    Yeah, I got a crosstrek in 2020. I wanted a car that was good on gas and still had offroad and snow capabilities. It's a great car, comfy and good features. Although, I was disappointed with how it operated in the snow. I was in very light snow and the tires spun out and locked up. Didnt even have enough power to get out of it. Sure I couldve gotten better tires, but the engine is so weak, it wouldve been even slower than it already is. Also, yeah, the fuel economy wasnt that great, not nearly what they advertised. It barely had enough space for camping too. I think my wifes prius has about the same amount of room. I will say the adaptive cruise control is REALLY nice. made highway driving a dream, and saved me a few times from people stopping abruptly.

    Mostly incorrect. The CT's main drawbacks are low torque engines and terrible stereo sound quality. CVT is OK but paired with low torque engine it becomes annoying - the engine is the problem. The Info screen is also very laggy but does the job and looks nice. The vehicle is more capable offroad than its peers with a superior AWD system and more ground clearance too. Another big advantage is the very very comfortable suspension - dynamic and compliant making it ride like a luxury car (at least the 2024 updated model - note, and not he Wilderness edition). As a very tall guy it is one of few Japanese cars I am comfortable in. The stereo is easily fixed with $300 in upgraded high-sensitivity aftermarket speakers which are easy to swap in. Crosstrek remains a bargain imho.

    This review: Reasons not to buy a Subaru Crosstrek -
    1. It can't accelerate like a top fuel dragster
    2. It can't rock climb like a mountain goat
    3. It can't carry as much cargo as a semi-truck
    4. It can't seat as many people as a school bus
    5. You won't get the ladies to flock to you.
    6. It doesn't have a turret, let alone a cannon- BIG minus there.
    In short - dont buy a Crosstrek because it isn't the One Vehicle to Rule Them All

This Crosstrek comes in at 150hp or 180hp, which is late 90s japaneses sedan horsepower (like our 97 Altima had). This is pretty low given nowadays 200hp is usually available, and even fairly basic EVs like a Model 3 will accelerate in traffic as quick as a BMW M3 (yes, the Model 3 base goes 30-60 s fast as a M3, 2.5s). Would be nice if the STI engine was available in a Crosstrek or Outback, with 350hp.

    • @Crooklynmike
      @Crooklynmike 12 днів тому

      I totally agree! I love the compact size. Got it especially because my wife is a new driver. I was concerned that she would have trouble parking in tight NYC parking spots and wanted something that was high enough for road visibility, would be able to handle bumps and not overwhelmingly fast where she'd feel like she was losing control. I have a fully loaded sport trim which makes a world of difference. This 2022 model is features rich and loaded with so much tech that Subaru never even brags about. The driver assistance is so next level that I shut it off because I was afraid that the car was practically driving itself! The Starlink app while not great is still robust and a welcomed plus. I'm coming off my lease soon and afraid to look at anything else. If I can get my trim package in a 2025 then I'm all in!

    Everything you have said is true either completely or to a certain degree. However, there's also many places it excels in that weren't mentioned (possibly in another video, but I don't like the two-sides video series that people do because one video [most likely the negative video]will be the most watched leaving out the good points that can counteract the bad ones.) For instance, I think 10 seconds in the 0-60 for such a Crosstrek is actually really good compared to it's competitors. And also the Crosstrek has been their best selling model. Also (hot take), the CVT may actually be much better than other transmissions. As negativity revolves around CVTs, there's many that call these misconceptions and misinformation and there are tests there to prove so, you just have to take the time to look them up. And Subaru has the most reliable CVT compared to any other. Their TR580 CVT. Which is on my 2024 Crosstrek Sport.

There is an MPG penalty for fast 0-60 times... shocker. Five of the cars I've owned were premium German luxury machines yet the Crosstrek Sport is my favorite car ever. There's a reason this car is #1 in its segment. This car feels fantastic on the road and gets great fuel economy. You can go up to 500 miles on a single tank. That's impressive.

    Like Jeep owners, this probably won't deter Crosstrek enthusiasts from purchasing. My experience with the Crosstrek is mostly positive. Don't think Subaru is interested in building the fastest car, just thr most practical and utilitarian. I love that about them. Power lift gate and seats are nice ro have but not necessary. However I do have a few gripes. I wish that you could release the trunk from inside the car. Interior paneling can get a little flimsy over time on Subarus though. Faster than on a Toyota. My 2022 Crosstrek is already having loose panels by where you rest your left foot on the drivers side. Sometimes the CVT can get a little womky and you have to ease into the acceleration. I think they stopped selling manual drive Crosstreks because the paddle shifters allow you to manually control shifting like modern race car tech. Overall, I love the Crosstrek. It has a great athletic look for a small crossover, functions well and a great price for all the features it comes with.

Both are still going strong with only basic maintenance needed. These are solid vehicles and offer so much value for cost. If your budget is unlimited sure you can get a 62 grand Bronco or a 70 grand Jeep Wrangler, but brother let me tell you my Crosstrek cost half what those vehicles do, gets better gas mileage, and is a heck of a lot more reliable, and easier to maintain.
