2018 SUBARU CROSSTREK FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

2018 SUBARU CROSSTREK

The Subaru Crosstrek occupies the same space that the Subaru Forester did 15 years ago. When the Outback and Forester grew fat in middle age, the company wisely brought out the Crosstrek — a new bantamweight competitor — back in 2012. The Crosstrek is a truly compact crossover SUV, or tall wagon if we’re being completely honest.

The Crosstrek has become a favorite of people who have to haul groceries and a bit of stuff around town, as well as those who lug camping or sports equipment on the weekend. As our 2018 Crosstrek first drive review shows, this is the perfect vehicle for people who want to go (almost) anywhere, but who don’t want to drive a bulldozer every day.

Disappointed that the top of the line model does not have a power passenger seat.
