Best vehicle I ever owned

I own several American cars in the past and I'll never buy another American car again after buying this Subaru. I feel a lot safer and a lot more comfortable in the Subaru Crosstrek than I ever felt in any American car built that I ever drove

From a 3 row SUV to hatchback

I’m 6 foot 3 and always felt that I need a big car to fit me and my family. This car shocked me though! I fit wonderfully in the driver seat and my teenage son fits comfortably in the back as well. I hope this little Subaru lives up to its reputation.
