Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 69 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

It is rated 7.9 L/100 km combined: about 24 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $122.50 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,250 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Crosstrek

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. Its all-wheel drive suits winter roads and trips to ski country.

Space, size and seats

As a compact SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Crosstrek for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Choosing the right one

Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

What it costs to run

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
