Gutless! This car has absolutely no powe- screams going up a hill if you try to use the “paddle shifter “and turn a corner there’s no way of shifting because the paddle shifters are nowhere to be found. The sun is constantly in my eyes the visors only cover 1/2 of the windshield? And no expanders, super good engineering . I have light beige cloth seats that if you even look at them they get stained. Seriously if you get water on them it looks like the biggest coffee stain ever all seats look totally thrashed after about two months . If you turn the ignition off, but have an open the doors your windows won’t work ( cheapest feature out there?) the radio is a piece of crap, the knobs inside are all cheap and look like they wouldn’t hold up for very many years . Very difficult to unlatch the hood to check the engine compartment . On the upside it doesn’t hydroplane in the rain or water puddles . I would sure like my money back toward another vehicle that doesn’t have all the issues I think I d take hydroplaning over the issues that I can’t stand in this thing. Also the trunk window doesn’t go down but I guess they didn’t make that feature in this car ( again cheap) Overall -so unhappy

I love everything about my little subaru crosstrek. The ride is smooth and enjoyable, the car has personality and spunk! I've got 135,000 miles and counting!

While I liked the appearance and style of this small crossover, it is not nearly at the level I expect from a car so well considered by so many. What do they see in this car that I do not? Far from spacious, there is not much room in here. It is not very comfortable to drive, even with the premium leather interior, no where to rest your elbows really. There is a very flimsy layer of carpet in the trunk area, carries over when you fold the seats down, the carpet actually sags on the support bars. The leather is also paper thin on the arm rest and already ripped. The loud ungodly blowers of the heating/air climate control system are terrible and I can't make business calls when I am driving because of the background noise. I wind up saying what?? the whole time. This is a hard pill to swallow. The 33 MPG highway...sounds super inflated and I have never see milage that good, even though 80% of my driving is on the highway. The worst thing about this car is how I work out of my trunk and I can not see anything at night...never even gave it a thought about how important A LIGHT WOULD BE in a trunk, nor did I ever think to check really when I bought it...a hatchback with no light in the back!!! It's a bizarre shortcut. It annoys me to no end that I need a flashlight to prepare for my day/bring product for work in and out of the car. Why did Subaru make a car with no interior hatch lighting? It is not going to win any races, but I could live with that if it had great gas milage. I had a Volvo XC previously, so when other reviews said this car is great in the snow...I believed them. Not so, I have had more white knuckled trips in this feather weight...not to mention you need running speed to make it up hills since it is so light. My Volvo could have pushed this little guy up the hills! It ate snowstorms and spit them out. Bottom line: I'm not a big believer in reviews after reading this car's. Did I mention the paint will come off if you lean against it? It had 2 large rust spots on the roof already before it hit 40k, and chips all over it that I had a detailer fill. He said he filled 55 chip marks, pebbles on the road take the paint off this car. So disappointing. Can't wait to unload it. Sorry Subaru, this is a fail.

I do love everything about this car, except it burned oil so badly starting with the first 6000 miles! After almost 40k miles, Subaru FINALLY replaced the short block, but it only changed my oil consumption from 1qt. every ~1800 miles to 1qt. every ~4000-4500 miles. :/ I also had to have both of my rear wheel bearings replaced before 75k miles! Although I don't live on the best of roads, they should last a lot longer than that! Otherwise, everything else about the car is AWESOME and I would purchase a Subaru again knowing that my husband's 2016 Crosstrek has had NO issues with oil, etc.
