Subaru XV reviews

A super reliable family sized hatch back. 4x4 for safer road holding and being a 1.6 means fuel economy is excellent. Reversing camera is useful as are the heated seats in winter.

Having owned number of Subarus I am happier with fuel consumption of this vehicle. Practical and very reliable. Rides well and performance is adequate. Roomy-especially for rear seat passengers.

Ideal car for 2 elderly skiers. Load space limited for big families but more than adequate for us. With rear seats folded it takes our skis and all our luggage for self catering in the Alps.The good ground clearance and snow tyres mean that we do not expect to need tyre chains, although we do carry them too. In summer driving over 50mpg is usual, dropping to 29mpg when towing a caravan. Plenty of power for that. Wide great range took a little time to adjust to but it has proved useful. We are happy so far.
