We are looking a one right now with the 4 cylinder, I think that would be fine for my wife to drive around flat arse Louisiana
I've got an Outback with the 4 in flat arse Indiana - it's great. If you're going to tow (I don't) you probably want the 6, but for just driving, the 4 gets on the highway easily, cruises at 80 all day, and passes easily when you need it to.

i've had one for fifteen years and it was my La/college car and i have never had one problem. They are unbelievable automobiles. My sister has had her forester for 13 years and also has never had one problem.

We have a client who works in the service dept at Subaru. When I told him I liked how the Crosstreks looked he quickly told me not to bother with them. Overall the car is great, but the engine power is greatly lacking. They basically just took an Impreza engine and dumped it in a compact SUV. If anything, go with the Outback or Forester - and get the turbo engine. This fall I will be getting a Forester XT Touring.

I'm not too sure about the Crosstrek. We were looking at a Subaru Outback and a Toyota Highlander for the Mrs.
We ended up opting for the Highlander, but the Subaru was a nice car. I wouldn't be opposed to getting one once my car falls apart.

The Crosstrek and the Impreza are pretty close to the same size.

Close yes, but the Crosstrek is taller and heavier. Engine power is the #1 complaint against it. If they had a turbo version, I'd be all over it.

2002 Outback wagon here (owned since 2004 with 18k on the clock). Other than the head gasket on the 2.5, not a single other issue other than wear and tear. Still going strong at 193k miles and will be handing it down to my sons in a couple of years.
My brother owns a Crosstrek and loves it. My neighbors have one also. Keep in mind that I live in the land of Subarus ;)

Have no knowledge on the Crosstrek, but my son lives in WA state, 264K on his first Outback, almost 200K on his 2nd, no problems. Pretty much the only vehicle to own in you live in the Northwest or anywhere else that has snow or wet roads,

I just bought a 2017 outback during their 0% financing weekend. I bought the 3.6 touring to get the bigger engine. I really like it so far.

I test drove a Crosstrek and an Outback about 2 years ago when I was in the market. I liked the Outback waaay better. At the time (I think they've been updated) the Crosstrek's "technology" was about 5 years outdated: no display, no bluetooth, etc. As I said, I think they were scheduled to be updated for the '16 model but at the time going from the Outback to the Crosstrek felt like going from a nice car to a PoS.
