Having said all that, in my opinion hauling a car on a trailer is the least desirable of all the possible options for towing a car.

It's all up to you, but if I were in your shoes I'd ditch the Crosstrek and find something you can tow 4-down.
BEST advice on this thread, by far. Bottom line, as a class A owner with a lot of miles and years of RVing, there is now way, no how, that I would ever plague myself with a car trailer. If you can't tow your Subaru with four wheels down, find something that you can. A car trailer will be nothing but a giant PITA, and don't try to convince yourself otherwise.
