like everything about this car except steering wheel controls. too crowded; always hitting some button unintentionally, the sport model has nice wheels. and better spoiler,pros keep saying it needs more power , i disagree, for 90% of people the power is fine. i have owned 41 cars so far, and i really like this one. .

As a lifelong Toyota owner, I was reluctant to leave the brand but Toyota suv ratings just weren’t great. I looked at Honda CR-V, and Mazda but every auto rating publication rated the subaru higher. So I visited my local subaru dealer and test drove one. The ratings are right- this is one fantastic compact suv. Not only does it drive like a dream- quiet, smooth and responsive with lots of pep, but the safety features are awesome. I have terrible night vision and for the last few years I have avoided driving at night. But not anymore. The Eyesight safety features that let me know when I can safely change lanes to the incredible steering responsive headlights that turn when I turn have changed my life. I can drive at night now because I can see! My new car is loaded with other goodies too for a price comparable to its competitor cars who don’t have these safety features. Definitely look at the subaru Crosstrek before considering anything else.

I just picked up my 2020 Pure Red Crosstrek. I love the cloth seats, very nice along with great back seats.For me, being 5ft 8 in size was never a problem. It work very well with all the added extras you can pick up. It seats high enough so you can see whats up ahead. And the Subaru AWD is just wonderfull. The cargo space is just what me and my wife need So do your home work and look into a Crosstrek. So many people complain that its not this or that. All I have to say is , why did you buy it. Its a great car and what it has for the money is so much more than other brands. And you know what. You can get red paint at no extra cost!

Subaru listened to the consumer. I just purchased a limited model. The new true red. Love it. The back up camera is larger and you can see more angles when backing up. This vehicle now has the automatic door locks- a must have... and there is a sport control that gives the Crosstrek a little extra punch if you want it. Has all the previous features with eyesight, cruise, blind spot notification. Great vehicle with all the safety features as well.

2020 Crosstrek Hybrid in real life 15 EV miles

5,000 mile update: Crosstrek Hybrid has a 8.8 kw battery same as Prius Prime. The difference is with Prius Prime we averaged about 30 pure EV miles before gas engine kicked in. The Crosstrek however states that 17 EV miles but in real world driving with AC on you can only get about 15 EV miles. Also Crosstrek going over 65mph the gas engine kicks on so on the highway I push "save" mode and use gasoline instead. Subaru AWD handles well and the quality is better than Outback and Ascent because Crosstrek and Foresters are still 100% made in Japan. I've driven cross country all highway and the best was 29 mpg. Don't buy this expecting a Prius mpg but do buy this for AWD handling and 15 EV electric off roading miles. Also the cargo barely fits 2 carry on so you will definitely need a second suv if you have a family or a dog bigger than 10lbs. Another con is rear seats do not have AC vent so it will get hot in the sunbelt. 2020 Limited and Hybrid trim level Crosstreks receive updated LED headlight design, with the Hybrid being distinguished with silver trim along the projector beams. Another feature Subaru added to all 2020 Crosstrek is automatic door lock / unlock in the event of an accident. This is an important feature that could potentially save lives. For about same amount of money $39k msrp I would rather wait for the 2021 Rav4 Prime with over 40 EV miles. Sorry Subaru, to stay competitive you have to step up the battery range!
