Used Subaru Crosstrek for sale in Carlsbad, CA

I didn't buy from this dealership (it is over 300 miles away from home) but my interactions were very friendly, without pressure and very professional. They also sell Hyundai cars that are hard to find without a markup unlike nearly all Hyundai dealers I found. If you are in SoCal and looking for a Hyundai I would start here.

I love this car - and I've had LOTS of cars. I only have 2 issues with it - #1 - the remote start is only available thru an app on my phone - why not have just a remote key fob?? #2 - it makes an odd noise especially when it rains; when turning - I'll be taking it in for 12K mile service soon - hopefully we can get that figured out. Other than that, I love the way it handles, the comfort and the gas mileage.

Mike went above and beyond to help me understand the process and to help me love my car more than I already do! Thanks Mike

Easy to get in and out. Car was expensive, the dealer instruction was valuable, but still learning and still referring to the books. Still waiting for the state paper work, will have to get a Pa inspection.

Clark, Eddie, Justin, and Darren were all fantastic. Very professional and efficient.

I love this car. I replaced a Forester with the 2021 Crosstrek and like the Forester, fell in love with the car. The sporty look goes along with the sporty feel of the drive. It sticks to the ground... I do find the acceleration to be lacking. In the summer when accelerating to get on the interstate, I have to turn off the A/C to get the power I need to get up to speed before I enter the highway. Gas mileage is over the top. I usually average 27 - 29 MPG. Yesterday, after filling up and drive stop and go home, I drove 30 minutes with A/C on max and within the 30 minutes mpg climbed to near 30. It does lack the interior storage I was use to in my Forester. I did not opt for the Blind Spot Detection. If hindsight was 20/20, I would pay for the option and I would highly recommend you do the same if your thinking of purchasing the Crosstrek. The passenger side blind spot is horrific. I have cut off several other cars because I didn't see them. Now to safety check the blind spot, I have to lean forward in the seat to scan the mirror to ensure no one is there. Terrible interior design because the rear head rest in in the line of sight when turning you head. Overall, a great car and I'm not disappointed in the purchase. I will just remember next time to check that blind spot better before the purchase.

I recently had a 2008 Saturn that I didn't need. It ran ok, had 120k on it, but I had recently bought a new car and didn't trade it in. I called around to various places to see what I could get for it and the usual quote was $250-400. Uh no. I found Shift and they offered $1000 AND would come get it. I scheduled the pickup day and time online and the morning of, their employee texted me he was 15 minutes away. He showed up, did a walkaround, turned the car on, verified the mileage, and that was it. I signed the title over on his iPad and handed him the pink slip. This triggered Shift to immediately emailing me a copy of the document and a place for me to enter my routing number. (3 business days later the $1000 was in my bank account). He then drove off in my car and that was it. Process took about 30 minutes. Awesome experience and would do this all over again without any hesitation.

This car is perfect in every way! Its got racks, leather seats, great gas mileage, isn't too big or too small, and has great clearance and suspension! I couldn't recommend it any more, it's the best!

Very good quality and experience having my car repaired

i am 78 years old and have owned a lot of new cars and this one by far is the best . fun car to drive .

My car issues have been resolved . The price was dropped down, I did wish they would of payed for the whole deal, but it is, what it is. The word integrity has been lost in today's world.

Nice buying process. The place felt cleaned, spacious, and open. There were enough cars, colors, and trims on the lot. As soon as I got out of my car, sale man greeted me and offered help. Allowed me to spend time looking around. Falou explained car features in detail. With no hesitation, allowed me to take cars for test drive. During the buying process, I had worked with four employees, and they all were very professional. The paper work was fast and easy.

Meets all of my needs and is great in the snow. Will keep leasing them as long as they are around. Hope they make an electric one soon.

We have been dealing with Kearny Mesa Ford Kia for over 25 years and have bought 12 cars from this store. The entire store from Sales to service are totally professional and always listens to what you have to say . We sometimes had to take our car somewhere else when we were out of town and the experience was terrible. If my service advisor is not available I will wait until I can bring my car into him. The Parts and Service Director is the most wonderful and responsible person I have ever seen in my 55 years of buying and having my car service.

We do a fair amount of winter travel so wanted an all-wheel drive. We also wanted something economical. So far this fits the bill on the fuel efficiency. My highway and city driving have surpassed the rated mpg. Having owned a Subaru before, I’m certain the winter driving won’t disappoint either. We purchased the Limited edition, so this has all the fancy stuff (Apple CarPlay, moon roof, heated seats). The Eye-Sight safety features are worth the upgrade. The low-end torque is great so you can accelerate from zero with ease. However this 2.0 liter does not have the best power above 45 mph. If you want that, perhaps try the hybrid. They are hard to come by around here. Also the 2021 Crosstrek has an available 2.5L with much the same fuel economy. Way to go Subaru.

My husband Paul and I recently purchased a '06 Saturn ION from CarMax in Kearney Mesa. We were greeted with friendly and professional service. The purchase went smoothly and we are happy with our Saturn Ion.

Great looking exterior with roomy comfortable interior that offers some great features. I was looking to scale down the size of car I have been driving but still be comfortable and have something more fun to drive. The safety features are excellent.

Dan and Tom treated me with honesty and respect. I would refer any body looking for a used car to check out Carz. A good place to shop for a used car.

This car is fun to drive. It is economical on fuel. It is very comfortable to ride in. Maintenance and upkeep are minimal. Another cost-saver!

I love this car. It’s comfortable and gets great gas mileage. I love the Android Auto app. The sound system is perfect. I was able to get the color I wanted.

