Hi my name is Ken and Im new here. I want to ask you guys for your help, so it would be cool if people would chime into this thread. Right now Im in the market for a new car for my mother. If she is going to get a Subaru, its either a Impreza Sport Limited or a XV Crosstrek Limited. Reason being is that it has leather seats and the rails on the roof which are a must for her. Those are the two she is currently thinking about. What Im here to ask is which one would you guys buy and why? What do you like and not like about both cars and what should I look out for? Thanks for your help guys!

 

XV. it's Hawaii. Why not have more ground clearance?

 

We have a '10 Forester XT Limited (Steel Grey with Grey Leather) that we'll be putting up for sale shortly. Would she be interested in that? Lol, let me know it may be right up your alley

 

Wow didnt expect to get some replies so early. Thanks guys!

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Thanks for the offer, but I already tried asking her about the Forester. She said its too big for her just to drive to work and back.

 

xv has 3" more ground clearance but unless she plans to go offroad the sport is a better buy. lower cost and better MPG. so unless you need the added cargo room or ground clearance go with the sport

 

agreed.

 

because hopping curbs is better than playing follow the leader...rofl

 

I work at Subaru here. We currently have 1 XV limited in stock it's a white one. As for the sport limited. Iirc we don't have any but not at work so I cant check. Hit me up if u want more details. Unfortunately since those two cars are new and hard to get you won't be able to get a discount. The XV is nice and I prefer that b/c of the clearance and how u feel when u drive it. I think it would out sale foresters this year if we were able to get more in stock

 

Thanks for all the input guys. I think she is leaning towards the Impreza Sport more since she doesnt like the height of the XV for some reason. I appreciate all the opinions. Hope she picks a Subi and I hope to see you guys soon!
