My family had Subarus forever, I've had a Legacy wagon, an early model Forester and my latest is a 2002 Outback with 242k miles on it.
We're going to be moving across the country, so I decided it was time to upgrade. 2019 Crosstrek Premium with 6,400 miles on it. CPO, looks brand new!

My wife bought the exact same car, and honestly it's the best car I think either of us have ever owned. I can't wait to rejoin the Subaru family myself.

Lol we share all our cars. There's a Miata, a Pathfinder, and the Crosstrek. Each one has a purpose.

It is my dream car. My only complaints are the rev hang and the clutch helper spring. They both ruin my enjoyment of the vehicle. But if you are CVT guy then by all means pick this car up. It’s the ultimate crossover. It corners like a sedan but has the ground clearance of an SUV. What’s not to love?

Personally, I prefer a manual transmission but my partner isn't that comfortable with a stick. She said she'd learn but I know it makes her uncomfortable... happy wife, happy life and all that.
So a CVT it is!

I guess if you share 1 vehicle it makes sense. If you each have your own then get what you like.

We are a one-vehicle household.

I've had my 2019 Premium 6MT for just over a year, and I have only come to love it more and more. I have the CGK, but orange was my second choice. That's a great looking car!

Hello fellow orangetrek owner!
SUNSHINE ORANGE BEST COLOR
Honestly, I never saw myself buying such a screaming bright color. Years ago when the Crosstrek was first offered in Sunshine Orange, I was talking to my sister about what a great color it was, but I didn't know if I could own one.
Well, I guess we answered that question.
My favorite is still the CGK but this is a close second and at the price I paid, I couldn't see spending $2-3k more just to get the CGK.
We originally ordered a CGK Trek . We changed our order after we saw one in Sunshine Orange and fell in love with the color . To us Sunshine just seems to fit the fun nature of a Crosstrek . Haven’t seen a Trek color I didn’t like though .
I was originally going with the black color and that wasn’t in stock at my dealer but the Orange was so I decided it was a sign and picked the orange. I was kind of regretting going with the black already because the pics of the orange ones in here were so cool and I’m glad it worked out this way.
I’ve owned one black car , I LOVE the looks of a black car but the upkeep drove me up a wall . It’s such a Critical color , every imperfection is obvious , nothing looks better then a freshly washed / waxed car though . I momentarily thought of a black Trek and my wife cautioned me about our black Mustang . I’m one of those people who are cursed with honing in on every imperfection in a cars paint job . We also have an Audi S3 in Glacier White which is a silvery white . I thought I’d be great with a white car . It has the black optic package and while I love the black trim / white car look . I’ve discovered that while it’s not as critical of imperfection’s as black . It shows every speck of dirt . Sunshine seems excellent at hiding dust etc . We had the entire front , A pillars and leading edge of the roof covered in an Xpel clear bra and so far approaching three years no chips etc ( knocking on wood ) . Good luck with your Trek I bet you will love it . If you’re on Facebook join the “ Orange Subaru Crosstrek Owners Page “
