Crosstrek - happy compromise

By Dan written on 03-20-2017

We didn't want a bulky SUV but did want AWD and advanced safety features. The Crosstrek hit the mark - a raised compact car with nice interior finishes, very good MPG, excellent ride comfort, good visibility, and not too high a price. The entertainment system is OK, but had Android Auto been available, I would have gotten that instead. Acceleration is fine under nearly all conditions - unless very heavily loaded and going up steep hills. The highest MPG we have gotten is 39 on a summer trip on flat roads averaging around 50-55 mph. I might have waited for the 2017 with the new platform, but the Crosstrek version wasn't coming out for another year and the current model is fine for the price. Would have been nice to have a drivers' power seat option - not available in 2016. However, lots of advanced safety warning are available with adaptive cruise control and rear obstacle detection probably the most useful. Overall, if the size and features fit your needs, there really is no other choice than the Crosstrek...

Crosstrek Road Trip

By Northstar written on 09-26-2016

I took the Crosstrek on a weekend road trip from west of the Twin Cities to Green Bay for a wedding, 750 mile round trip. My 1st impressions were the seats, very hard and uncomfortable, I knew that this would be a long trip! I'm not sure why the Japanese manufactures have to make their seats so damn hard. We had to stop along the way and purchase a stadium seat pad for my wife and I to be able to complete the road trip (she's is about 110lbs and had the same complaint about these seats). As for the driving impressions the CVT is very herky jerky upon acceleration and the little 4 cly made a lot of noise and seemed to have to work very hard to get up to speed. I was amazed at the excessive engine braking the CVT transmission had when slowing to a stop. I'll say right now that I have never been a 4 cly fan and this engine did nothing to change my mind. I would gladly give up a few MPG to have a few more cylinders! That being said the Crosstrek averaged 33.5 MGP on this road trip running 75+ mph, I was happy with that (vehicle computer indicated). The Bluetooth worked fine, but the voice commands for the Navi were spotty at best whether it was my wife or I speaking, (MN accent maybe?) Once I was familiar with the controls they were fine and easy to access. Some of the controls are completely unnecessary, paddle shifters, really, this is not a Corvette, Ferrari, or Porsche. I find paddle shifters a total waste on anything but a sports car. And to top it off, my hands were always hitting them when adjusting on the wheel. (I hate these damn things!) I did did used to the placement after a while. The siping in the roads tended to pull the vehicle from side to side. I'm sure that this is a combination of the tires, wheel base, and the road siping. The steering is once again overly sensitive, very limited movement of the wheel results in directional change, It's not a sports car so I don't need the wheel to be this sensitive! After some time in the vehicle you get used to the sensitivity. I guess that I'm not the person that this vehicle is designed for. If I want razor like handling I get in my Corvette, but for normal driving I do not need this type of handling. A better choice for a small CUV/SUV would be the Escape, Rav4 or something along that line.

Frist new car. Very happy

Only thing that bugs me is the Bluetooth connectivity and the poor handsfree sound quality
