Subaru Crosstrek Customer Reviews

Pros

• Reliability

  The Crosstrek affirms my belief in the Subaru brand, and I believe I'll be driving this car for MANY years to come

• Value

  The price point for return on investment, functionality, and reliability is fairly matched.

Cons

• Power

  It's not quite as zippy as I thought it would be; just something to get accustomed to after driving a V8 Hemi for 10 years.

• Technology and Entertainment

  There is a bit of feature/function overload in the beginning; the learning curve may be steep for some, but likely worthwhile/

Pros

• Styling

  Perfect for a young adult. It’s stylish, drives easily and is dependable.

  Roomy inside seating and cargo space.

Cons

Pros

  it handles like a dream. its so smooth and buttery in the corners.

  it has almost everything i need. the only thing I wish it had was a way to view Google maps without having to use Android Connect

  the brakes are amazing. I can stop pretty quickly if I need too

Cons

  the trunk is pretty small for a crossover. it fits one stroller folded up and thays about it.

  the seats aren't super padded snd your back starts to hurt if you sit in it for too long

  it doesnt hold its value very well.

  Better than I expected, generally 30+ mpg and I drive mostly short city trips.

Cons

  I'm averaging 30 MPG!! It handles like a sport car.

• Technology and Entertainment

  I love the caution light that warns me of a car in my blind spot

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  When I set the radio to stations, the settings don't save. I have to reset them every time I start the car.

Pros

• Reliability

  Subaru has very good reliability and safety figures.

• Interior Space

  Though compact, the Crosstrek seems quite roomy and well designed. Good cargo area, too. I like the CD player, too!

• Value

  The car is an excellent value. The car and I are becoming "good friends". Look forward to taking some day-trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway (NC & VA)!

Cons

• Ride and Handling

  I wanted manual transmission and am pleased with it overall; however, the shifting is a bit bumpy (not as smooth as previous cars). It isn't a big deal, and I am adjusting. This will not be relevant in the future since 2023 is the last year for manual transmission in Subarus. :-(
