2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek consumer reviews

Even though the car lacks power I find the 5 speed still makes the car fun to drive I do not believe I would find the automatic shift car as much fun. Subaru would be nice to offer the 2.5 Liter turbo as in the WRX STI then they would have something sporty looking and fun.

THIS CAR HAS DEVELOPED TOO MANY PROBLEMS; TWO ARE RELATED TO THE A/C SYSTEM; OTHERS ARE RELATED TO WHEEL BEARINGS, AND AXLES. THE VEHICLE MAKES "POPPING NOISES" IN THE DASHBOARD. IN ADDITION, THE REAR HATCH DOESN'T GO UP ANYMORE WITHOUT HELP, AND THE EXTERIOR MIRRORS MOVE AROUND INSIDE THEIR FRAMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.

The car is very safe and comfortable. If you drive the car, you can feel stable, Even though the car is a wagon car, I can feel getting on SUV like CR-V. In particular, when it snows, the car is the best car that I guarantee.

I love this car because it gets great gas mileage while not feeling totally gutless. It?s also great for mild off-roading and very smooth on the street. The flat engine design makes for a sporty driving experience as well because of the low center of gravity. Reminds me of my WRX but with softer suspension and less power. In my opinion Subaru did a very good job of including the right options to keep the car cheap but satisfying.

The Subaru Crosstrek is an outstanding vehicle for the price. It has quite a bit of ground clearance, lots of interior room, and good cargo capacity. I've taken my car off-road numerous times with no issues. It's a good half way point between a truck/SUV/Jeep and car. With good gas mileage and good off-road ability it's a win-win. Only issue with this car is the lack of power from the 2.0L boxer engine, but it isn't really noticeable during regular driving.

The car is comfortable and feels solid and reliable. I?m pleased with the headroom, and with the seats. My daughter appreciates the legroom in the back. There?s a fair amount of road noise, but it doesn?t bother me.

After test driving a variety of small SUVs from both domestic & foreign manufacturers, the SUBARU XV CROSSTREK was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built and, most importantly, extremely reliable. It?s just the right size and has all the options & technology for my needs. I am averaging 26.8 mpg. If you're looking for a small SUV, I recommend giving this or any other SUBARU a test drive.

This car is great. It handles well, it looks sexy as all get out, it's comfortable, and it has plenty of room for anything I need to lug around. The only issue is the screen when listening to music via Bluetooth. It only displays the information of the first song you listen to. That same info stays on the screen until you turn the car off.

Overall, I can say that I feel much safer riding in my new Subaru. I am not sold on the exterior 'look' of the vehicle, but that is small price to pay for a car that amazing otherwise. The interior, performance and value for the car exceeds my expectations.

This is a great family vehicle, plenty of room, and great gas mileage. Also have never gotten stuck in the snow, has great AWD.
