2021 Subaru Crosstrek Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2021	The Subaru Impreza has a roomier and more comfortable rear seat than most compact hatchbacks. But in Crosstrek form the competition becomes small crossovers, and the rear seat in the Kia Seltos and some others is about equally roomy. A couple of adults should be comfortable back there. see full Subaru Crosstrek review

2021 Subaru Crosstrek Powertrain: Cons
Year	Comment
	With the 182-horsepower 2.5-liter engine, the Subaru Crosstrek Sport (along with the Limited) is significantly quicker than lesser trims, which continue on with a 152-horsepower 2.0-liter. But it still doesn't feel all that quick. Though the Kia Seltos SX has a lower power rating, 175 horsepower, it can get from a stop to 60 mph more quickly (figure about seven seconds flat vs. low eights) and feels stronger in even typical daily driving. At highway speeds, the Subaru engine drones loudly enough that it could get tiresome. Wind noise is also above average. The transmission is a CVT, which some people will mind. I was generally okay with it. The 2.5-liter engine's extra torque likely helped, as the CVT didn't have to spin the engine to high rpm and hold it there for decent performance. see full Subaru Crosstrek review

2022	4dr Hatch 152-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD	a very nice choice in a crowded segment of SUV's under $30k. What makes the Crosstrek standout is it's affordable price, excellent residual value, excellent safety ratings and Standard AWD. It is also one of the very few SUV's left available with a manual transmission. I opted for a Premium trim, 6 speed manual model. So far, I love the car. The . Manual transmision makes up for the 2.0 lack of power and torque. The car does have a few minor drawbacks... 1) The audio system is terrible in this model. 2) there aren't enough cup holders for rear passengers 3) there is no rear, center drop down arm rest 4) the instrument cluster lacks a digital speed gauge. 5) the 2.0 is not a good fit for this vehicle. Upgrade to the 2.5 if you want a better driving experience. 6) the 2.5 is not available with a manual transmission! Subaru really missed the mark here.. I would pay slightly more for the 2.5 and manual transmission combo. see full Subaru Crosstrek review
