru. Love the dependabiliy

I drive Subaru because of the winters in central New York. Snow, freezing rain, slush and rain have never stopped me from being able to get to work. 4 wheel drive all the way around. I drive past stranded vehicles and never got stuck in the snow. I?m an RN and need to be on the job no matter what. This crosstrek is the best model for me so far. Warms up fast plus heated seats. Back seat goes down for my golden doodle. Backup camera and side mirror car detectors are awesome. Love the comfort as an added perk!! Love love this car..

Handles like a sports car

After driving a 2002 Ultima, the Crossfire drives like a dream, smooth, handles the road well and control is within hands reach...love it. And I have owned it for only 48 hours!!!

Perfect Subaru

The new Crosstrek is a perfect subaru. It is smaller than the outback, but it sits higher than the Impreza! It has all the safety features you could want, plus LED headlights, Apple Car Play, and a nice sporty feel. It's only a 4 cyl, so it's not super speedy, but you get great gas mileage!
