Day 6 check engine light on. Rattles. Usb doesn’t work.
AWD vs. MPG
I bought the car when I lived in Pennsylvania, and it was great for winter weather. When I moved to North Carolina, I no longer needed the AWD and wanted something with better MPG. I recommend this car to anyone who wants a reliable vehicle for winter driving and isnt concerned about fuel mileage.

Perfect for what I need
I used to only buy American, after having several problems almost from the start with my "superior American" cars for years I finally decided to buy a Nakajima, so far the fit on everything is better "it's amazing how many panels on American cars don't line up exactly right), it has FAR more features for the price point than any American car I've seen, a chevy Cruze or Ford fusion would cost the same for two wheel drive, cloth, no heated seats etc. I've even gotten fond of the CVT transmission, it reacts different than American transmissions and the power band doesn't feel the same so it takes getting used to but it's actually a lot smoother than American automatics, and I still have the use of 5 speed manual in this. It's not a dragster like my constant headache mustang was, but it's not supposed to be and now that I'm a daddy I'm over my racing days... Though if I ever got back to it now I might instead opt for a WRX or EVO over a mustang
Love my Subaru!
I love my crosstrek, but I just had to replace the cvt valve body which I have read a few people having issues. 108,000 miles though so I can't expect perfection. Warranty covered it and I'm back on the road loving my Subaru. I love the way it feels and how it handles when I drive. I can't wait to find a little slippery trail to try out the AWD. I love the Bluetooth and to be honest, the sound system is not that bad for my liking. Overall a 4 out of 5 only because having the car in the shop was an inconvenience and the fact that so many people had the same problem. Still love my Subaru.
