My second Crosstrek and I loved it until driving it after dark this weekend. The low beam headlights are dangerously unsafe. I live in a rural area, few street lights and some fairly twisty roads. Low beams only illuminate about 30 feet ahead and maybe 6 feet high. If a deer was on the side of the road you wouldn't see it until much too late and no way would you have tome to stop!
I can't believe this is acceptable from a safety standpoint.
High beams are better but not as good as my previous car, which by the way was also a Subaru. Not sure what to do but may think about trading after only having this car 2 months.…

Love my Crosstrek

Fell in love with this car immediately on the test drive. Rock solid, great handling and simply love the design and look of it. After one year I am averaging 33-34 mpg and have driven it in all kinds of weather including snow and ice. Subaru AWD works flawlessly. Much better than Kia AWD that I traded. This one is a long term keeper.…
