The Subaru XV Crosstrek is a great all around vehicle. It holds up well on backcountry road and on city highways. I have experienced no issues with clearance when driving backroads- car makes it over any bumps or rocks with ease. The navigation system is an added bonus and I like that the car connects with my phone to be completely hands free. It gets an average of 30mpg for me- which includes mileage from adventures. So far I've put about 50,000 miles on the car and haven't had any work done besides oil changes and tire rotations. Standard Subaru quality on this vehicle!

The quality of the vehicle is outstanding. We have driven ~15,000 miles and have had no problems - mechanical, electrical, cosmetic - whatsoever. The vehicle handles very well, and is especially impressive during winter driving. We rarely even notice snow or ice on the ground because it drives as well in the winter as in the summer. It shifts smoothly between gears, and the steering handles very well. The exterior design is smooth and sleek, and the car is fun to drive. The interior is comfortable and well designed. The A/V and GPS system works very well, and the heated seats are wonderful for cold Midwest winters. The system for monitoring the electric battery is well done and fun to watch, and it is great to see how much gas you are saving! There is plenty of room inside. We are able to travel as a family of four very comfortably, including two large car seats, a stroller packed into the trunk compartment, and gear for ourselves and two kids. The LATCH system is very easy to access, making car seat installation a breeze. Overall, this is a great car and it definitely makes me want to buy another Subaru.
