My previous Subarus had transmission issues, so I got the extended warranty on my new 2026 Crosstrek Premium. I'll review again after winter driving. I had my previous Subarus for 12 and 8 years and they never failed me and were awesome other than I guess I need to get maintenance done on tranny's by the dealership to warranty. So far I love it!
I can't find a sweet spot yet with the seat, I'll keep trying.
Head room seems closer than my impreza that I loved, but it was too low to the ground.
Goldstein was nice and fair at $31,750 and an ok trade in at $8,000 as impreza was 8 years old.…

Head light safety issue
by DebA | on 8/3/2026 3:28:13 PM
My second Crosstrek and I loved it until driving it after dark this weekend. The low beam headlights are dangerously unsafe. I live in a rural area, few street lights and some fairly twisty roads. Low beams only illuminate about 30 feet ahead and maybe 6 feet high. If a deer was on the side of the road you wouldn't see it until much too late and no way would you have tome to stop!
I can't believe this is acceptable from a safety standpoint.
High beams are better but not as good as my previous car, which by the way was also a Subaru. Not sure what to do but may think about trading after only having this car 2 months.…

Such Smooth Driving Dynamics!

First subie and absolutely love it! It just drives so smoothly with the hybrid powertrain, and I love the size and styling. Criticism of the infotainment system is way overblown. I originally planned to only own the car for a few years until the new infotainment system pushed down to the Crosstrek, but I'm now thinking of keeping it long-term.…
