I bought the base Crosstrek with Eyesight. Love the exterior styling. But the interior looks cheap and there's creaking noises around the dash and door trim. Paint chips easily. Update: engine sometimes will make a rattling noise under light acceleration at low speed (Like marble chips inside a soda can) I was told that it was a fuel problem, but after many stays at the dealership proved unsuccessful because "they couldn't replicate the noise", I traded it in for a CX-5 before the warranty expired.

'21 Subaru Crosstrek Sport 2 Year Ownership Review

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

It's been almost two years since we've owned our '21 Subaru Crosstrek Sport in Kool Grey Khaki and since it's a Japanese car, it's been rock solid reliable. No mechanical issues and no recalls. However, there are certain components that aren't holding up so well. There is a constant rattle from the center console and one of the sun visors that will not go away. Every time I go over bumps the car rattles like crazy which makes the car feel incredibly cheap. Also, considering it was almost a $30,000 vehicle when new, why doesn't it have LED headlights? Or at least LED running lights? It's a 2021 vehicle and has poor halogen lights that look like they were pulled from a 2004 vehicle! Only the Limited offers LED headlights (that also turn with the steering wheel called adaptive headlights) which is not good value. They should be standard on all trims. There's also an issue with the weather stripping in the windshield cowl. I went to open the hood to dust off the engine bay and noticed that the seal came detached and was difficult to reinstall. I didn't think a component that's out of the sun would fall apart like that. I also figured it's a Japanese car so quality should be a strong suit but with the constant rattling and trim falling apart, I'm not very impressed. Mechanically, it's sound but cosmetically, it could be better. Despite its shortcomings, I would still recommend this car to anyone looking for a compact crossover who doesn't want to lug around a big S.U.V., has standard AWD, and just enough safety features to keep someone happy and reassured. Since it's essentially a lifted hatchback, it's also quite fun to drive, especially around corners. The upgraded 2.5L Boxer with 30 extra horsepower is a noticeable difference compared to the base 2.0L. Anyone who is interested in a Crosstrek, I would recommend either the Sport or the Limited. They're the better value out of the bunch.
