Sporty and Great for Active Life
Fun looking car to drive! Safe and reliable in snow and ice. Great traction and smooth on bumps. Comfortable bucket seats and headrests are perfect fit. However, circuit outlets for charging phone can go out easily. Also, leaving light on w/o engine running can weaken battery rather quicker than many other cars. In addition, the process for dialing a paired phone by touching buttons on steering wheel and then answering questions is long and drawn out...many more steps than in KIAs, Hondas and Nissans. Overall, I think Subaru has made a great car that needs an upgrade fix on Bluetooth/hands free technology and circuit breaker components

New Subaru Crosstrek
It's a really great car; I love that it is so roomy and comfortable for a small SUV. It handles REALLY well in the rain and mud due to the standard AWD. I haven't gone off-road much but the little that I have done, the car has handled very well, as expected. Really LOVE the sun visors with their extensions, which block the sun when I'm heading east in the morning and west in the afternoon. Other things to know: Gas mileage is a bit tricky and takes some practice to make sure you get the mileage you expect. Lights and wipers work the opposite as they did in my previous car (Ford), and figuring out how the heating and cooling works with the 3 knobs has taken a little practice. And this new vehicle has way more electronics than my prior vehicle so it is an ongoing learning process. Overall, it is a great vehicle that I am enjoying driving and hope to have for a long time.

Safe + Comfort = Crosstrek
I am enjoying my first Subaru and would recommend anyone looking for a safe, reliable vehicle to purchase the crosstrek! It it fun to drive and I love the safety features. The crosstrek is loud when first starting up, something I didn't notice when test driving because I didn't leave the vehicle running and walk around it. I am surprised it doesn't have power seats or a power lift-gait.

Love it, although 1 big complaint
UPDATE: I've had my Subaru 2 years now but I'm still afraid to drive it off road much. Or at least on anything but a well maintained dirt road after the expensive tire fiasco. This is such a disappointment and I would not have purchased a Suraru had I known about this horrible issue with them. I live on a ranch and I'm afraid to even drive it across my fields as that's where I popped the tire that caused me to have to buy 4 brand new costly tires. Why is this vehicle made this way and the buyer isn't told before buying one :(. If the vehicle is rated for off-road use then it should have good enough tires available to handle it. Mine had top of the line M&S tires, the best I could buy in this small size to fit my Crosstrek and they are definitely the weak link in the system... and a very expensive one if need to drive off-road like I do on my ranch. I'll ever buy another Subaru, much as I love driving it and the fuel mileage, as the cost of always having to replace all 4 tires with new ones every time a rock pops a tire is turning into a horrendous and unstainable cost. I've had mine about a year and love it on the whole. However, I was shocked when I blew a tire (not repairable) and was required to buy 4 new tires. The tires were less than a year old. I'm now afraid to take it off road much as a result, as a blown tire is EXPENSIVE. It's also a bit gutless going up our mountain roads. But otherwise, I do love it. Drives easily. Good fuel mileage. I can carry 18/50# bags of feed easily w/back seats down. etc.
