Today test drove the Crosstrek Limited urged by the reviews we read. I was sure this would be our new car today, but during the test drive found the cabin noise, road noise and engine noise to be tiresome. The seats are not comfortable both the driver and the passenger. We sat in the Limited Outback and the diffetence felt like two completely different manufactures. The inside cabin felt cheap (this was the Limited version) too much thin plastic and smelled like cheap plastic ( not the "new car" smell. We were disappointed - for $29,000 we were expecting more car. I'm sure the AWD is great from. Subaru, but the car simply felt flimsy and noisy

Update. Subaru and others must have agreed with my review, as the hybrid was laid to rest. If you are considering a used one, turn and run, youve been warned. Plain and simple..we bought a fake hybrid Crosstrek, at a 3000 + dollar discount. Thank goodness because we got out of it in a year. Car got barely 25 mpg overall. Hybrid system used only electric power for seconds at a time. Car shuts off which is supposed to help mileage. What a joke, car would start and stop several times at a red light and if you need to crawl forward a few feet would kick back on with a startling jolt. Instrumentation is crude at best. Very difficult to navigate the info screen, not intuitive at all. Road noise is completely unacceptable. Plain loud. Back seats cramped for a vehicle this size and the trunk is miniscule due to battery placement. Factory stereo is a joke. Horrible experince in a new car. Had a previous older model Forester that was a better car than this. Only saving grace was the huge discount, enabling us to trade into something else. We leased a Cadillac SRX AWD at a great deal, paying about 75 dollars a month more for a much, much better car. The huge Caddy with its big engine and hefty weight manages 18 mpg overall. If you need something AWD and affordable look elsewhere.

If you are looking for a great small suv cross over thing. This is your best bet. Can beat the great price and hugs the road and great in bad weather. Its not super luxorious by any means but still has all the stuff I need. Fits me great, being 6'3' and 250+ which is nice. With the bluetooth and everything it works well. Only thing I wish is to be more room in the trunk area to put random stuff. But I will figure out a system.

I drove 2005 Saab 9-2x (Impreza Wagon) for 10 years and 206,000 miles with no or very little issues so I had to get another Subie. 2 months and 4700 miles into it; acceleration is a problem if you are going uphill that's for sure but not otherwise. Yes, its bit noisy but not enough to write home about. Throughout the cold Northeast winter; I have been averaging 28 mpg and hoping for a bit more when winter blend gas ends. Comfortable ride and the ability to see everything is a great safety feature. Love the backup Camera feature particularly with parallel parking in the city and avoiding snow banks. Here is to another 200,000 plus miles and 10 years!
Should have test drove it with passenger

I see why the dealership push the CVT I should have not picked a 5 speed. I commute about 60 miles one way. This is not a commuter car do yourself a favor pick the 6 speed if you want a manual shift. The gears are so near each other it is more like a 3 speed not a 5. I shift 1 3 5 90% of the time. If they would change 5 gear or make it a 6 speed you can pick up more MPG. 5 gear 3000 RPM is ~ 65. In my 11 year old Subaru it would be almost 75. Who decided to put the emergency brake lever on the driver side? This causes 2 issues one it moves 1st gear over more to the passenger side it is not far drivers side natural position so when you shift to 5 gear you are in the passengers leg with the shifter. Next when you need it you can find the lever for the brake it is under you right leg. UPDATE Due to the oil burn issue and I was told if I purchased another one that it would not guarantee that I would not see the same issue again. Subaru bought the car back. I went with a Honda CRV
