    I spent over a month looking for the right car. By the end I was exhausted and figured I’d never find the car for me for the price I was looking for (under 30 grand). I wanted a leather wrapped steering wheel, “leather” seats, a sporty feel, all the new driver aids, good gas mileage, over 8” of ground clearance, a cargo space big enough to sleep in, AWD, and a nice interior. The RAV4 was too expensive for what it was. The CRV was also out of my price range. The Mazda cx50 is nice but MPG was meh and it was a new car, and not made in Japan. The cx 30 was tiny. I was about to give up until I found this. WOW! Thank god I didn’t give up. This car literally fits all my needs. What an amazing machine’

They have the 2.5L engine and he states that when they have to go to Seattle over the high Mtn passes, they get 33mpg. When they go to Spokane, WA they get 35mpg. They enjoy their Crosstrek and he told me that when it wears out, they’ll replace it with another one. The Crosstrek is a bit small for our needs, so I drive a Forester and my wife drives her Outback.

It wasn’t my first time playing with the build feature thanks to one of your previous videos but first time going all the way to point where I could save the build and download a PDF.

Unfortunately, our 22' Forester orders are closed right now but the 23' is expected to open mid-sept. My guess is that those orders will arrive in January. Both are great cars so it's tough to decide. The Forester is larger and has a higher price tag.

    i have a 2014 forester right now, been thinking of upgrading to a newer subaru car but not sure if i should get an outback or a crosstrek, i live in PA so we sometimes get deep snow, i love the crosstrek but unsure if the smaller size would make it not as good in the snow compared to an outback or even another forester. is the crosstrek's smaller size that big of an issue or would it still be good, also cargo capacity. would i have that much bigger issues, not really hauling a lot with my forester, would it be better to stay in a bigger size just in case i ever have to haul something big or?

    Both drive well in the snow so you shouldn't see a difference there. Both have a 1500 lb tow rating. I'd choose whichever one feels most comfortable for you to drive. If you like the smaller and more nimble feel of the Crosstrek, go for that. But if you need more space than the Crosstrek can offer, step it up to the Forester. Both are great cars and you can't go wrong with either!

    the 2.5 has 30 more hp and 30 more lb ft of torque. I personally don't think it's a substantial difference. I would suggest driving both if you have an opportunity to compare. The Base and Premium (lower trims) have the 2.0 only and the Sport and Limited (higher trims) have the 2.5 only.

    Hi Alex! I just got this car new a couple of months ago. I am in Canada so the sport version here is called the Outdoor trim. I have the Startex seats. I wanted to ask you if you e heard of people complaining about back pain from the seats? It was fine up until about the 2nd week, just a 5 minute drive is causing me very bad back pain, to the point that I barely drive the car because of it. I’ve tried everything, lumbar pillow, seat pillow, every sitting position imaginable, nothing works. I even read about people removing the hard plastic lumbar support in the seat a couple of weeks ago that doesn’t work. I do not get back pain from any other seat, not just from vehicles, but any seat. This vehicle has been literally crippling me. Thank you for posting your videos man!

    Sorry to hear about your issues with the seats! I haven't heard of any complaints with the seats. Subaru did however redesign the seats for the 2024 model to make them more comfortable. They also added lumbar support to the lower trims here in the US, which Subaru previously didn't have for us.

    Hi Alex, Great video. We have a neighbor who bought a Crosstrek. They enjoy it very much. They have grandchildren in the Seattle area so several times a year they have to go over the snow and ice covered passes during the winter months. Subie’s are awesome for traction and are far superior with their AWD system. That’s why we bought our Outback. Anyhow, when my Rav wears out I’m thinking about buying a Forrester Touring, as I need more interior space than the Crosstrek has to offer. Is it true that the Crosstrek and the Forester are on the same platform? The price of the Forester Touring is the same as the Toyota Venza Limited or the Lexus NX, both of which are hybrids. Hmmm, a Subaru Forester or a Lexus for the same price and the NX is a hybrid…

    Hey David! Yes, the Forester and Crosstrek are both built on a similar platform. Both will perform well in the snow so I would suggest picking whichever one is most comfortable for you to drive. If you need more space, go for the Forester. The Forester is also most comparable to the Rav4 in size.
