I just purchase a new premium 19 Cross Trek, so far I love it. It seems that Subaru has fixed the head gasket problem. They engineered a much stronger gasket. From what I have learned, it has a steel element to it.
Great video as I'm picking up one of these cars soon and you've explained all the key features, how to use them. Saves me having to drive the salesperson crazy as well as creating a back up for anything I've forgotten or overlooked. We have a lot of speed bumps in my neck of the woods (Melbourne, Australia) so these cars are very versatile with the extra ride height. Thanks again.
thank you. i am in europe and planning to buy a crosstrek. they are not common here. you have the best video to show around the car. looks like nice car, i will dump my savings into it
I really like this color. Hope its available in a hybrid the year I need to trade in my 2011 Tuscon. My wife loves her 2018 Crosstrek (cool grey kaki).
I appreciate your in-depth videos for interior and exterior features. Helping me decide if I'll take a test drive or not. Now I just need to find a video that gives detailed instructions on how to best use the paddle shifters, and the benefits of X-Mode with a real example.
Love all your reviews Mike, always so in-depth and detailed. Great work as always. That being said ....that little yellow pointer hand is just way too creepy 😬lol!
Jason Thach I love this little car. I think it's a very solid option and prefer it to most in it's class. It wish it had another engine option with some oomph but I get why it doesn't. I also like it has interesting colors. Glad to see the Forester taking notes. Hopefully Subaru gets that some design is important.
When I my Crosstrek with exactly the same options, I was told all weather floor mats were not available. It will be a year on August 15th that I got my 18 Crosstrek.
Mike I know you posted this over a year ago but that little flap on the driver’s sun visor is actually Subaru’s sunglasses holder for some of their vehicles. My ‘07 WRX has that 😂
I literally just but this car. I just wanted a nice in depth video on the car and you did just that! So thank you very much! Just one question though.. Why do you use a pointer instead of your actual hand? Like I said just a question. I'm new to this channel so there must be somethings to clarify.
Did Subaru fixes their oil consumption problem for good? Or is Subaru still expect the owner to add as much as a quart of oil per 1,000 miles is a normal procedure to maintain the car?
That really is a nice car , digging the color 👍 I've owned 4 Subarus , currently own 2 Toyotas (4Runner & Rav) I'm seriously considering trading my TRDPro 4 Runner on one of these .
I have a 2018 orange also but it’s “mid level” and I am wondering what the little plastic rectangles are for on the exterior rear view mirrors are for? They do not light up but are part of the rear view mirror casing?
Hi ....I am experiencing ongoing radio / bluetooth problems. I started a lease in feb 2018, put down a big deposit....once the car is warmed up....the whole system goes haywire.....it is unusable....cant use radio or bluetooth, maps....nothing...the screens just rotate through.....buttons dont work... my local dealer has taken it in and tried to fix it....replaced the whole radio system two times, replaced the usb cable ports..... the can't figure it out..... yet i still have this car that is not fully functioning and for which i am paying full lease fees! I am infuriated. they've told me to go to subaru canada. I can't get through to them on their customer service line.... this has been ongoing for 10 months!!!!! any suggestions?
Car salesman attempts to review a car. Stumbles at times and then says this son of a bitch can hold so much fucking spaghetti! Then sales millions of units.
Looked at 4 crosstreks and every one had paint overspray making the surface feel rough especially at the rear of each car. Quality control is lacking at the Indiana plant which I think this car is built at? This could be a deal breaker for me!!
This dealerships website is awful...no pricing ...makes them look shady , as someone searching for a cross trek or a forester I would travel to get good service... the website requires me to put my info in to get info on something they are selling... no thanks... but I do love this vehicle... guess I’ll shop here in Charlotte though 🤷🏽♀️
Tabbie Terd I work at this dealership. The Charlotte Dealership is identical to ours as well as most other Subaru dealers in the state because SOA has strict guidelines for what information is displayed on them. We have some of the best customer service ratings in our city and people love the low pressure easy going atmosphere at Parkway. It is one of the few dealerships that actually takes care of people and is honest. Feel free to email me directly if you have questions about cars. Nkolk@parkwayofwilmington.com
Sunshine "Areinghe"? Dude it's Orange, you know like the fruit you eat. Same color as the fruit. Orange. Where did you come up with whatever you called it? WEIRD!
Endokuken I disagree. I think this looks fresh without being over the top. If you compare it to the rest of the class it is much better looking. The renegade is too cutsy albeit good off road, the Honda is bland, the Toyota CHR is over the top with bad blind spots and no all wheel drive and the Ford... Well, they didn't even try.
I've watched A LOT of 2018 Crosstrek video's. This was the best. Nice work Mike.
Love how he uses that pointer 😆😂.

