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.

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.

Hybrids for great gas mileage.
I haven't had many issues with my car at all. It is reliable, comfortable too. With the hybrid system sometimes I think it has trouble shifting gears, but I am not an expert. I have driven it on road trips, takes me to work too. I get great gas mileage. Drove from Cincinnati to Chicago and back with just a little over a tank of gas.

Great car with great reliability.
No problems so far, very reliable, very comfortable and easy to clean. Only complaint is that there is no sunroof. Performance is great, no service needed in the first few years of owning it. Nice, dual front passenger air and heat controls, basically each of the people in the front seats can control their own air temperature.

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.

Subaru makes the best car for comfort and reliability.
Smooth comfortable ride, roomy, reliable, this vehicle has a small footprint but plenty of interior room. I have a vendor business and have used it to travel comfortably to many events without hesitation or problems. Fuel economy is fantastic and the motor is smooth and quiet. All wheel drive works flawlessly and I feel safe and secure even in the worst weather.

Great fuel economy and space that works perfectly in a city like Los Angeles.
This car gets amazing fuel economy in a city like Los Angeles without sacrificing on cargo space or room for passengers. Love that the cargo area has rubber mats as they do take quite the beating, but hold up well for most tasks. The only issue when it comes to reliability is the battery system. With three batteries, (two normal and 1 hybrid system), you are bound to need to replace one of the two normal ones every few years. It is a complex system that works well. Hope to reach 200k in this one.

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.

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!

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!

Subaru Crosstrek: fun to drive, but too small for big adventures.
2014 Subaru Crosstrek has been a very reliable car. It does not have the space of the outback which is very apparent when using it for activities that require gear. As a white water rafting, hiker and climber, it is just too small be a shuttle vehicle when more than one additional passenger needs to be transported. Positives, it is really easy to drive and park anywhere. It does extremely well in bad weather--snow and rain and can go just about anywhere an SUV can go. This is my third Subaru and I have loved each one--quirks and all, but I would not buy a hybrid Subaru again. Not worth the cost for the dreamed of gas savings.

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.

Satisfied and will replace with same vehicle model.
We have not had any major problems with our vehicle. We had some minor trouble replacing batteries (we haven't replaced the hybrid battery yet) as it is a hybrid and we live in a small town. We find it comfortable and fun to drive. We especially appreciate the built in garage door openers.

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.
