![]() The orange stitching on the seats give the interior a little style the navigation is bright and clear and the moonroof keeps it feeling open and airy inside and the interior is overall logical. It makes me feel happy to walk up to it in the parking lot because it is really cute, and the interior is also attractive. Mine is crystal white with black leather interior and I love the appearance. ![]() The car is very new for me, and I've driven only about 250 miles so far, but so far I am happy because the car is both capable and has some personality. C'mon Subaru, fix this so I can make this my NEXT car too, cuz I won't sign up again if the paint is the same. Tons of little nicks and chips, and now I understand a paint job is around $5k, not $2k like I originally thought, so that's out. UPDATE 10-12-18, ~ 35,000 MILES: Still love the car, still hate the paint-and the paint is getting worse over time. (Bought it April 24, 2017, the field for the year below isn't working on my iPad) I can see a professional paint job in its future. Not a happy camper.especially since I'm someone who keeps a car for over 200,000 miles. Very glad I sprung for the hood and door edge protective coating, only wish the entire car could have bee not wrapped in that stuff. I have just over 9,000 miles and have had it about 5 1/2 months, and drive mostly on paved roads. Will see in 100,000 miles what it does but my hyper blue gives me faith it will last along time Crosstrek handles well, gets great gas mileage, is very comfortable to drive and ride in, and I love the blind side assist and the back up camera - but Subaru went CHEAP on the paint! Ugh! I keep my car clean and hand wax it for protection and there is chipped paint all over the place. Funny even the negative reviews all say it is a great car LOL. I have never cared enough to write a car review,but the little beastie deserves some praise with all negatives I have read. It isn't my truck but enjoy driving it just the same and to be honest,I enjoy driving this a hell of a lot more than our mustang. Just be advised on rainy days eyesight doesn't work and neither does that navigation LOL but works on my cell so I don't care. Overall the car is a simple build, interior is basic but I think it will last and the orange stitching is a nice touch. I have driven a lot of 4 cylinders that did a lot worse over the years. In VA I see a lot of crosstreks, not so many in NC but the ones in VA are mostly in the fast lane :) While this isn't the mustang it does what it should and it's fine for me. Getting on to highways is slow and so is passing but once your up to speed I had no issues up to 80 and the RPMS were at 2500. While at a street light, eyesight saw the car in front on me move and told me to get me moving :) I hate 4 cylinder cars,this one I love it and wish I could afford two! There are tons of complaints on pick up and RPMS, In town I have no issues, the little beastie gets to 35 quick and then kind of lags a little. The car slowed, got to distance and then picked up speed to where it was set. The eyesight is amazing, while on cruise control a car cut me off,it is what those people from VA do. Bumps and pot holes are not bad, suspension handles it without breaking your jaw, road noise, yeah a little high but I drive a diesel so no issues and have no problem talking to my wife. Driving and steering is great, easy no effort and smooth. Best sound system I have ever had stocked. Radio gets some complaints,mine is great. After the trip this is what I have determined. This is my wife's primary and now I drive her mustang giving my truck a break. Drove it for a weekend on a trip put 500 miles on it and love it. After a month drove it again looking for these things and finally bought one with all the trims for 3K under MSRP. I did a lot of research after on the car after I test drove it and heard the complaints,cheaply made, slow, crapy stereo nd road noise. I like the feel and suspension, it seamed healthy, stout and something more than it was. I watched videos of the car in snow and dirt and it sold me and I went out and test drove it. ![]() I did a lot of research and came across the crosstrek. The thought of looking for small and economic wasn't something I was thrilled about. I travel for business a lot and have driven ever 4 cylinder rentals for years and have hated them. Over the last 20 years I have owned a jeep, F250 diesel, an expedition and a ford mustang.I prefer driving from more of a siting position in a jeep / truck than laying down like in a mustang and like a good view I get with my truck. I wanted a small economy car with something extra. ![]()
