Great for young adults/college students.
Overall the car performs great. Has awesome fuel economy in the city because it is a hybrid. Only complaint is the acceleration could be better. The ev system tries to kick in at times when I need to accelerate quickly. The hatchback allows for a ton of cargo space, while remaining rather compact compared to other comparable vehicles. The reliability of the car is second to none. Only had an issue that required me to replace the start/stop battery once during my ownership. Otherwise, no other big expenses or issues that have come up during that time. Awesome car for college students and young adults that need a safe vehicle that also has exceptional fuel economy.

Awesome all around vehicle.
It has been wonderfully comfortable to drive, on and off road. Paddle shifters are fun on highway. Enough space for the outdoor activities I take part in. Does not have a GPS built in, or sunroof. Backup camera is awesome. Not super quiet road noise wise, but does not bother me any. Handles super well in the snow.

Great small SUV, great for road trips, great on gas! Very little issues!
I absolutely love this car! It is the perfect size for outdoor activities or travel but also not to big! It drives very smooth, I have barely had any issues with the vehicle and when I do my Subaru dealer has been extremely helpful! Wouldn't trade the car for another car!

The hatchback style, making it easy to store items for adventures/sleep in.
This car was originally purchased in Alaska. It is a wonderful snow, rain, all terrain vehicle. It grips the road very well and prevents sliding and hydroplaning. It is a lot bigger inside than it looks on the outside. It is hybrid, so it shuts off the engine when stopped. The gas mileage should be better.

This car is great, it's just expensive to fix.
It performs great, good mileage, only problem I have is the cost to fix the car. Since its a hybrid it costs a lot more to fix than a normal car. I drive a lot in the mountains and it works great. Gas is cheaper on this car compared to others. I love this car.

Best purchase I have ever made!
I love my Subaru Crosstrek hybrid. It is a super reliable car and I feel safe when driving it. The acceleration is fast, there are seat warmers, backup camera and bt. For an older model, I was impressed with the features of this car. I would highly recommend it for people who are love the outdoors.

Mountain trail durable and safety.
I took my Subaru up into the mountains one winter day when it was misting and it handled the trails and marsh like roads like a champ. Took us to the top with no problems at all. Never felt safer in a vehicle than I have in my Subaru. The heated seat warmers are amazing for the cold mornings and helps alleviate some back pain on those long drives.

Love my Subaru Crosstrek!
I have loved my Subaru! Everything about it. I live in a snowy area and I have always felt safe while driving in poor conditions. It has plenty of storage space and it is super cute! I have loved having a hybrid as it is saved a little on gas, and if I forget to turn a light off my battery does not die!
