Subaru XV
✓Basic long-term reliability in urban driving conditions and harsh weather
✓Relatively good ride comfort for a small car of its type
✓Permanent all-wheel drive (AWD) providing excellent grip on wet roads and slippery surfaces
✓Advanced safety equipment for its year: EyeSight system (adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more)
✗Recurring electrical faults that are not always easily resolved
✗High maintenance costs at authorized workshops locally
✗Fairly high fuel consumption: around 1:8-1:10 in urban sections and 1:12-1:14 on the highway
