2014 SubaruXV Crosstrek Limited For Sale

The good: - Subaru Reliability, no problems at all over 40K miles. - Wonder control in poor weather thanks to the AWD. - Steering has never gone out of alignment. - Tire wear very even, still on original equipment. The acceptable: - Real world fuel economy is close to the sticker. I do mostly highway driving with approximately 26 mpg. - Interior space is good. I am 60 and I have no trouble in legroom or headroom. Rear seats are ok for my size. - Cargo room is acceptable. I very recently took a multi-day trip with myself, wife, and two year old son. Dont expect to easily fit everything if camping or hiking, youll want some external storage for that. The bad: - The transmission has a poor set up. First gear ratio is too high and final gear ratio (fifth) is too low. - Tow rating is abysmal at 2,000 lbs. Thats not really enough for anything more than just some farm chores. The awful: - The ride is ok, but easily unsettled by a passing vehicle or by following a 18-wheeler. You must stay extremely alert at higher (65+ mph) highway speeds. - The seat belts lock up much too easily and often stay locked longer than helpful as well. A major nuisance. - The entertainment system is the worst part of the car. The sound quality is very poor. The hands free system is frustrating. The menus are basic AND unintuitive. Occasionally the bluetooth fails to connect completely.

I have this car for two years and I’m very satisfied with my Crosstrek. It’s fun to drive. It’s has enough power when you need it, ALL WHEEL DRIVE standard is awesome, NO SLIPPERY ROAD that it cannot handle. Very stable car, you can feel the grip of the tires on the road. Overall I love this car! It’s got a lot of room, a combination of SUV and a car, easy to drive and does not need a lot of space to park.

Great car for the value! Very reliable and comfortable. The car sits high which is great for getting in and out of the car. Love it!
