Hey everyone. I recently picked up an orange XV Crosstrek. I'm new to the whole subaru thing. Have had a few toyotas, and a hand full of volvos (both AWD and FWD)in the past along with a large selection of American cars. (Went from a silverado to the subaru) I'm out between St. Cloud and Mpls. Well... I can't really think what else to say. So yeah. hi! Mike
Hello Mike, congrats on the purchase and share some pics if you have some! Welcome to MnSubaru! -Josh
Thanks. It's an limited auto with the moonroof and nav. I love this car mor than I've loved anythibg driven for quite a while. Here are a few pics I have. This one is the day I test drove it at the dealer And just for reference, this is my previous Volvo wagon. It's still in the garage and has moved to "project" status.
Did i see you @ Applebee's in Brooklyn "something" last night around 6:30pm? What is that color called?
Nope that wasn't me... I was super boring being at home. Tangerine Orange Pearl is the color name. Unless you are asked big about that Volvo pic, and in that case it's Saffron Metallic Pearl.
What's with the cross trek wheels? The car is nice looking but I'm not so sure about the wheels. Welcome to the family!
I think the Crosstrek wheels look better in real life than in pictures. I want to get a set of wheels for snow tires. Though so I'll only be seeing them part of the year.
It's stable. It corners well. It's no turbo, but it accelerates well. I think it's comfortable enough. (The seats aren't as comfortable as a Volvo or luxury car, but they are miles ahead of the wife's prius)
Welcome and excellent choice. Looks like a great utility vehicle. Would love to see one lifted with taller tires.
Welcome! Cool rig, I've always admired Crosstreks...oh and pay no attention to Ryan Failrad. He's the human equivalent of those glass balls that old people put on their lawns.
