Mostly "5 Star" satisfaction as far as owner of this vehicle. Only complaints have to do with interior comfort, road noise & ride. If you can set these aside everything else is a joy. I have 57,000 thousand miles so far and the car still looks great like the day I bought it. The road noise was somewhat corrected when I put new passenger tires on and got rid of those awful all terrain tires. Ride improved somewhat too. On average I get 26-28 mpg city and 32-34 hwy. Have gotten up to 41 mpg at steady 55 pace!😀 Great car! Unfortunitily sold car 7 months ago for a Lexus RX350 Loved the Car though! Needed more room

don't buy this car. Bought it new and transmission failed. I did all the preventive maintenance. Should have learned from my 1st Subaru that died on me at 110,000 miles. I will be buying a rav4 now because I have lost thousands of dollars. The cost to fix the transmission would be 3 grand. no way jose

Never had a Subaru before. Son & daughter in law have had a few. Live in Michigan where winter is rough. Son convinced me to lease new Crosstrek. I love it!!! I get super great gas mileage. In fact one time I went 20 days between fill ups. I usually get anywhere from 25-29 miles per gallon, in the city. I don't drive freeway often. I can't wait to see how it handles in the winter. When lease is up I am considering going to an Outback or Forrester. Son drives Forrester, says ride isn't as smooth as CrossTrek. Outlback is. So may be that one. I have no complaints what so ever. I love love my CrossTrek.
Bummed about MPG!

I really like most things about the car but I am getting terrible (15-19) mpg after 3,000 miles and I don't understand why! I purchased the car expecting it get pretty good MPG around the city, yet still be a fun weekend car for mountain adventures. It has a solid interior, good handling, relatively high clearance and a rugged look, all of which I like. But for some reason the mpg is totally lacking. I am a mellow driver and I do a mix of city/hwy, so I can't figure out any obvious explanation for the bad mileage.
What I thought was a dream is a nightmare!

At first I absolutely loved my purchase. Great in snow, rain etc. My car had no problems in any weather condition. Took it on all kinds of adventures with my Dog and husband. The seats fold down flat so with tetris skills you can fit a surprising amount in it. In 2018 I started to hear a buzzing sound when driving, shortly after a screeching sound when I turned. Took it in and had a barring replaced but the buz sound was still there. Less then a year later, buzzing and screeching sound, took it in and had another barring fixed. I could still hear a buz months later and it seemed worse, took it in and they replaced a belt. Had a notice for some recall work so I took it and asked if they could check they sound and they said everything was fine. Months later again I was in another 2013 trek with less km's, no sound. At the time my assembly plate had also caused my key to get stuck sometimes so I took it in again and asked them to check the buz. This time I was informed that I needed a new transmission, warranty covers up to 160,000 km, I am 163,000 so sol. I called Subaru Canada and was told that even if I was 1 km over they wouldn't do anything. If you have one sell it back to a dealer. If you are looking to buy... don't. Side note, second Subaru I have owned to jave the Transmission go, first lasted longer and was older but clearly there is an issue they are not addressing. Fool me once, fool me twice, don't buy a Subaru.
