Very good review. Professional quality. Thank you

I like the Subaru xv and a great informative review and videos and content on the internet

Brilliantly done professional review

The black out surround of the EU healights looks really good.

Great review and a vastly improved car. Well done Subaru :-)

Great finishing line at end.

Great review. Thankyou

I own a 70,000 mole 2012 xv. Between 62k and 70k I have replaced all 4 wheel bearing, front wishbones, front and rear struts, main drive shaft, removed plastic under trays and every brake line hangar is rotten, most metal is not rust treated and rotting. An abs heap of crap and 25mpg best.

Brilliant review! Thanks, btw actually should i go for this car if considering for a reliable suv?

They're not as tough as they make themselves out to be, and the majority of their official dealerships here in the UK don't seem to be set up for anything more strenuous than a panel smoothing or re-tune. A month after pick-up of my ex-demo Crosstrek '24, Eye Sight shut down. Turns out my front wheels are all out of alignment. Dealership blames a parking-speed impact on an alloy wheel against the corner of a low brick wall for it. Which happened three weeks prior. They can't fix it because they're worried there's "hidden damage", and they're not "Subaru Body Approved". An official dealership. Not approved to work on Subarus. They might as well be a valeting service. Compounded by the fact they didn't know what to do next - They told me to drive my safety-disabled car with "hidden damage" to another dealership "Who have the facilities we lack". Turns out after lengthy phone calls, They're not "Subaru body approved" either. My dealership promise to phone me back w a solution/where to go. They don't. So I contact Subaru UK. Who reply by email saying yes it's your fault because your dealership says so, contact your insurance company they'll have a list of Subaru Body Approved workshops. I reply w choice words lol, but also chastise them for their lousy customer service and why won't they supply me w a list of SBA workshops. Because, you guessed it, my insurance company arranges pick up w a recovery and workshop service, who my dealership then says, You're not Subaru Body Approved! You'll void all the warranties....The recovery service phones me, asking me what to do. I say , talk to the insurance company - Let them fight against Subaru to get service for my car. Thinking of getting a Subaru in the UK. or indeed in any "boutique" market in Europe? Just *don't*. If something goes wrong (and c'mon, it's a soft offroader so you're likely going to physically stress the car more, leading to a higher probability of there being a problem), you will be in trouble. It's just not worth the potential aggro.

XV in the UK is hybrid only now. Best Subaru model to get now is the Outback. A superb 2.5 NA engine. A car for everything. I know because I got one. The hybrid models are not worth the money.

Does anyone know the octane rating for the 1.6 liter XV ?

Субару супер!!

Would you choose this over the Dacia Duster? Thank you.

He sounds a bit like Tiff Needell. Would make a great presenter on Top Gear if they changed the format to a more grown up show.

Nice car.

No mention about the engine and the gearbox.

this cas is an "all wheel drive" not a "four-wheel drive". there is a difference.

Gas consumption is expensive in city driving

So annoying that CVT gearboxes are being fitted to so many cars. I haven't read a good review about them. Fitted purely for emissions and economy, never for driving pleasure. Unreliable as well. Surprised the reviewer doesn't comment about the gearbox?
