Had my crosstrek limited for a year, then traded it in for my wilderness. I drive about 120 miles a day for work. Mix of highway, city, and rural back roads, and i average 28-31MPG (typically around 380-430 miles on a tank) with my wilderness V.S. my limited i was getting about 32-34Mpg and saw a handful of times where i was just under 500 on a tank. I live in WV, so when I commute across the state a few times a month I'll see my mileage drop down to about 23-25 Mpg as compared to my 2021 Wrx I average about 28-30Mpg and my crosstrek limited averaged about the same as my wilderness in the mountains.
You won't regret it , I changed my 23 Crosstrek limited after just 10 months for a white 24 Wilderness and never looked back. I enjoy driving the crap out of it.
Love mine in Sun Blaze Pearl. Being in Las Vegas, the oversized radiator along with the oil cooler and added transmission cooling fins really help in the summer heat. BTW - the heater steering wheel is only available in Canadian models even though they are made in the same factory as U.S. models.
@@morganarutsatz6736just got same one a month ago. Love it (except battery dead a week after purchase, but dealer replaced it roadside assistance service was great)
The rear hatch not powered... this is great! Powered rear hatches are way too slow to open and close. Most times you are standing there waiting on it, where a manual hatch can be opened and closed so much faster.
Have one. I assure you it does NOT have real skid plates. It has a tiny thin bit of aluminum protecting the radiator and that is riveted to a PLASTIC covering for the engine. Really, the representation that it has skid plates is consumer fraud. Other than that, I like it a lot.
I had a Gen 1 Crosstrek that I modded the crap out of. All the stuff I did to mine ended up on this so its nice to know Subaru finally realized that people like to use their cars off road. That said, I REALLY hope they made the CVT better, I blew through 3 CVT's in 2 years due to whining, components breaking, and just overall poor quality. I love Subaru, but their CVT's and the gutlessness of the car were real turnoffs for me and the ultimate reason I sold it. I'd gladly buy another one if those issues were fixed.
Would you buy the CrossTrek Wilderness over the Forester Wilderness? I'm coming from a 2014 XV CrossTrek Sport (5-speed). I'm thinking the boxy proportions of the Forester might make it more useful?
Cannot confirm. I get 31 mpg combined consistently after 12k miles. Driving around town, highways, through the Rockies, etc. The only time I get an mpg that low is when taking it off road.
Wife picks hers up Thursday fully loaded with everything. 34k for the vehicle 2500 taxes and fees 1700 for towing package and cross rails for roof Ceramic paint package 1900. Purchase at dealership in Muskegon Michigan.
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Crosstrek or Forester?
I'm a old fan from d1 are you going to make any more destiny videos ?
For everyone who hates the gold ("anodized copper") trim: tape around & spray with removable rubber paint.
Car is awesome I drive my wife around and wait in the car, and people just look at it like what in the tarnation is that! I love it
I stopped at a gas station to compliment this car😅. Looked like it was customized by the owner with the yellow accents

Trading my normal crosstrek in for the wilderness around Christmas time.
I traded my 18 for a ctw, no regrets.

I love my 2024 Wilderness Crosstrek
I just got an Alpine green ‘24 Crosstrek Wilderness 2 weeks ago…you won’t be disappointed.
I got my CTW 2 weeks ago and I am not sorry. I’m not an off-roader, but this little thing is so fun even as a daily driver!! ❤

Taking delivery of an Alpine Green Wilderness in a month. Cannot wait!
Solid Choice. Reserved the same 3 weeks ago. Just got a message saying it's in country and 1-2 weeks to get it.
@@morganarutsatz6736just got same one a month ago. Love it (except battery dead a week after purchase, but dealer replaced it roadside assistance service was great)
I love it especially the fact they beefed up the CVT
The rear hatch not powered... this is great! Powered rear hatches are way too slow to open and close. Most times you are standing there waiting on it, where a manual hatch can be opened and closed so much faster.
And less to wear out or break
It looks so hot! I wish it had a manual variant.
Have one. I assure you it does NOT have real skid plates. It has a tiny thin bit of aluminum protecting the radiator and that is riveted to a PLASTIC covering for the engine. Really, the representation that it has skid plates is consumer fraud. Other than that, I like it a lot.

Best car i ever bought
Miss having a five or six speed clutch and shifter versus the paddle shifters
Great car. Fantastic, even. I hate the gas cap being on the passenger side though. Who enjoys having to walk around the car to fill up.
Why didn’t you mention the 4.11 gearing vs 3.7 in the Sport etc?
He didn’t even mention that the wheel bearing’s outer diameter is now 0.0015” larger than the sport. How could he possibly miss that??
Super glad I bought a new 2023 limited. While I still could.
Gotta get the rubber mats in the back of the seats.
Mine also has lumbar support drivers seat.
It comes with the Harman Kardon sound system?!
It’s an option on this one as well.
Option 23 Harmon Kardon system, sunroof, power adjustable drivers side seat.
I average 29mpg at 8k miles
for me as a viewer..i prefer to watch the video from the outside versus the driver screen

$38,000CDN. I just bought one.
Ontario
I like your gloves, is it good for winter weather?
How the F there is no Rear Seat VENT for 2024??
cladding and badging. the singular most important features of vehicles marketed to outdoorsy folks.
Heating steering wheel not available in the US.
Doesn't the regular trim Crosstrek give you better clearance than bronco sport?
the regular crossstrek has the same clearance as bronco sport badlands (8.6 i think)
Amazing review
Getting mine in a week!
Did you get it?
@bigheavyshoe I did but after 88 miles check engine light was on having problem with #3 cylinder fuel injector I'm worried
what was your outcome. My wife picks hers up Thursday.
Can confirm. I average 23 mpg after 3k miles
Same I’m barley getting 24
Cannot confirm. I get 31 mpg combined consistently after 12k miles. Driving around town, highways, through the Rockies, etc. The only time I get an mpg that low is when taking it off road.
i just got one and if the gas is that low im going to be mad
Same here.
WHAT. mann I was between this and the rav 4 cause the off-roading...but if that's the case I'll just sacrifice and get the hybrid
They need a hybrid version of this
Would you say it handles better than the Forester?
Love the video but the accents are not gold, they are Copper
No trail cam? No fullsize spare tire? No locking dif.? WTF Subaru?
Under 35k maxed out ?? 😭😭 I paid 36,500
It's more like 37,5 fully loaded
@@bigheavyshoe correct
After tax and fees, paid 34.5 with 3.9 interest rate 🤷🏼♂️. Before tax and stuff, car price was 31.8

I got is amazing I love
Why no trail camera? What the hell?
Crap you don't need
@@dirtycommtroopthe skill issue camera
why the huge front bumper tho?
You cannot get a heated steering wheel. The mats are not standard. It's also not under 35k "all in".
The weather mats are standard. Mine came with them.
Mine too.
We should move past the 'hand-over-the-camera' thing. It's weak and kinda childish.
The yellow accents are trying too hard. It should be an option. Not everyone wants that much odd attention.
Two words: vinyl overlays. Problem solved
I came to say plastic dip!
They're not yellow, they're copper
Feel free to purchase a different trim.
Don’t get it then wtf is wrong with you
Just get a Jeep Wrangler..
And drive it every day? No thanks.
And the huge cost difference
Subaru's over-the-top name branding is really irksome. Subaru joins the grand parade of unabashed self-promoters.
I would like to have the option to give up those yellow spots. It looks kitschy. I would rather have it in sky blue or light gray. On the wheel too.
The yellow spots are why I want one :)
The yellow accents look great with the green color
They do make interior coverings for the copper accents on Amazon
