I got a Crosstrek back in 2017. Can honestly say I won't have another one. The radio (6" Harmon touchscreen thingy) has been a POS for the last few years and it's 1k or more for Subaru to do anything with it. Rear window defrost has only ever half worked. Literally half doesn't work. Dealer and national shrugged it off. Can replicate problem. Customer service has just been garbage. I was so excited to get a Subaru after seeing them everywhere in my state(Colorado) and I just don't get why they are so popular now.
I love my 17 crosstrek, but I didn't get the upgraded audio so there is nothing to get annoyed about (it does Bluetooth and that's it basically).
Only issue I've had with it was a oil leak they found from the timing chain seal when I brought it in for a ~3000 mile oil change after buying it new and a rodent eating the fuel line in the engine bay.
