My mom decided to pull the trigger on a Subaru Crosstrek Limited (without Eyesight) which she got for a decent price. I’ve done everything to persuade her to get a regular Impreza which would be a few thousand cheaper but that’s her choice. She’s getting it next month, which means I won’t be able to see it/review it until May. It also looks like I’ll have to keep the Pilot so I’ll cross my fingers gas prices don’t spike up.

I find that a lack of eyesight really aids in making the decision to buy one of those :D

I really liked the Crosstek. A lot more than the normal impreza.

Only issue I had was the lack of the power. The extra weight really slowed it down.

Im sure that isn’t a problem for a normal driver though

If I had the means at the moment I would be driving a dark blue Crosstrek. It pushes my buttons better than a regular Impreza. Probably the stance.

It probably won’t be since you rarely go fast on Long Island anyways.

It does have a good stance but I still don’t think it’s worth the money. I’d probably get a Crosstrek in Hyper Blue since they discontinued that Orange.

I think she special ordered it.

From when I was looking they only ran a little bit more than a similarly optioned Impreza. I'm with you on the color thing though, that's how I ended up test driving a blue one.

Crosstrek is best Impreza.
