* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.
- Reliability (4)Subaru generally has a good reputation for reliability, and the Crosstrek is no exception. Common issues are relatively minor.
- Maintenance (4)Routine maintenance is straightforward. Parts are generally available, and Subaru dealerships are widespread. Some specific Subaru maintenance items might be more costly than average.
- Technology (3)The infotainment system is functional but dated by modern standards. Lacks advanced features found in newer competitors, though Apple CarPlay/Android Auto were available on some trims.
- Comfort (3)Seats are reasonably supportive for shorter trips, but can become less comfortable on longer journeys. Cabin noise is noticeable at highway speeds.
- Dynamics (3)Adequate for daily driving, but acceleration can feel sluggish, especially when loaded. Handling is competent and stable, with a decent ride height for light off-roading.
