Great car for the price. Responsive steering. Better traction and acceleration than my 2014 Nissan Juke Nismo. I also enjoy having both more cargo and passenger space. So far I love it.

The Crosstrek handles well, gets great gas mileage, is very comfortable to drive and ride in, and I love the blind side assist and the back up camera - but Subaru went CHEAP on the paint! Ugh! I keep my car clean and hand wax it for protection and there is chipped paint all over the place. I have just over 9,000 miles and have had it about 5 1/2 months, and drive mostly on paved roads. Very glad I sprung for the hood and door edge protective coating, only wish the entire car could have bee not wrapped in that stuff. Not a happy camper...especially since I'm someone who keeps a car for over 200,000 miles. I can see a professional paint job in its future. (Bought it April 24, 2017, the field for the year below isn't working on my iPad) UPDATE 10-12-18, ~ 35,000 MILES: Still love the car, still hate the paint--and the paint is getting worse over time. Tons of little nicks and chips, and now I understand a paint job is around $5k, not $2k like I originally thought, so that's out. C'mon Subaru, fix this so I can make this my NEXT car too, cuz I won't sign up again if the paint is the same.

The Crosstrek is a very nice crossover. The interior is well finished and laid out. There are no blind spots. The exterior is pleasing and well finished. It could, however, use more storage areas both in the cabin and in the cargo area. The transmission shifts very well for the most part but, is not great. The engine has enough power for my needs but, in my opinion, under-powered by most peoples standards and it's a bit noisy. Based on prior Subaru ownership, the Crosstrek should be exceptionally reliable. Coming from a KIA Soul it's a step up in respect, feel and most things but, if the Soul was available in all wheel drive, I would have purchased another one.

This is my wife's new car, purchased end of year clearance. To get what she wanted, especially at end of year, she had to get the Premium rather than the more basic. The car surprised me after reading the reviews by Edmunds itself. I had to ease off of the gas pedal when it jumped ahead. There was definitely NOT a 10 second gap from 0 to 60. The car gets out of its own way without problem. Merging on the California freeways was no problem at all, the car has plenty of pep. The inside is quite beautiful. The only negative so far is that we can't add ceramic film to the windshield due to the Eyesight cameras. Ceramic film does keep out a good bit of heat on my RAV4 when parked in the hot CA sun all day, keeping the steering wheel warm to the touch in hot sun rather than HOT untouchable. The 2017 Crosstrek has been a pleasure to drive so far. It has been a year, and I am completely happy with my choice of cars. The Crosstrek is still a fun car to drive. It rides and handles beautifully. Subaru has definitely replaced Toyota in my heart.

I give this vehicle an overall 4.9 Stars. My only complaint is the technology...such as, voice command (difficult to use), available apps, and the Starlink (difficult to use) isn't up to par with things like, Android Auto and Apple Carplay that is available in other brand vehicles. Starlink is very sub-par, and needs major improvement. Other than that...EVERYTHING else is perfect! Favorite vehicle I've owned, by far.
