The vehicle is very spacious so all my groceries can fit.
Very smooth on the road, very comfortable/safe, nice color of the car, no problems indicated, very reliable, safe for children, a little expensive but worth the pay, love the Subaru, nice way of opening the back, very spacious, husband likes it, very secure.

Over 30 mpg, fun to drive, lots of recycled material in the car.
The car is really fun to drive, with good pickup and excellent gas mileage for a all wheel drive. It is one of the most dependable cars that I have ever owned. The service from the dealership is outstanding. I love that the majority of the car is made from recycled materials which is fantastic. The hybrid drive is a wonderful thing.

Best in class for safety and reliability.
Reliability and safety rating are the most important points in a car purchase, and my Crosstrek has been by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Good on gas, easy to handle, and comfortable to sit in (whether you are over 6' or 5'3' like my wife). The industry-leading safety ratings mean I am always comfortable driving my family, no matter how close or far we are driving. Cannot recommend Subarus enough.

Great gas mileage, handles really well on roads, and handles good on off roads.
I love my Subaru. Great gas mileage, and handles well off road. I haven't driven it off road much, but the couple of times I have driven off road, I never had to worry about bottoming out, or mud, rocks, etc. The gas pedal was a bit touchy for the first few months, but it went away the more I drove.

Heated seats, review camera, and heated side mirrors
The car is really good for winter roads and is comfortable with heated seats. The car can detect other cars on cruise control and speed up or slow down accordingly. If you are going 30 miles or less without cruise control on and the car in front of you suddenly stops it will break for you. If you turn left or right you fog light turns on to help you see better at night! It also lets you know when the car in front of you has moved. If you hit the lock button while one of the doors is open it will beep at you several times and once the door is shut it will beep once and automatically lock the car without you having to hit the button again. It's also great on gas for long commutes. I have to drive 30 mins to and from work 4 days a week. And maybe have to fill the tank twice in a two week span! It's the perfect family car!

Subaru Crosstrek durability.
I have had my vehicle roughly three years. It has been a very reliable vehicle. I have not had any major issues with it at all. It is very nice to take on long trips because it is very comfortable. I would one hundred percent purchase another Subaru in the future.

2016 subaru Crosstrek touring review!
I find the Subaru Crosstrek hybrid touring is a comfortable car that runs smooth, great in snow, great in pretty much all terrains, the roof rack helped me a great deal when I moved to another state. The vehicle made my life so much easier and the gas mile is great! It could be better if I didn't drive so fast, whoops.

My vehicle is bright blue.
My Subaru Crosstrek is my favorite car. I learned to drive in it and it was very smooth. Easy to handle and easy to maneuver. I would not pick another car other than this one because I feel very safe in it. The color is also very cute. I love electric blue. Subaru for the win!

It is a good height and can drive up almost vertical slopes.
It is a little too clunky and does not accelerate very well. I like the car a lot though and it is very reliable. Lots of room and I good car for families but is not that fitting with my current lifestyle. The car does not handle great on the highway but can accelerate up hills very well.
