Hi All: I know this is a bike forum, but I just have to show off my brand new Subaru Crosstrek. I so love this vehicle! I decided that since I've been working pretty much full time since I was 19, that at the age of 53, I deserved a car with all the bells and whistles!

So, here is a picture of my lovely new car. It has GPS navigation, handsfree blue tooth, Sirius xm radio, a rearview camera, leather seats - It has it all! I feel like a Diva when I drive it!

Yep, it is a hatchback; put down the backseats and it has a pretty good size cargo area. Take off front wheel and I'm set. Also, has a roof rack so I can set that up for bike hauling too!

Oooh, you got the red ;) Congratulations! I'm on my second Impreza now, and when I went shopping last year, the Crosstrek was one of the first cars I drove. The dealer couldn't keep them in stock. It's still on my list, so I'm glad you like it. Many safe and happy miles!

Love that! And so practical and pretty.

You know what this means, now you need a Surly Crosscheck to go with the Subaru Crosstrek.

:D

Maybe when I pay it off!

Subaru is an excellent car! We have an old Forester, fourteen years old and still going strong with relatively few issues.

Love the red! Love the wheels on that too. Fun!

This is my third Subaru. Had an old sub station wagon 1990; a 2002 legacy sedan (going to sell it now); and this new 2013 crosstrek!

We just looked at a Crosstrek a few months ago. I loved the look and features...but the cargo space was too small for 3 large dogs, so we bought the 2014 Forester instead.

I like the Crosstrek wheels WAY better than ours though!

Congratulations!

I can get the bent in mine, if I take both wheels off. Think I'll look into a rack.
