Sube. Cross 2.5 Subcompact

Love the New Subaru Crosstrek Subcompact. It's not an SUV. I've driven an SUV and this is nothing like that. It has a little less cargo space then my past Impreza, but it has a nicer ride and taller ground clearance.

Pacific Northwest Crosstrek

An all wheel drive car with a powerful 2.5 engine. What a great car! I bought the Limited with power sunroof, heated leather seats and lots of other creature comforts. The XMode has proven a winner for winter driving in the Pacific Northwest along with the great heated seats. Very comfortable and the handling is amazing. Sun roof open during the summer - great fun. This car is tons of fun and we love it. For everything included, the price seems good. Glad I bought this car. We moved some stuff up north from California and with the rear seats down there was an amazing amount of space in the back. Crosstrek is a winner all the way around!!

To Noisy

I really wanted to buy this car. Test drove a Limited model with the 2.5 engine. Car rides really nice and smooth. But, the road and wind noise is excessive. The loud noise from the wind and tires plus the engine killed the deal for me.

Jumped on the bandwagon without doing my homework

Bought my car brand new at the end of July 2021. Since then, the seats have started to fade, and so has the black plastic molding around the doors on the exterior. Car is not parked in direct sunlight, and I’m the only one that occupies the cabin, so it’s not like I have kids and pets in there causing premature wear. Transmission making a whining noise which is amplified if the radio is off; the transmission also is a bit “jerky” if you have to step on the gas to merge. Steering wheel leather wrap starting to develop wrinkles, and there is a strange clunking noise coming from the rear when shifting from reverse to drive. Car has 3972 miles, and this is absolutely unacceptable. Spend an additional $5000 and get a Toyota or something else, you’ll make up for the additional cost with less aggravation and fewer headaches.
