I agree. They tend to be incredibly dorky looking, their owners love to drive 65 in the left lane, and their cars are terribly unrefined and poor to drive. I had a Crosstrek rental a few months ago and despised every minute behind the wheel.
AWD + Japanese reliability is certainly appealing in its own right. They've marketed well to the outdoorsy granola types. I can appreciate how they've conducted themselves as a business. But otherwise they seem to irk me compared to Hondas Mazdas etc.
