The XV Crosstrek is a wonderful little car. Keyword being little. This is a great vehicle for a single guy or couple without kids. With kids, you'd have some struggles with space, especially is packing for a trip. The cars fit and finish is very respectable, especially with the leather trim and factory navigation system. The navigation system was nice but I found myself using my phone as the system was slow and no matter what settings I had programmed it always seemed to take me on some crazy detour or tried to bring me through a way I couldn't. Near my house is a split in the highway, however getting on the highway from my entrance ramp it wanted you to take the first exit. However that's not possible, there is a giant cement median that's been there my whole life. I felt the vehicle to be slightly underpowered, especially if you have it loaded up with gear or in my case a mountain bike on the roof. Was fun to drive otherwise. Overall, I would get another one if my needs for a vehicle changed. I just felt it was a little too small and it really didn't have that fun factor. You'd put your foot down into it and just lacked that get up and go, or wow factor.
