VW's are terrible. You'll be much happier. As much as you drive A Toyota, Honda, or Subaru are much better suited for your lifestyle. I own Toyota's and have never been let down by them one of them even has over 500,000 miles and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across country. Congrats on the purchase brother!
Agreed. I currently drive a beetle and corolla. Corolla is boring but dependable. Beetle is cool and fun to drive but breaks every 2-3,000 miles. Very expensive to repair.
Congratulations Jay! You will never regret owning a Subaru! We have owned nothing but Foresters since 2009, and we are a road trip couple. We've never sold or traded one in with less than 215,000 miles. 2 sons in the military and multiple road trips to FL and other vacays per year. Never a problem. Never broken down, never let us down in bad weather(we live in N Ohio). Welcome to the Subie Family! Now, for the sake of Subaru tradition, you must bestow a fitting name upon your new ride! So happy for you!!
Hey Jay, congrats on the new car. One of the traditions to do is to put spare change all on the floors of it for good luck. May this car be good & protect you. My grandfather also wisely said to me, if you change the oil every 3000 miles…..the car will last you a lifetime.
This is such awesome news Jay! Congratulations brother on the purchase of a new Subaru. You definitely won’t regret it. Both of my cousins have been driving Subaru’s for several years without regret. They absolutely love driving them. Enjoy! Beautiful hatchback and beautiful interior.
Happy New Year to you and Cris the Girl! Congrats on the new wheels! I am looking forward to seeing many road trip videos with your new car, especially roadside attractions and abandoned places.
Way too funny. My daughter just test drove the Crosstrek and she fell in love with it...she's thinking.. congrats to you Tampa Jay. You bought a very reliable car . Good for you. I bought my first new car when I was 62. Glad you didn't wait that long. Happy for you.
Congratulations Jay! Your first new car is a huge milestone and quite an accomplishment. You should be proud of yourself!!! Subaru is a fantastic brand of car; you should have lots of luck with it. It’s also cool that it has the same roots as you to Indiana. I’m looking forward to seeing the many adventures that it will bring you!!
Congratulations Tampa Jay. Hope you get millions of miles on your new car! Looking forward to seeing more videos. You deserve it. “ Much Ahead’ 2024. Happy New Year too you and Cris.
Around 10 years ago, I totaled my 2007 Ford Focus. My insurance covered a rental until I could get another car and it was a Subaru Crosstrek. I love those! Great choice my friend!
Congratulations!!! An excellent choice! Those will last! Nothing better than being the first owner of a vehicle. I wish you happy motoring and memories for many, many years.
Jay, way back, when our kids were young, we had an old 1999 Forester. I'm convinced it saved our kids' lives during an accident. That low Boxer engine provides a lower center of gravity and they've got added steel supports in the rear doors most manufacturers do not provide. if you ask me, good choice.
💖 dear Jay, my family, we truly love watching you~ Thank you for All that you do and bringing the joy and videos you share with us all. You are a very Kind and Special person and everyone loves you♥ Thank you, Jay!!♥
Nice car, Jay! I got my first brand new car just over a year ago. It took me a while to figure out all the features in it too. I do use lane assist now. I didn't like it to begin with, but I had to learn how best to use it. It's a pleasure to drive as I am sure your Crosstrek is. Much ahead!
Oh wow cool car dude I've been looking my self and iam going today to look at the same one thanks for you time and congrats on you new Car 😊😊😊😊😊 and thanks for the video kee up the good work thanks again.
Made 25 miles away from this Hoosier. I have a lot of family and friends who own Subaru cars and all of them love their cars. Congratulations, Hoosier Jay.
Subarus are a pretty good choice. I hear after a while the head gaskets go out but that’s probably not an issue with the new cars…it’s a beautiful car my friend! Congratulations! And there’s much ahead for you guys. Keep up the amazing work and keep on rocking!
Cool! I have a Subaru Crosstrek! You're going to to love it. The first thing I did with mine is take it on a Route 66 Adventure and it was the perfect vehicle to take through the the deserts and the mountains! Have fun with it!
Congratulations y’all beautiful cross trek !! We also just got a new car we went with another Honda accord hybrid as my 2021 accord hybrid got totaled by a deer that ran out in front of us on the highway going 70 mph. We do a lot of driving also and already had almost 80,000 trouble free miles on the old one. They will get around 45-52 miles per gallon which is awesome considering how much gas is.
Subarus are fantastic I had 2005 I bought in 2014 and had it for 7 years when I sold it it had 270 miles on it and I really just did regular Maintence. Best of luck with it!
Jay, I am a GMC truck guy myself but I inherited an 03 Subaru Outback with a 135K miles on it. Air blows ice cold, runs good and beats the hell out of my GMC on fuel cost. I was spending about $600 a month just on fuel for the truck. I spend less than a 100 a month on fuel when I drive the outback. Congrats on the purchase and can't wait to see what new adventures 2024 brings.
Congratulations on your new Subaru Crosstrek! Wishing you many years of adventures ahead with your new car! You work hard and deserve to enjoy a car that’s safe, reliable and fun! Ps love the guitar/song intro👍
You’ll love your new Subaru in the years to come. We’re driving our second Outback which is a Wilderness version and it’s fantastic. Have fun on the road!!!
Jay I am so happy for you. I know I mentioned the Kia Sportage because my daughter has one. But you made an excellent choice. I love Subaru vehicles. I have always wanted one myself. I need a new truck right now myself. But trucks are still too high for me right now. So I'm still driving my 1998 Ford F150. Hopefully I can get one this year sometime. Congrats bro you did real good.
I'm a Car Dude...Always a fan of the VW Golf because its a Hatchback!...I would never own a VW due to always having to deal w/ Mechanical stuff etc...Hahaha! Congrats on the Subaru!....Hopefully these newer Subarus arent as bad as the older Subarus!
Congratulations. Very nice and your insurance probably isn't bad on a Subaru. Those are very safe vehicles. I'm in the market for a new car this year. I may have to check out the crosstrek. We have had kias for years and have had good luck with those so I'm not sure what we will end up with, but I like this one.
Tampa Jay, My mom about a year & 1/2 ago, mom got a 2019 Subaru Forrester….has a CD player & has all the bells & whistles like your new cross track. She commutes to work from here in Norwalk CT to Tarrytown (Westchester County) NY. It has done her well & she loves it!
Congrats on your new ride! Very nice! I just bought a new mustang since mine I've had forever, 17 years was totaled. The color is similar to yours and also has black rims, pretty neat. 😁😊❤️
A new vehicle is only as dependable as the maintenance that's done on time by the owner. Obviously your VW was purchased as a used one. It may have been abused by it's previous owner. Good luck with your Subaru! BTW, I own a 2019 VW Arteon which is built in Germany. Wonderful car!
Great decision my friend. I owned one and it was very dependable. Hard to beat what you bought. I’m seeing being a UA-camr I use my car a lot. We moved to Virginia since I retired and we have a bucket load of content here based on what we do most. Have a blessed day and enjoy that new ride my friend. ❤
Tampa Jay- congrats on the new beautiful car!! I had a New VW Beetle (1999)….every 10k miles, I would get an oil change and have to buy a new hubcap…they always fell off the wheels, the driver side and passenger windows would fall inside the doors (plastic part melted ), it over- heated, new battery every year, spent all my vacation days at the auto repair….and, the coffee holder was in the back ….i relate to your story!!
Oh my goodness….! Your awesome song! I can see Adam Sandler getting together with you, singing his own “Piece of Sh*t Car” song 🤣👍💜 Congrats on the car but sorry you had a VW previously.
Nice Brother! Congrats! I’m a truck guy myself,but if I were going to buy a car, it would be that one. Get you some Weathertech floor liners for that thing. They’re the bomb. 🤘😎

