    I bought a 2014 XV CrossTrek used last year and so far I love it. I was looking for a manual but honestly, the CVT (this is my 1st) doesn't really bother me that much. (I was replacing my aging 2003 Honda CR-V). Wife does complain about the road noise but personally I like the way that it sounds. Very good review btw. You well deserve more views :)

    I currently have a 2013 crosstrek and I have the same exact opinions, good and bad. I feel like the CVT could be a bit more refined too. Sometimes it revs really high, other times it revs right where I feel like it should. Overall it's been a great vehicle with a couple of drawbacks. Anyway, thought I'd share too I guess lol, great review as always!

      Yes, I had the same experience with the CVT in my 2014. Thanks for the positive feedback!

      Do you think I should buy a 2013 xv crosstrek for 12 000$ and 150 000 km on it?

    That car is the reason I own a Tacoma. Really liked it considered buying one. Then I read about the oil consumption lawsuit. Subaru absolutely screwed over those people. And boxer engines are junk. But good review Thanks.

    "Looks" are more important for some, but we got a Crosstrek because of the height- the 8" clearance, compared to comparable Nissan or Honda vehicles. It goes through deeper snow if one lives in the mountains like we do. Yeah, it's a little noisier than some heavier vehicles, but it gets great mileage, especially if going fast isn't paramount. It's absolutely somewhat under-powered as a tradeoff for the great MPG it gets. The Crosstrek is my wife's ride, and she mentions the noise, especially on rocky mountain roads. I drive a Tacoma, and never turn on music or other peripheral noise, but rather enjoy the sound and feel of a vehicle (I drove old Brit convertibles like Triumphs and Austin Healeys when I was young, so the car IS the tune I want to hear while driving). Having winter tires will lower mileage a bit and adds to road noise, but it still averages over 32 MPG and is great in the snow (up to almost a foot). The dash is indeed soft plastic, and owning the second one now, there's an annoying rattle from underneath the right side of the dash top. I don't know what works loose, but it has on both cars. It doesn't get worse, but it's there. It's a UTILITY vehicle, and does a great job at it's intended purpose.

    Subarus are pretty rare in my country, just last week while getting out of work I saw a weird card parked outside. I had to look twice, it was an Impreza. I cannot comment on much else but its simple, somehow station wagon style looks made it stound out. I like it, it seems perhaps more simple and sincere than other cars

      Subaru's are very popular where I live. People love the simplicity, reliability and great handling!

    Looking at a 2013 XV it has 236k on it any thing should look out for both on engine and the cvt?

    I was looking to buy a used 2015 but I heard they have transmission issues. Not sure if I should get one now.

    This looks like a more true to form successor to the real wagon outback’s

    • @skesby

      You cant compare a XV to the Outback. XV is a Mid size, Outback is a large.

    • @RidgeRunner4501
      @RidgeRunner4501 3 года назад

      @@skesby I’m comparing it to the 1st - 3rd gen Outback’s, back when they where just wagons and not SUVs like the modern ones.

    The impreza and crosstrek share the same blocky rear tail lights in the first gen. Crosstrek - extinct impreza outback sport!

    does this one have a rear back up sensor? does it beep when you get close to something to help you park?

    • @DrivenCompanion

      This one doesn't and I don't believe the crosstrek offers this feature but its possible the newer ones do.
