Subaru XV: Is it a good car?
Depending on what you want in a car, then the Subaru XV can certainly be a good car. If you're after a jaw-droppingly glamorous supercar that can do 0-100km/h in 2.0 secs and top out at 400km/h then you're in for bitter disappointment. If you're after a well-equipped, quirky premium small crossover SUV then the XV is going to be your jam. Highly practical, fairly cheap to run, easy to drive and not offensively priced the Subaru XV is a great suburban runabout or highway mile-eater.
