Thank you for the thorough response! You hit on a number of things important to me. I'm not quite as utilitarian; I like a car to look and feel good. Small but not feeling small is one of the things I'm looking for, too. When I bought my Civic I test drove an Accord, and it felt too big.

I show the Crosstrek as only 1.1 inches wider than my Civic and 0.2 inches longer. My Civic is a manual, and I'm glad you aren't annoyed with the automatic. The turn radius looks comparable to a Civic, too. It really seems like a good fit for me, and I appreciate your experiences.
