THE FINEST AUTO REGARDLESS OF PRICE.

THIS IS A GREAT CAR. IT IS MY SECOND SUBARU. I HAVE OWNED AUTOS AT A MUCH HIGHER PRICE POINT THAT DO NOT COME CLOSE TO THIS CAR. MY INSURANCE COST EVEN WENT DOWN AS A RESULT OF THE SAFETY FEATURES. I WILL NOT TRADE THIS CAR--MINE!!!!!!!

Small SUV handles like a car.

I wanted a 4 wheel drive crossover with the highest ground clearance and good mileage. When I test drove this car it felt so good like it was built around me. Not at all like other SUVs that were more truck like. I got it 1 year old in perfect condition and got a great deal. Love my Crosstrek!

The 2018 Crosstrek is awesome

In 2014 my wife purchase a Subaru Impreza after I did research for good reliable vehicle. So when it came time to stop riding my Harley I wanted a good reliable transportation so I checked out many SUV makes and the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek was the one for me. My wife and I love this vehicle for the ride, comfort, and the mileage. As for the milage around town I average 30 mpg and on the highway 34 mpg. In August 2019 I took a trip to the mountains of WV and when I checked my milage I got over 36 mpg. I even recorded my reading to the local dealer and they said they never heard of someone getting that high of milage with a Crosstrek. It's all up to the driver. So for me Subaru is a good vehicle and the Crosstrek is awesome.

Expect it will be very good in snow.

I bought it because of Subaru's vaunted reliability in snow with AWD. Also really like the Eyesight sensors. Great safety feature. Car feels very solid and comfortable. I feel safe in the car. Very smooth handling and braking. Only owned it for 10 days but so far, so good.

This is a great "in-town/city" car

We got a new 18 Crosstrek before we started to travel for work.... since we have driving ALL over the US and have put the car to the test. It's not large enough to "live" out of or travel for long periods of time. It also doesn't have a lot of room for luggage and additional passengers. However the biggest issue is the power of the vehicle. It doesn't have the get up and go needed to climb elevations with any additional weight in the vehicle... Overall would definitely recommend this to a stable life person but not someone who goes and goes.

Reliable and fun to drive

Plenty of room for kids and groceries. Handles well in different types of weather, and on different roads. The eyesight and lane assist are amazing and this car is a pleasure to drive.

Crosstrek looks great and drives great

The car was very satisfying to drive. Very responsive and a good feel when driving. The exterior of the Crosstrek looks very adventurous and can support an active lifestyle.

A quality vehicle from a quality dealer.

Our Crosstrek drives like a brand new vehicle - which it basically is (16,000 miles on the odometer). Subaru makes some of the best vehicles on the road. The repairs that MegaAuto performed are not noticeable - this was a salvage title that passed third party inspection and drives like a dream. We lucked out^^

Subaru cars are the best. Especially the Crosstrek

This car is almost perfect. Great room, lots of storage room and room for passengers. Has the ground clearance of the bigger Subarus, yet maintains the smaller/sporty stature. The AWD makes you feel invincible. Only down side is the power. Not as peppy from the start as I'd like, but it gets going pretty good and once up to speed it's not a problem.

Love this car!

This car is very comfortable, especially on long trips. I like the height because it is so much easier getting in and out and yet it is comfortable to handle. Also it feels very solid and safe to drive.
