    REVIEW: XV Crosstrek

    Subaru XV Crosstrek lifts up the Impreza Sport
    Sep 24, 2012 1:30 PM


    Buying a Subaru is typically a very practical and logical purchase. But some Subaru purchases are more logical than others. Case in point: the XV Crosstrek.

    This new model is essentially an Impreza hatchback with more ground clearance, 8.7 inches in all. Unless you drive a lot of bad dirt roads or your biking/kayaking/hiking takes you to some really treacherous parking lots, the added ground clearance will seldom be advantageous. (It just makes things harder to put on the roof rack.) Fuel economy is lower than the Impreza, although the XV Crosstrek's gas tank is bigger. And it costs more money.
    But the XV Crosstrek has a certain bulldog-like appeal created by the raised height, contrasting rocker panel paint, and mean-looking black wheels. Unique model-specific colors like traffic cone orange ("Tangerine Orange Pearl") or desert rat beige ("Desert Khaki") help. These styling revisions all add up to a look that is almost comically rugged and gives the car a different feel from its plain-Jane roots.

    I for one, like it but I hate that orange. I like the blue, and even though they arent the WORST wheels Ive ever seen they arent that nice. I would def at least drive one for a test drive. I like the idea, and being higher up would be easier for people like my mother who find her fozzy a little on the low side for her condition.

    How many miles you have on it? Any issues? What do you like and don't like?

    Thanks @bwg3

    That's normal for Subaru motors to use a little oil from time to time.

    Our 2013 Legacy still burns oil at 11,000 miles.
