Me and my girl just threw down on the same year/model/color. Pkg #24 the sound system is insane. 8" ground clearance with symmetrical 4 wheel drive in Si mode... Can hit the dips and grip like a Porche at the same time. We love this lil beast. With pkg 24 came to 31k after state n such.
Just checked the H/K system over the weekend and it's just not that good. Smooth but thin as I've ever heard. Definitely a tea time easy listening experience. Not good for most music
@@t.j.bennett6454 Thanks for that info! As I was looking for a Subie, I was interested in the good audio and figured the H/K would be better. Of course now I may wait for the 2.5 Sport, and also who knows what's going to happen with the economy and car prices anyway, so the audio is probably the least of my issues!
Hey Ben--excellent review, thank you. I appreciate how concise you are as reviews that go 25-30 minutes are, well, a bit longish! In any event, you think there's a chance you can pick up a 2021 Crosstrek Limited that will come with the 2.5L engine from the Forester when it hits the lots? I am leaning Forester just because the extra room would be nice, but certainly the Forester wins on style points (although I don't think the Forester is bad looking by any means), and I might change my mind once I drive the 2.5L Forester late summer/early fall (whenever it gets here). A 30 hp jump should really help!
Idk, but I feel like you would have way more subscribers if you didn't talk so fast. You seem to talk like the commercials when they get to the disclaimers.
Wanted a phev one but the electric range was a joke and battery taking up the already tiny trunk space made it even less desirable. Then thought about the gas version but the trunk is still too small.
I just wish we could get some 15” wheels out of the factory, those massive wheels just look weird too me and the 17”’s on the 2018 were even too big for me! lol
The color reminds me of a car my father had, I believe it was called baby blue or powder blue. Definitely not my favorite color, not sure why they call it khaki
Just :56 sec in and you're talking so fast your words are slurring and I'm not sure I'll be able to hang on throughout the entire video....just thought you'd like to know.
It might have lower hp, but the AWD system and handling outshine civic and definitely corolla. I've driven all 3 recently, and the Crosstrek is better. The civic isn't far behind.. but the corolla doesn't even compare to the other 2, at the same price point.

I looooove this color
MY FAVORITE COLOR IN THIS MODEL👌🏼
I'm waiting for the 2.5l engine!
I've been wondering what they look like inside. Better than I thought. They have stepped up there game. Good info as well.
Mike W thank you!
Does it have apple CarPlay?
Looks like that is the Rockford Fosgate audio, not the Harmon/Kardon audio as described.

is there lumbar support and garage door switches by the map lights?
Why does every model have to have the orange stitching? It would be so perfect without it lol
I hate that stop/start engine feature. You can turn it off but it defaults to "on" each time at start up. No thanks.
It does the same on my Audi. I just turn it off first thing when I get in the car.
Great car for Boston.... cool and thank you dude.
No mention bout the hand brake
What is the colour called?
What’s the name of this color?
12:40, who else thought the mountains were fake?
Biggest issue with the C/T is NO A/C vent for the rear passenger area- My dog doesn't approve...

Jmaninaz1 I will for sure review that!

You review Volvos?
1aikane soon

Wait until next year. 2.5 l engine
Dave Goldstein that’ll be fun
Similar to Lexus? Which lexus? Lexus rx?
Great as always!
Tyler thank you!
Name of color?

Should feel/drive a lot better once it has the 30hp increase on the new models
Getting mine this Saturday! Great review 😬
Debbie Brzozowski congrats!!
Ben Hardy thanks! Do you happen to have any videos on Starlink?
Debbie Brzozowski not right now
I don't care for the orange stitching either; I think they want to make sure that no one over 40 years of age buys this car.
20 years old buying one 😂
The color reminds me of a car my father had, I believe it was called baby blue or powder blue. Definitely not my favorite color, not sure why they call it khaki
Edward Conner I know sure either lol
An ad full of ads🙄
He never mentioned the Apple or Android play.
Best car ever!! If anyone is considering purchasing a crosstrek, watch the first car video on my channel!
Nice colour
Mubiru Denis I agree

Still a CVT. Disappointing.
Hans Bester I will never buy a vehicle with CVT
Surprisingly low hp.. the Civic and Corolla even have more than this 🤷♂️

what no power lift gate !!!!! that is a no go for me
inland85 anyone know if the 2021 will have the auto tailgate lift?
That blue is ugly! The Crosstrek was to small for our needs so we bought a Forester.
