Subaru Crosstrek Review: 5 Years Later - Is It Worth The Investment?

Subaru Crosstrek, is this a good car, should you buy a Crosstrek? In this first episode of "Real Car Reviews by Real Owners" we take a look at this 2018 Subaru Crosstrek to provide real owner's insights on having driven this car for almost 5 years. The aim of this video/series is not to provide you with your stereotypical car review, but rather make it more personal and give you insights from real owners who have owned their car for several years. Also forgot to include my thoughts on the interior design quality since I am a snob when it comes to that. And I gotta say, the interior of this car was very well designed, the orange accenting all throughout is eye catching and adds a nice personality to the car. This is a better looking interior than alot of cars on the road and personally I really like it. Too many car interiors look like the designers didn't put any thought or effort into making it a cool environment to be in. Luckily we are in a new era of car design and more and more car manufacturers are starting to put more effort into the design appeal of their interiors. Also regarding the cheap build quality, some of you might not consider some of the things we mentioned to be the major issues as we made them out to be, but to me they are a red flag because this car is only 5 years old, and no car should have interior pieces starting to delaminate and "decay" if you will after only 5 years. Both of us recently just sold our first cars which we had for 10 years, and neither one of them had a single issue after 10 years. The infotainment system has also been very gltichy at times and to the point once that my wife thought the car was starting to fail in regards to the infotainment. The AC controls are alittle glitchy as well and you gotta fight them sometimes when changing the fan speed or temperature. It'll revert back to previous temps or fan speeds while turning and you just gotta keep turning the dial till it finally goes to where you want it. So the fact this car already looks like its failing the test of time makes us slightly concerned for its longevity. In the end, is this a bad car, no, its not. This is a good car and one of my favorite SUVs i have ever driven, I seriously do love this car from a drivers standpoint and its utility/offroad capabilities. If you are wanting a lot of car and features at a very affordable price, then this is definitely the car for you. Just be aware of some of the cons we mentioned if buying used. I cant speak to the new year models since I have not driven one.
