Used 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Great Car for the Money
this is my third Subaru, I have been driving mostly German cars over the years but my last 3 cars which I usually keep no more than 18 months haveall been subies. love the german cars but quality over the years has gone down hill. not sure what it is but I love the control of the All wheel Drive it just sucks the road. I drove a 2011 outback for a little while with the cvt and was under powered. I choose the 5 speed crosstrek because of the lack of power on the cvt . I think if you stick with the 5 speed it really brings out the true car. it would be even better is there was a turbo version. the build quality is better than the outback probably because its made in japan.
Crosstrek Problems
I had a 2013 Crosstrek with 35,000mi purchased in 2012. It eats a qt of oil aprx every 12-1500 mi. The manual says this is normal for a boxer engine. I've had many boxer engines & NONE of the others ate oil. It also eats the right rear tire. You have to buy AWD tires in groups of 4, so this is expensive. I sorta like the car & love the look, but my old vw bug had more pep. Both have manual trans. Seriously considering trading it in. edit: I traded it in on a Toyota This is my second new purchase lemon from Subaru. I won't buy another.

BEWARE - oil consumption
Bought the 2013 Crosstrek brand new. Noticed the oil was low on the very first oil change which I do myself. Since then it's been ongoing. The court resolution was of no use to me cause I was already over 100,000 by that time. Currently I'm topping off my oil very other day or about every 150 miles with at least a quart.

Nothing but problems
2013 XV Crosstrek - 109k miles Axle shaft both right and left have been replaced several times. Passenger Airbag Light on and dealership wants $900 to replace Passenger side seat bottom. How about a recall for your shitty Produced car. Will NEVER buy another “subarcrap”
transmission failed at 113,000
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