I got a new 2022 Subaru at 35 too! Sold my vw too but Tesla is my next car
I got the Subaru crosstrek sport for 2.29%
I love we are so much the same I may be moving to Florida from Colorado soon too !
the head gaskets go/malfunction in those and congratulations
Congrats on the new subbie! We are on our 3rd Subaru. You will love it!
Thank you so much! So far loving it
That intro was freaking awesome!!! You need to do more intros like this ❤😂😂👏👏👏
Thanks my friend
Bravo! It's good to know you have a vehicle you can count on for all your fantastic Florida explorations!
Congrats buddy! Glad you have a more reliable car now that you don’t have to stress over!
Thanks buddy! It’s been a long stressful road happy to put it to rest
That was a great choice. You will love it. Thank you so much for all the videos.😊
VW's are terrible. You'll be much happier. As much as you drive A Toyota, Honda, or Subaru are much better suited for your lifestyle. I own Toyota's and have never been let down by them one of them even has over 500,000 miles and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across country. Congrats on the purchase brother!
I 100% agree with you. I had a manual Golf GTI and that thing was fun to rip around in it. I’ve only had Toyotas now though and swear by them.
I agree
Hey My hubs and I drive volkswagons!! Yeah not next time around but not too bad with repairs. ANY European car is expensive to maintain.
Agreed. I currently drive a beetle and corolla. Corolla is boring but dependable. Beetle is cool and fun to drive but breaks every 2-3,000 miles. Very expensive to repair.
Toyotas are the real deal. Hondas and Subarus are overrated, no better than a VW.
Congrats on the new car 🚗💨 praying for safe travels and protection for you and Cris in your day to day and on vlogging outings.
Congratulations, Tampa Jay 🙂

