What to check on the Crosstrek

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 116 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Engine and fuel

Power comes from the 2.0L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

Expect about 24 litres for every 300 km, going by its 7.9 L/100 km combined rating. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $122.50. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.

Money matters

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