As of the 2019 model or also improved in 2018?
Lmfao I love your finger pointing device
Thank you... Please share this video if you can :)
Me too lol
Thanks for finally getting a chance to review one!
It took way too long I know :)
That yellow gloved pointer is too cool. For a brief moment I thought it was your hand in a glove!
Thank you... Please share this video if you can :)

Do you have one?? Do yoylike it? Problems?
Awesome quality! Just one thing, the four discs rotors are ventilated, so that means great performance and less braking fatigue
Great review video that actually shows the car and not just a person talking! Fantastic job! Love the pointer hand lol
thank you. i am in europe and planning to buy a crosstrek. they are not common here. you have the best video to show around the car. looks like nice car, i will dump my savings into it
Great job. Love my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek!
My friend loves this color and car sooo much
I really like this color. Hope its available in a hybrid the year I need to trade in my 2011 Tuscon. My wife loves her 2018 Crosstrek (cool grey kaki).
This review helped me a great deal, thank you for the information!
Danny K. How good was the deal? And How good is the sound system? If you dont mind me asking 😌
Wow, the most informative videos for the used cars I’m considering. Thanks.
I love that color ❤️ I bought my crosstrek last week I got a Dark grey sparkly color I’m in love with this car 🚗
this car is amazing
Omg I was waiting for this to come around!! Thank u so much!!

Thank you for watching and your feedback :)
Yay! I love your videos!!
Excellent review!! The thoroughness among your reviews is second to none. Would love to see a review of the new 2019 Subaru Forester Sport!!
VERY in-depth video. Thanks a lot!
Mike, love the yellow hands
really good detail in your review
Best walk around thanks Mike!
This car is starting to grow on me.

I enjoyed this detailed review. Very good and well explained.
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a reviewer specifically go for the panic button 💀
Thank you for the video.
When I my Crosstrek with exactly the same options, I was told all weather floor mats were not available. It will be a year on August 15th that I got my 18 Crosstrek.
Love that pointer : )
Thank you, great review!
Are all windows 1 touch up/down and does it come with a manual transmission?
Hi this is a great video but how much better is this over Porsche Cayenne Base 2013 model?
Great video! Do more!!
Could you please do a Mitsubishi Outlander phev? Because I’m pretty curious about those...
I think the "secret" hood stick position is for the mechanic so there is extra room for some jobs like removing the engine.
With a Subaru it becomes useful a lot :D
Mike I know you posted this over a year ago but that little flap on the driver’s sun visor is actually Subaru’s sunglasses holder for some of their vehicles. My ‘07 WRX has that 😂
Thanks Brevin :)
Big fan of your videos man
Such a lovely car
Yellow hand is hilarious 😂😂
Thank you
I'm looking at this vehicle. I might just trade in my 2017 Toyota Corolla for this car. I'm digging the color too.
Nice review!
Subaru looks to have made the rear door trim more rugged to survive kids.
I literally just but this car. I just wanted a nice in depth video on the car and you did just that! So thank you very much! Just one question though.. Why do you use a pointer instead of your actual hand? Like I said just a question. I'm new to this channel so there must be somethings to clarify.

MikesCarInfo thanks!!! Just didn’t want you to think I was hating on you or anything!!
In Australia we get a electronic hand brake on all models and dual zone air con on top 3 models.
What is your opinion on CVT's?
Please make a review about 2019 one, ice blue color
Torn between this one and the Forester
Did Subaru fixes their oil consumption problem for good? Or is Subaru still expect the owner to add as much as a quart of oil per 1,000 miles is a normal procedure to maintain the car?
I'm 6'2'' would you recommend this vehicle for a tall guy like myself?
That really is a nice car , digging the color 👍
I've owned 4 Subarus , currently own 2 Toyotas (4Runner & Rav) I'm seriously considering trading my TRDPro 4 Runner on one of these .
Right Down The Road From Me!!! (Jacksonville, N.C.)
If a rear hitch bike rack is being used, does anything need to be disabled (lane assist, etc.,)?
I have a 2018 orange also but it’s “mid level” and I am wondering what the little plastic rectangles are for on the exterior rear view mirrors are for? They do not light up but are part of the rear view mirror casing?

any suggestions?
Lmao the finger
should be able to find this car with it orange color in the parking lot.
Hey Mike I am thinking of getting a 2018 Sti or a Type R which one do you prefer? Thanks Mike, best reviews like always.
I like the STI better
Thanks
The yellow hand turns to a real hand half way through??! 😱
Except no lumbar support???
The pointer made me laugh
No rear climate control system for the rear passengers!?! Seems to be a trend for Subaru.
With only sub 200 hp, you would not want a passenger :D
Is that engine have chain or belt?
chain
Great review! Sounds like Woody Harrelson is narrating! Ha Ha
Has a chain not belt, doesn't depend on anything!
Pls do a review of ford f 150 raptor pls and i like your video
😂😂😂😂 pointer 🤷♂️
Why you did not do the new ford f150 2018
I will when I have access to one :)
Oh, you didn’t get to drive it? A shame🤔😥😥
Like that finger.
Thank you... Please share this video if you can :)

Mike the Impreza is built in Indiana but Crosstrek is built in Japan and is very highly rated according to Consumer Reports!
Subaru the car manufacturer with the weirdest colour vehicle. No wonder why that colour is no more available. :D

You may need to get your hearing checked.
@@MikesCarInfo Dude, you said "Areinghe" or something like that. it OR not ARE! ORange!
Subarus just look so outdated
