2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek POV Drive and Review /// 120k miles!

Coming out of reviewing a 2021 Crosstrek Sport and back into our 2013 XV Crosstrek, the differences are big but the original formula hasn’t changed. Sure SUV’s and crossovers are taking over but if you want something that does it all, and isn’t too large, the Crosstrek still is perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet: Under the hood is the FA20 2.0L Flat 4 cylinder paired to Subaru’s Symmetrical AWD system. It makes a low 148HP paired an early Subaru CVT. Ours has over 120k miles on the clock. 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From new 2013 this car has always been a great hauler and daily. The size and looks were just right and I remember the Desert Khaki paint used to attract loads of attention back then. Compared to the 2021 model, sure it is louder inside, has less tech, is slower, and less refined, but there is a raw Subaruness of good build quality all around and simplicity that just can’t be replicated. Used, they may still be underpowered but you can’t help but fall in love with these things.

You are indeed right about the resale value of Crosstreks. I had a '16 Limited (still the first generation) and I was able to trade it in for a '19 Premium for not much out of the pocket. By that time, I had about 42,000 miles on it. The second generation Crosstrek is another kind of animal....much tighter (all-new chassis), better ride, and better handling. I actually preferred the cloth seats of the '19 Premium. By the way, the khaki color is still eye-catching.

I just bought an orange 2014: this is the most practical vehicle (outside of maybe a Ridgeline or a minivan) for an unbelievable price. Crosstreks are tremendously underrated.

[@sleeprene]

3 months later, how does it hold up? I keep hearing mixed things about the CVT. The only thing that’s holding back from getting a used crosstrek.

[@jgbecker24]

@@sleeprene Haven't had an issue. I've put about 5k more miles on it (bought it at 149k, now have a little over 155k) and it's great for what it is.

[@sleeprene]

@@jgbecker24good to know, thanks!!

[@The9meister]

I have a 6 speed manual, it goes fine for what it is, 2 ltr flat four, has been off road often, and does it like a Subaru.

[@thefilmguy]

I know this is a old video but I think it's cool that you can still get the Crosstrek in 2023 in the Desert Khaki color on the Premium trim with a $600 option package.

I just bought a 2013 Crosstrek in Ontario Canada in an estate sale with only 65,000 km (40,300 miles) for only $11,500 Canadian. It'll be a second vehicle not counting my 2008 Chevy Tahoe 4 X 4 I use in the winter only when the roads are bad and for towing my boat and utility trailer. The all wheel drive will be great for snow conditions. It's in mint condition so I should have it for a very long time.

[@mugweruwanji2904]

Jeez. I'm in Ontario too, if you ever come across such a sale please hit me up. Seems like you got a great deal

[@alibabaschultz352]

Good luck. These vehicles have a million issues.

[@Beans577]

Mine has been great it has 80k on it. I put a trailer hitch on it and it pulls my 6 foot trailer perfectly

MY CAR

[@ArildOlsen-lp8op]

Have that car with 2 l diesel engine and 6 speed manual. I dont touch the gas pedal on steep rough roads, it drives and regulate the gas automatic.

[@Orvillerede100]

Good video What camera do you use?

[@PV03SORIN]

Une question mes amis - Subaru xv diesel est fiable 2.0 150cv?

[@Teddydruu]

Hello, I went an test drove 2013 crosstreck XV. It has a moon roof and the interior and exterior are beautiful. It has 78k miles and I’m wondering if you think 16k is a good price for one in 2023? Thank you

[@Allcarnews]

Honestly not bad. This 2013 we have now has over 160k miles on it! Only thing needing replacement is the struts.

[@CornPopSniffin]

I have a 2013. It has different gauges.a compass on the mirror and no moon roof.i get over 30 to the gallon with just over 150k.

[@Allcarnews]

Nice! We have 140k miles now and get around 27 highway but city isn’t the best. This is a premium pack 2013.

[@Larrysmith-qw9ts]

Thanks. I am thinking about getting one. a 13 or a 14 depending on price.

[@j.rjunior5584]

What's the price?

[@Larrysmith-qw9ts]

@@j.rjunior5584 under 10.000

[@hybridsky3938]

I test drove a 2013 today and the steering felt a little stiff. Also the ABS, traction control, and hill assist lights came on. Thoughts?

[@Allcarnews]

Steering is stiff… which is why people love them. It feels solid. Those trio usually indicate an issue with missfiring or a transmission issue

[@Urweeklyamigo]

For an 10 year old car its pretty good

[@lunchonthehood5675]

Man, this car is 10 yrs old now?! I remember my friend buying one new and it seemed just like yesterday. We were both 21 yrs old at the time… I guess old geezers are right when they say time flies!

[@the68thplayer16]

It's a good car what more could you want there's so much you can do to this beauty always recommend a Subaru

[@swainzyfn5311]

Does the 2013 model have a reverse camera?

[@Allcarnews]

no

[@lmick3257]

Yes mine has one and it works .

[@chrisschabowski3583]

That’s a fb20 not fa20

[@Beansforlife410]

I have the same car. 94,000 miles

[@Allcarnews]

Congrats!

[@serge3463]

The only problem I have with it is that the gas paddle is far to the right and it’s making my knees hurt. I basically have to bend my knee certain way to drive😢 but other then that it’s a reliable car

[@eduardoflores1631]

Stupid complaint

[@williamlong2682]

Didn’t even vape while taking it down a dirt road to a trailhead. And no doggo in the back seat?! Dislike👎🏻

[@Allcarnews]

😂

I'm buying my brother's 2015 Crosstrek XV 5-speed manual 67000 miles for 11k and its orange.

[@Allcarnews]

@@ChipsA17 Congrats! The orange & khaki ones were eye catchers when they came out.

[@ChipsA17]

@@Allcarnews I'm just glad it's a 5 speed manual. I really don't know how I feel about the cvt. All in all the 2.0 is a reliable engine and Subarus last.