Nice wheels Jay! Congrats! I look forward to many new videos with appearances by your new car.

Congratulations Jay, the " shade thing " at 15:00 hides whatever you have in the back. Prevents anyone from looking in to see what's inside.
Tonneau covers also help with the 'WHOMP WHOMP' noise that happens when you open all the windows at speed.
Happy New Year to you and Cris the Girl! Congrats on the new wheels! I am looking forward to seeing many road trip videos with your new car, especially roadside attractions and abandoned places.
Congrats on the new ride🎉 looking for some awesome wheel time along the Florida highways and by ways.😎🇺🇸🤓👍

I pray that this car gets you where you need to go and if something happens it doesn’t take a lot to fix! Happy new car year 🫶🏻
Appreciate you!
Congratulation .. with your new off road sports car .. you will have fun and hopefully stay out of the garage …. Nice to see you so appreciative

Congratulations on the new ride. Ready for some backroads with the new rids. 🎉😂❤
There is a Crosstrek version specifically made for off road called the Crosstrek Wilderness.
I saw that one. It was just a little more expensive. I liked it though.
Jay, I am a GMC truck guy myself but I inherited an 03 Subaru Outback with a 135K miles on it.

Nah. VW's are notorious for being terrible cars.
Depends on how you maintain them. I disagree with your opinion.@@TRJ2525
I would say the German manufactured VWS are the better ones. Thank you
Great decision my friend. I owned one and it was very dependable. Hard to beat what you bought. I’m seeing being a UA-camr I use my car a lot. We moved to Virginia since I retired and we have a bucket load of content here based on what we do most. Have a blessed day and enjoy that new ride my friend. ❤
Thanks, you too buddy
Congrats on the new car! I'm excited for the 2024 content in it! woo!
We are apart of the VW graveyard car club. I feel your pain! When parts start falling off, the entire car falls apart.
Thanks man
Congrats - love my Subaru
Nice ride can’t wait to see what’s new abandon places in roadside attractions in the new vehicle
Congrats on the new car Tampa Jay! Let's hope this one takes you on many, many road trips with no problems at all. Proud for you.

Love the song. Congrats! Nice car.
Congratulation on your new vehicle. My daughter bought a Suburu Crosstrek a few years ago and she still loves it.
Nice Brother!
