Thinking of getting a Subaru XV for the other half.

Any owners out there reccommend them?

She currently has a BMW X1 and hates driving it due to the heavy steering and lack of visibility so looking for something else.

 

I got one through my work for mother & father,

2.0 xv dse
Nice machine to drive. Diesel shows good returns on mpg approx 50mpg. Ride is firm but comfortable.

Very light steering is nice. The system we have is fitted with a backup camera as standard which is really good quality picture with guidance lines.
6 cd up front with Bluetooth.
Boot space is a little restricted due to the wheel arches being incorporated.
Dual climate control.

We had a forester beforehand which was brilliant in comparison.

 

I would keep the X1 if I were you. You XV looks awful and cheap, can't see if being worth much in a year or 2, oh and the interior is shocking. Just my honest opinion, but take 1 for a test drive and you will see what I mean.

 

I think the Xv is a cracking machines, I agree with rob 2.0 diesel if deffo a good choice ...

 

I had one for 4hrs from the dealer; it was diesel and a bit agricultural, but it grew on me over the morning. Not sure about the styling or rear visibility.
