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 :)

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.

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?

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!

"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.

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

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

@@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.

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

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