2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Love driving the car, bought out the lease, but...this model has 3 recalls (fix only when that particular repair is needed); also had to repace the radio (no warrenty) 3 years old, then at 66,000 miles had to replace the front CV joint and then the bearings in both back wheels which was very expensive. (could hear the "roaring" from the rear end of the car..all better now) This car is kept garaged, rarely driven on dirt roads. Worried about what's next? Never had these problems with 2 Toyotas I owned and dorve over 150,000 miles
No love for me

2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Own a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid. This car eats tires faster than my old truck did that I traded in. Had to replace the battery that is used when switching between gas and electric. Car was 4 years old then. Car has had both the condenser and fan ac parts replaced. Drivers seat has a tear from everyday use. Apparently Subaru believes you don’t need to be comfortable.Never had this happen in any other car. And I’ve owned many through the years. It’s back in the shop for $3800 of work. Ranging from full rear brake job to all front bushings, control arms, and 2 week bearings. This was my first and will be my last Subaru. Once it’s all fixed I’m getting rid of it.

The interface with the electronics is not very good. The car handles well,, but the CVT transmission in conjunction with the hybrid makes the car baulk from start.

I really love my car, sharp looking, great in the snow, 31 mpg. Lots of room to haul stuff (hay, riding gear, etc). What is don't like is acceleration from a stop but the engine is not really that big for all wheel drive. Don't like the seat heaters. They don't work well, they run off ambient temperature which is annoying. The seats are not made for bigger butts. I wish I had a beeper warning with the back up camera. Other than those things I'm very pleased with the car. I would definitely buy another one. I had to buy new tires, I got Coopers. Disappointed that I've lost 4 mpg, but if they last longer than the factory tires I'll be happy. Still very happy with my car after 26 months. Cooper tires were a big waste of hundreds of dollars. I’ve had them 14 months. Totally useless to in snow, no traction. I still love Crosstreks so much that I’m getting a new one today, 2019.

I bought this car to go to Chicago every day because of it's safety and small size. I have two big problems with this car and they are: 1. comfort of the seats- I needed to use a back cushion in order to be comfortable and 2. cabin noise is awful. You can not use the voice control because the cabin is too noisy. I had to use my ear jacks to hear on my cell phone. I would have kept this car forever if it was quite. The other problem is the outdated navigation system. I tried to use it but it wasn't worth the frustration. I just used my cell phone. If you are using it to run around town or you live in a snow belt this may be the car for you. If you are looking for a quite comfortable car look elsewhere.
