Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Always liked Subaru's unpretentious image and feel rewarded for getting one. XV is an easy kind of fun to drive and beats my wife's Mazda CX5 in off road ability and also feels much better designed, driver's aimed than my previous car, VW Tiguan. I would say, it's either Suzuki Vitara or XV when buying a small capable petrol Crossover and Subaru has a bit more magic than Suzuki, at least in my book. Hugely underrated car.

How reliable do you find the car?

Good old boxer engine, well mated with best CVT on the market, decent suspension. All, failry old school (proven) Subaru gear, so I sleep well.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Rugged, no nonsense, capable off road, super smootg automatic transmission. On minus side, small boot, and a bit lethargic to start with, until you kick it down....
