I took my parents (83 & 87) shopping to replace their 2015 Edge that they feel is too big and a little too high for getting in/out. I fully planned on recommending the Crosstrek and expected pushback with it being a Subaru, but coincidentally my Mother had noticed one recently and really liked it. I was planning on also showing them the Taos, HRV, and CX30. They fell in love though after driving the Crosstrek, and I have to admit I was super impressed as well, I can see why they’re selling so well. I’ve always liked the looks, but didn’t expect the interior and driving feel to be as good as it is.
Of course they didn’t sign yet, my Mother would never make a decision without first keeping herself awake all night worrying about whether it was the right thing or they were making a huge mistake! The one we drove was a red Touring with 1200km’s that they’ll sell as a demo, so I expect they’ll be buying it in the next day or two.
