2024 Subaru Crosstrek | Talking Cars with Consumer Reports #408

Cladding looks great and functional.

You don't mention the bigger engine ...184 hp...not important?

Any one else have a problem with the headlights at night? Black spots show up like floaters in your eyes and the lights are too low and doesn't illuminate the road there is a line between the light and the dark above. When you drive and hit even a small bump you can see the line move up and down. Very distracting.

First thing every car with a screen says when you start the car..."Don't look at this screen while driving!". LOL.... so why do you give me a screen I am not supposed to look at? Just because you can do it, does not mean you SHOULD do it!!

Someone LIKES pedestrian detection? So that means I am the only person who is looking where they drive? Really? I SEE pedestrians...are other people not looking out the windshield when they drive? Wow people are scary. If you need pedestrian detection, YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DRIVE A CAR! I have driven over 1 Million miles...NEVER needed the car to tell me what is in front of me! NEVER!!

If CVT, no chance, I will not buy a Subaru because of CVT. I will not buy any vehicle with a CVT. Before you fan boys have a huge head explosion and tell me a CVT will last as long as a regular automatic (it won't), it still costs double to fix. The CVT would have to last twice as long to break even. CVT = Garbage

The screen is too big. Buttons are more ergonomic.

I’m a senior so I would value more comments on the ease of getting in and out of cars, the comfort of the ride, more comments on the fit and safety for short people, and which model has the 360 view mirrors. I looked for blind spot feature when I bought my 2012 hybrid Camry, now the feature I’m looking for is the 360 mirrors.

why are they spending time talking about fender flares? talk about quality guys. c'mon. how will a cvt tranny hold up? the engine .... jeez what a waste of time

Alex is f'in HOT!

the extras cost too much compared to a Toyota Rav4 XLE Premium which has all the bells and whistles at a much lower price tag.

Subaru makes excellent products overall and the Crosstrek is extremely popular for a reason. Value for money, a well engineered product, and their all wheel drive system is very capable. The only knocks on it in my opinion are the very underpowered base engine and the CVT. But many people can afford the 2.5 L engine, so there’s that and then it’s a practical fun car to drive.

Subaru has now changed the menu again where heated seat controls are on all the time and outside of the hvac menu. Slow but steady improvements to the 11.6” system

I love my 2023 Crosstrek. One problem. Every time it snows hard or rains my Eye sight goes off.Have they fixed this for 2024?

Value for money. This is what the Crosstrek offers. If you are picky about 0 to 60 performance, please run to the BMW or Porsche dealer and test drive. Make sure you have an additional ~$60,000 in your pocket. It is very annoying when folks leave comments regarding acceleration/performance for this vehicle.

the dude in the black tshirt's lisp is on point! lol

The 2023 Premium Crosstrek has a leather wrapped steering wheel.

CVT is the weakness of Subaru.

Love this and the Crosstrek. Ford really missed the mark on the Focus and then the Escape and then the Bronco Sport. The Focus should have evolved into an AWD and the Escape should have been what the Bronco Sport is. Subaru has taken a really good stance here while remaining tru to naming, focus, capability and performance. LOVE what Subaru puts out (minus the Forrester which is dog ugly).

My corolla get 33mpg city.
