The Peugeot 3008 is a fun-looking SUV with a big boot, stylish interior and decent levels of equipment, but it takes a while to get used to the quirky small steering wheel and high-up instrument cluster
Pros Stylish inside and out Big boot Efficient engines
Cons No four-wheel-drive option Entry-level diesel is slow Oddly positioned instruments
The 3008 would have to be the best Peugeot I’ve driven apart from the 308 and I was rather forlorn to hand back the keys.
Pros Bold, attractive styling HUD instrument panel/advanced graphics Comfortable, luxury interior Tech features Dynamic handling Large panoramic roof Powered tailgate
Cons Flat topped steering wheel No powered seats
The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek is all-new for 2018. It rides on a new chassis, gets an upgraded version of the previous engine, and features a more refined cabin design with additional features.
Pros Precisely tuned suspension delivers sharp handling and a comfortable ride quality Spacious interior for a hatchback of its size Offers optional safety features not typically found in the class High ground clearance for enhanced off-road capability
CONS Lower EPA mileage numbers compared to other cars in its class Slow acceleration on the highway
The 2018 Subaru Crosstrek ranked #8 in Subcompact SUVs. Currently the Subaru Crosstrek has a score of 7.8 out of 10 which is based on our evaluation of 27 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros Exceptional rear-seat space for the class Generous cargo room Quiet and fuel-efficient CVT Athletic handling
Cons Slow to accelerate Terrible gas mileage with manual transmission
The Crosstrek’s standard all-wheel drive and 8.7 inches of ground clearance set the stage for adventure. Acceleration is unhurried from a 152-hp 2.0-liter flat-four paired with either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic.
Pros Adventurous aesthetic, solid road manners, genuine off-pavement potential.
Cons Slow and unrefined powertrain, uninspired interior, questionable value.
