Should You Buy a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek? Thorough Review By A Mechanic

Great video, would love to see one for outback XT version if possible 🎉

That is great information. I hope you will review the cross trek wilderness at some point. I would really like to buy one, but they don’t have the power that I would like and I don’t like the fact that I can’t shift with the shifter I don’t like the paddles, the steering wheel gets in the way, unless you are just going straight. I guess I’m old-school, but I would like Physical buttons and knobs.

Owners nightmare and mechanicals dream... 😂
Fun to drive but Subaru hasn't developed the last 30 years... 🥸

I really would enjoy seeing you review a Ford Bronco Sport Badlands and or the bigger bronco.

Thank you for providing thorough technical analysis of vehicles. Continued success and increased viewership !

I have always liked the Subaru Crosstrek. But I hate the plastic cladding around the wheels because just as you said it should form the shape of the arch not that weird.

Great video, Please consider doing one for the Forester. We were trying to buy a Toyota Rav4 Hybrid for teh last few years and teh dealers would not budge off of MSRP + 6k. So we traded in our 2011 Prius and bought a Forester Touring. Would love to learn the ins and outs of teh car and the 2.5 Engine. Thanks you for all your great videos!

No more manual ! I think I will keep my old Forester.

Does this car has the engine auto stop-start? I would like to hear your thoughts on this feature.

I bought my daughter a 2018 Forester with the 2.5L and the car is plenty quick enough, its one of the things she likes about it, the fact that it accelerates into traffic safely without any drama. It would seem that the Crosstrek would weigh about the same. Subaru puts the 2.5L in the much heavier Outback and while not quick, it will get out of its own way. I have driven the four cylinder Outback and while I certainly wouldn't trade my 256 H.P. six Outback for it, it wasn't pathetically slow.

Subarus, properly maintained will last as long as any car, longer than most and I have been a long term owner of both Subarus and Toyotas, and with proper maintenance they last as long as Toyotas and that's including accessories as well. The problems come from neglect or improper mechanical work.
Subarus largely require OEM parts and technicians that are familiar with them due to their unique design, if you aren't prepared to follow the maintenance schedule, buy something else. But if you are you may become a brand loyalist as most Subaru owners are. They are like the swiss army knife of cars, snow rain, ice, or any combination, you always feel confident that the wheels are all firmly planted on the road.

Could you do a Impreza review plz🙏🙏

If they made it with a turbo and a manual I would buy one.

New vehicles with CVT transmissions are almost all junk with very few exceptions (mostly Toyotas, but not all).

Savagesse ? Not even close

Been waiting for this one!

Subaru's are sweet

Looks like a Sandero Stepway

"They make things the Subaru way"

Still has an aux port in 2023

I'm not complaining because I get to connect my fancy flac player and listen to my tunes with the more superior physical connection rather then bluetooth.

Never underestimate a slow car. Put a woman behind the wheel and it becomes fast quickly.
