Subaru Crosstrek for Sale in Lake Forest, CA

No storage compartments in rear. “Felt” paper for carpets. No CD player. Not what I wanted for the money. Value not there. Do not recommend.

I’ve had it almost a month and love it so far. I really enjoy the versatility, but the ride and overall driving experience is really nice. I was impressed with the visibility - one of my biggest concerns about changing from a sedan to SUV. Even my wife loves it, and she hates everything at first.

We purchased this for our daughter's first car. The 18's had just come out so we were able to get a brand new 17 with the Eyesight Safety package for less than the base 18 model. The high points of this vehicle for me are SAFETY, VISIBILITY, & DEPENDABILITY. EXTERIOR: The exterior of the vehicle is stylish and slightly rugged. Doors open wide (almost a full 90 degrees) and close with a sturdy clunk. Roof rails are standard, and with a set of optional crossbars will hold a good size cargo box. INTERIOR:The interior is durable cloth with a stylish orange contrast stitch. More than adequate head and legroom all around. Ample cargo space. As I mentioned before, the visibility in this thing is unmatched with large windshield and side/rear glass. There are soft touch materials aplenty. Controls (both dash and steering wheel) are very well organized and intuitively thought out. The Crosstrek does seem to suffer from a bit of identity crisis. Are the interior backlights Orange? Blue? Red? White? Yes to all and it seems a little disjointed but is not a major issue. Bluetooth and infotainment system is easy to use and features a single CD player, 2 USB ports, an auxiliary port and available XM Satellite radio. My only quibbles with the interior are the odd placement of the heated seat switch, lack of sunglass holder and a cruise adjustment that takes some getting used to (hard to explain, but suffice it to say it's the opposite of most cars I've driven). RIDE/PERFORMANCE: Ride quality is great. Cabin is quiet. Acceleration is adequate and the CVT is much better than the one on my Honda HRV. I wouldn't call it sporty, but I could go with nimble. Love that this vehicle is AWD, and unlike other offerings in this segment it is TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE, not 2WD and AWD when it senses it needs to be. Keep that in mind when you are comparison shopping. SAFETY: The Eyesight System is awesome! Adaptive cruise will keep you 1-2-or 3 car lengths behind the car in front of you. Emergency Breaking, Blind Spot Monitors, Rear Back up Camera with crossover warning all help ease our minds a little when we send our teenager out on the road. More airbags than you probably need, including drivers knee airbag. This is also a Insurance Top Pick for collision. SUMMARY: To sum it up, a great safe practical durable choice in this segment. I really wish I had chosen this when I was shopping for myself as my Honda HRV is a real turd to drive.

This car is perfect for me. As long as you maintain it, nothing will ever go wrong with it. I love the styling and the reliability of the vehicle. Subaru did a great job on this one!

Had limited 2017Crosstrek unfortunately badly rear ended by plumber contractor's van. Survived crash. Eyesight and AWD was great, loved higher clearance and visibility around. It was best choice for the money, tried Honda, Toyota, Mazda counterparts - they are good vehicles but Subaru was better for me.

This car meets or exceeds all our needs and we plan to have it a long time. We've owned several Subarus and this is the best yet!

The Subaru Crosstrek is my favorite purchased vehicle of all time. It’s big enough to haul a 5 foot dresser and small enough to park in a tight spot. My next car will definitely be another Crosstrek!!

This is a fantastic, versatile, comfortable daily driver. It’s completely capable on and off the beaten path not to mention the cargo space is laid out perfectly. Most people will say its under powered and I understand however it’s a daily driver and not a race car. It’s 100% perfect for what you’re paying for. Absolutely love this car!

Good price if you are a negotiator; great winter driving; nice space, roomy; stylish; good safety record; if you drive the original tangerine you'll get lots of questions & compliments

I have owned my 2018 Crosstrek for 7 months and I still love it as much as the day I drove it off the lot. Excellent fuel economy for the weight and drivetrain. Fun to drive with fantastic steering response. It is a bit underpowered for my liking but it does have the torque for highway passing. The cargo area is spacious and the rear seats fold completely flat which is great for hauling. After test driving and researching several vehicles in this market segment, this was the best “bang for the buck”. I strongly recommend this vehicle.

The car is great for travel. The AWD is a great feature to have in the northeast. It got me through many bad snowstorms. Handles excellently and has great MPG

As far as I’m concerned, living in Canada where the snow is often not cleared, you have two choices of vehicles, Subaru or AUDI, and Subaru is half the money for the same traction. Any other type of ’all wheel drive’ system, I don’t care what you call it, is not up to performing well enough when you need real traction. This vehicle is also tall enough to have proper clearance, but not to tall that it has poor stability. The new engine is very good on gas, almost as good as our civic was.

Ever since I laid my eyes on the Crosstrek I have wanted one. They are a practical car with smooth styling. My wife and have taken my Crosstrek camping and on little trips and it always performs awesome.

Trouble free transportation in a nice looking all around good car. Clean oil and filters and a full tank of gas and you are good to go.

Loved the overall styling. When I would see one going down the road I was always proud to be driving a Crosstrek. It was a very reliable, comfortable car and my best experience overall was having an AWD to drive through the snow in the mountains. No other car I've owned left me feeling as safe and confident as the Crosstrek did. Cons: For a Subaru I was disappointed in the heating system and defrost. Living in Nebraska and traveling frequently to CO in the winter I was more than surprised to find out the heater was less than impressive and the defrost could not keep up with the sleet on the interstate. I drove at least 100 miles with an ice dam on my windshield because of the poor defrosting capability. C'mon Subaru! Also was not impressed with the windshield wipers. A new car should be streak free and keep the ice and snow off better than these did. Lastly on the cons, I never was able to use the hands free in my Crostrek. Not sure if all Crosstrek owners experience the same, but the mic in the car wasn't sensitive enough to pick up anything I was saying. When I did make a call - manually, because I could never get the audio to pick up what I was saying, whoever I was talking to always said they really couldn't hear what I was saying. I finally just stopped using it altogether. Overall though, a great car and I would have no hesitation buying one again. Next Subaru will have the eyesight feature. :-)

Fun to drive. Turns heads. Many compliments. Very reliable and economical to own. Sporty and just a bit rugged as well! Never any problems. Just gas and oil! Subaru boxer engines run forever.

Power is not that high, but comfort ease of driving, leg room heated seats, 6 speed, gas mileage 37.8 mpg, great little car but not for 10,000 ft in elevation

Great car for anyone who wants dependability, great performance, comfort, necessary amenities and darn good gas mileage. There are only 2 minor features I would change about this car if I could. Great value and I would not hesitate to purchase another one tomorrow!

It's definitely a subaru. Car gets amazing gas mileage, and with the maintenance in check will never have any major issues, can really take a beating. Seats are somewhat uncomfortable though and suspension is stiff

The car has met my needs and I have been extremely happy with its reliability and performance. Subaru makes great vehicles and I cannot stress how satisfied I have been with everyone in the service department. Great job everyone!
