The international appeal of a Subaru will tell you that it's
a great car, not just a good one. A recent review of the XV Crosstrek from
Canada, where they really need the abilities a Subaru can provide with
all-wheel drive, gives some insight into just why the Subaru Crosstrek is such
a good car.
In the end the reviewer conclude that if you want a car that behaves like and
SUV but drives like a sedan, the Crosstrek is the middle ground car for you
So who can best benefit from the Crosstrek? People that lead
lives that call for a sedan during the week and an SUV on the weekends-the
weekend warrior. If you're looking for a car that can take you more places than
an Impreza but it still conveniently sized for commuting during the week, the
XV Crosstrek is idea for your lifestyle of weekend warrior.
The roomy interior of the Crosstrek allows it to compete on
the same level with its big brother, the Forester, but has a much lower
profile. It has plenty of room in the inside so you can fit all of your gear
for a weekend of activities. There's enough room to fit five adults comfortably
in the Crosstrek along with their gear -- without smashing knees. The seats are also
very supportive, multiple passengers commented during the review, so you can
expect a comfortable ride for long distances if your adventures take you far
from home.
In terms of conventional sedan-like tendencies, the
Crosstrek is still small enough that it's easy to drive in the city and in
downtown areas as well as commuting on the highway. SUVs can be very difficult
to drive during rush hour because they're so big and since they can also be
gas-guzzlers, it can be a hassle to fill up every week for commuting back and
forth to work. Sedans are often the more practical option for commuters but
sedans don't suit everyone.
Come test drive a Crosstrek to see if it's the right car for
your work hard play hard personality if you're a weekend warrior. We think
you'll fall in love!
