I too had heard about the "sluggish" Crosstrek and was concerned about when we test drove the vehicle. It wasn't like my turbo A-4 but I felt it was not as bad as my expectations were. We also test drove the Forester, which had more pep, but it the vehicle is just too large for my wife and I. We went with the Crosstrek and are not disappointed. We took a 900 mile road trip this summer and the Crosstrek got us on the highway with ease. While the Crosstrek does not need wings, at 38.1 MPG over 900 miles of varied driving, I'll take it!