This is a great vehicle! I find it comfortable, well designed, and loaded with safety features that would cost far more in other makes of vehicle. The mileage is great, and I enjoy the stereo upgrade that came with my vehicle. The winter hasn’t proven to be a challenge-this vehicle does great even on unplowed roads. Couldn’t be happier with my Crosstrek, and I came to Subaru after owning three Ford Escapes that I really liked. I didn’t like the new body design of the Ford Escape, and decided to check out the Subaru. Glad I did!!

I have loved the car from the start. Good pick up and great mileage along with 4 wheel drive. Can't ask for more. Good value

I love the car, it has come fully loaded & we are still learning it. It is the best Christmas gift I ever got before!

I'm used to driving a Sedan, and the Crosstrek is just as if not more comfortable. Gas mileage is great leather seats are comfortable. Driven 150 miles and only used 1/4 of a tank !!!

I don't do a ton of posting but I have to tell you all about my experience with this auto dealer! I am 57 years old and I have bought sold many cars and trucks throughout my lifetime. I can honestly tell you that this was the most pleasurable, most hassle free auto buying experience that I ever had. From the moment I walked in the door, test drove the vehicle, negotiated an amazing price, and got through financing, the whole process took no more than an hour and a half. I was so surprised and I can actually say dumbfounded when they called my name to sign the paperwork and hand me the keys to my new truck. I kid you not an hour and a half they could not have been nicer, they could not have been more accommodating and concerned with my needs and my price range and they got me into the vehicle that I wanted! I drove all the way from Palm Springs to Temecula and Greg Carey the Fleet / internet sales manager had the truck set aside for me with my name on it so it wouldn't be sold until I got there. The truck was detailed, filled with gasoline and the paperwork was ready. All we had to do was agree on a price and I was out of there. Do yourself a solid and go see Greg and his team, and you'll have the best buying experience of your life I promise. Many many appreciative thanks to all the guys and gals there that made this such a pleasurable experience!

I had purchased a Subaru Forester previously..but, I like the Crosstrek more because it’s not as big. It meets my needs. Some in my family have changed from a Ford to a Subaru because they like my car!

Son did not hassle us at all. He was very professional and we did not feel pressured at all. The sale was quick and easy. Very pleasant atmosphere. We have told all our friends!

the car is very user friendly and all family members like driving it. it seems to be very fuel effincent. the tech is also easy to use

Tim was rep. We handled everything by text. My choice to do so. My car had a rattle. It was a loose screw on the heat shield. Fixed at no cost. So, I did other work I would have not been able to afford if the fix was costly.

I prefer to buy cars like this that can serve as many purposes as possible: daily driver, commuter, family car, cargo capacity, safe (good crash test results), amazing multimedia interface, amazing backup camera. Horsepower is lower than some competitors in exchange for better gas mileage than the competitors. It's my daily driver bc it gets about 25mpg city and 33mph highway. The All Wheel Drive makes it perfect for curvy roads in wet or icy pavement. The back seats fold down flat which makes the cargo area capable of accommodating furniture itms, large boxes, or a space for your large dog and crate. My trim is the Premium. All 4 seats are comfortable enough to endure a long road trip for your family. My model has heated cloth seats in front. The backup camera is the clearest, HD, sharpest wide-angle camera I've seen on a car. Even though I don't have parking assist sensors, the camera has the parking assist display so you can predict the car's trajectory when you just turn the wheel. The MultiMedia System has so many great features, including: sync your phone via bluetooth or USB to receive calls, texts, read texts aloud, and send texts with voice-to-text; either through bluetooth, USB, or Aux, you can play music and use the interface to change tracks; you can turn off the display, set the brightness, turn on auto brightness to adjust as the ambient light changes, set your "welcome lights" - to have your headlights stay on for a customizeable period after you turn off, exit, and lock the car; turn on and off the 1-touch turn signal; set the clock to sync with your phone. It comes with ApplePlay, (the interface works with Android as well). Another feature I'm really happy with are the 6 cup holders - 1 in each door and 2 between the front seats. This car might not be for you if you want a race car or if you need to tow a trailer often. With only 150hp and about 140 ft-lbs of torque, it feels a little weak. It could be fitted with aftermarket upgrades at the sacrifice of gas mileage. Towing is possible, but it won't be ideal due to slow acceleration. Mine does not have a Navigation package, so I use my phone for nav. The dashboard is relatively flat, with a perfectly flat surface above the stereo. The cubby below the stereo is also deep, wide, and flat. The air vents are right at hand placement, but might not be ideal for vent-mounted phone holders. A surprising feature is the front seats have a cloth/suede strip that you can prop up to catch things from falling between the center console and the seat. It's not far back enough to save items that fall out of your pockets, but it's good for crumbs mostly. Maybe a coin would be saved, but the flap isn't secure in the up posituon, so it'll fall with too much weight. Velcro could be applied to fix that. Or you can buy aftermarket products to fill that seat gap. Being all-wheel drive, towing the car must be done with all 4 wheels on the ground, or all 4 wheels off the ground (on a flatbed truck). There is a tow hook by the spare tire that fits into a socket in either the front or rear bumper. Mine has heated side mirrors which are great for cold frosty mornings. I wish it had blind spot monitors, but these can be purchased aftermarket. It also lacks a sunglasses cubby, but there are cheap aftermarket ways to fix that. I'm very pleased to have bought this car used for a very reasonable price. It's functional, stylish, and fun!

I checked around and found the Kia dealership in Temecula had the best rating in Southern California. I spoke with Jeremy he was great on the phone and he also checked me in for my service. When I came to pick up the car everything was in order he did some extra checking on the vehicle and I felt I could trust the service and the dealership. I will only bring my car here in the future. I highly recommend them.

Excellent drivability comfortable good value, quality and safety features Rides great . this is my 3rd Subaru 2 Foresters priori still own 1 2018 Subaru is a mainstay with me and my family. Great for winter
