Vehicle has been very reliable and dependable. Good performance in the snow. Decent MPG. Easy to change oil. Technology is very poor though. Text message and e-mail display fails to work most of the time. "EyeSight" active safety system has far too many false alarms and is more of an annoyance than useful. "EyeSight" frequently turns off due to inclement weather, leaving two very bright indicators on the dash. System takes a long time to scan for music on USB devices, and has to do it on every start up, even if the USB device was left plugged in. Steering wheel has four audio buttons on the same rocker switch, leading to pressing wrong controls unintentionally. Remote start system is an awful design. Remote start, as added to keyless entry system, does not reach more than 40 feet. And after remote starting, the vehicle turns off when the door is opened. Who thought that was a good idea? Also honks main horn when remote starting, real great for the neighbors. Rear defrost does not turn on with remote start, which is silly because that is mainly used during winter. Vehicle could also use a more powerful engine option and a better sound system option. Small annoying delay when shifting from reverse to drive. Gas latch is in a terrible location on the floor of the driver side. Prone to collecting dirt and debris, unless you have a floor mat that covers it.

My 3rd battery and 3rd set of tries yet only 47,000 miles on it. Its still looks brand new. I would have traded it in but I don't want to deal wiht dealership vultures. The dealership I bought it at flattened my tires, another one told me the sale price is $7G, I walked out. I'll keep it until it dies.

Brand new car, rolls back on hills, radar turns itself off, eyesight works sure,,, but check out all the road conditions when it doesnt- typically the time when you need it,, so is it of use? Not racers here as dog owners but mpg is lower than stated. Not impressed really. ** UPDATE,,, SOLD THE CAR**

Most Subaru buyers are college educated women and that describes me. This is my fifth Subaru, so I know of which I speak. I have driven Foresters, Outbacks, and even the old Loyale. The Crosstrek is far and away the most surefooted vehicle I have ever driven. I don't use chains or studs; I don't need to. It is not unusual for me to ford streams or climb the roads around Oregon's highest peak, Mt. Hood, in winter. Never have I felt the Crosstrek slide at all. I call my car "Orange Crush," because it is the beautiful tangerine color. Paint is in excellent condition after 3 years, as is the leather interior. Even my two dogs who are always co-piloting haven't managed to scratch or tear it. WIth my kayak on the roof, my two dogs inside, along with all our gear, there is still plenty of room. Best car ever. 30,000 miles on the odometer and not one issue, except having to replace the battery a few months ago. On the freeway, it is not unusual to reach 40-42 MPG.

The main reason I have chosen this car was the versatility of usages in any season, winter, snow, sand, mountain, city driving everything is covered. You do not need snow chain, you do not need special tires. Just use all season Michelin tires and you will be more than happy. It is extremely reliable. It has the highest resale value and very good fuel economy(29+ MPG). It is not too big and not too compact. It is not too expensive either. Most of the car loose value significantly(40%+) in first 5 years, however, this car lost only 5%-10%, because it has a very high demand and that demand drives the less depreciation.
