I own a 2024 Crosstrek Limited in Magnetite grey. I drove Honda, Toyota and Mazda and IMO the Crosstrek won in all categories. Great technology and amazing sound system. Awesome vehicle so far!

Reliability ? Come back in three years with your second transmission.

I've had the '24 Limited in Sun Blaze Pearl for about a month now. Absolutely love it. Coming from a manual car, I can't be happier with this car. CVT is super responsive and the drive is smooth

I just wish subaru would stop using boxer engines and cvts. Imagine this thing with a inline engine and 8 speed auto or something, that would be absolutely perfect

Stunning color for a beautiful car. Love it!

I love everything about this vehicle. Extremely safe and dependable, beautiful colour, love the tech setup especially the size of that screen! Looks really easy to navigate according to reviews and is nicely embedded in the dash….love the shape and the look of it from all sides! And the price to include all the goodies including the sunroof and awesome sound system is decent enough….very worth it to own a wonderful car like this!

Luv it. PS - just a little detail i noticed: they should have the little light in the cargo area come on automatically. Unless it's a three way switch and i missed it.

Looks amazing. Do the rear seats fold level with the cargo area (or is there small a jump up)? When the hatch is up, does it offer sun/rain protection while your standing at the back (always find myself drawn to more squared off SUVs for that).

Dynamat in the doors and hatch will solve the road noise

That dead switch in the console is for the Japanese and European versions for surround camera viewing and also the USA version is missing the memory seat settings that is integrated into the drivers door giving you 2 memory settings. Here’s the full camera surround kzread.info/dash/bejne/p36iydVtkc6qgqw.html

Great video

Hey, by the way could you do a little driving impressions section kind of like Doug demuro? Just a random idea I had

Well done. 👍🏼

Great all-round rugged Subaru goodness! I love the new color, it's not as Glaringly Orange as some new Toyota colors but my personal favourite on the Crosstrek is the classic Horizon Blue Pearl. Several paint variations on the 2024 Limited get yellow accents which look nice on black/dark blue! Bummed that they stopped offering manual, though.

Changing climate controls from physical controls to the touch screen controls made pass on this car

The giant screen is a deal breaker for me. I much prefer Honda's mix of screen and traditional controls.

Thanks so much for doing reviews on the base and the top trim!

Subaru makes good stuff. Comfortable, reliable, nice enough. I like the Crosstrek, it looks adventure-y. I sometimes see lifted ones with roof baskets and all-terrain tires. As a Subaru owner I don't use the climate controls on the touchscreen except to turn it on and off. I set it to auto when I got the car and use the temperature and defrost buttons as needed. $35k with the Subaru VIP coupon can get you a bigger and nicer Outback or Forester though. It's less overpriced and better quality than a Jeep Compass or Cherokee.

currently saving up for a new crosstrek premium. my 2009 corolla has 300,000 miles on it and the amount of oil it burns is unreal haha. i was split between an outback and a forester initially, but the new crosstrek has definitely swayed me. hopefully it'll last just as long as my toyota has!

For a limited there should also be ventilated seats and a power lift gate and it doesn’t have either! Oh and it doesn’t have hvac in the rear!

This has been a problem with the upper levels of Impreza, which is essentially what a Crosstrek is, they do not offer the same trim features of an Outback. Impreza is marketed to folks wanting smaller and cheaper, and Subaru doesn’t add features that competitors offer.

@@stevebailey7633 I can get over the ventilated seats and the power lift gate. But you need to have rear hvac. The ford escape had it from the beginning. It’s just unacceptable. In addition, from my experience you suffer back there without the rear hvac.

Agreed. I have a 2019 Limited and I wish mine had the ventilated seats and power liftgate. I ended up grabbing an aftermarket fan cooling seat cushion from amazon and that made the drive better in the summer. It’s not perfect, but where I live ventilated seats are a must. Also too, throw in a heated steering wheel too.

I've driven a 2021 Crosstrek Sport and the road noise is pretty good - much better than my 2010 Forester and only a hair louder than the 2011 Legacy I used to drive

lt depends what you mean about night and day. I've owned both, and drive up the same grade a number of times on the way to my dad's house and it splits into two lanes for the opportunity to pass for about a half mile. With the 2.5 you can, whereas with the 2.0 it somehow just does NOTHING if you put your foot down on an incline. So to me it's night and day. If night and day is the 2.0 vs. the new Koenigsegg.... well... lol

Suv? Or a hatchback that’s lifted with an SuV label to sell to people who wouldn’t want to buy a hatchback?

@@ERIN_GUNN ​ @richardepstein3494 interestingly talking to the dealer he was telling me that the demand for manuals is actually significantly higher than the sell rate, but Subaru won't manufacture as much and send them to dealers as CVTs are more economical and profitable and Subaru needs to reach company wide emissions goals. it also sucks because with the same engine and transmission they have used for years I don't think it would have been that difficult to include a manual option for 2024, but this is another victim to increasing emissions targets.

Manual doesn’t work with the eye-sight tech and that’s apparently why they dropped it. I’ve heard they’re working on it though.

at 4:32 besides the "better functionality" you forgot to mention that it's notoriously S... L... O... W... !!!

That color is very nice, but I’m not sure that I’d be brave enough to buy that color! Lol

I think it's overpriced. For that kind of money you can get the highest trim of the new 24 Kona or a niced used Lexus or Acura. Don't get me wrong I love the Crosstrek.

Just bought a 2024 Sapphire Blue Crosstrek in the limited trim. My first Subaru and I love the car, but the interior quality could be better. I'm used to driving upper-trim Mazda's, and Subaru has a long way to go interior-wise. In spite of that, I still love the Crosstrek. It's a comfortable driver that doesn't have a stiff ride, meaning you could go on long trips with it. All in all I'm very happy with mine. The Crosstrek could use a power lift gate in the higher trims though.

Love the Crosstrek

those seats are unbelievably hideous! looks like fake leather... the sport cloth looks infinitely better, the premium cloth looks better, the base cloth looks better... lol and i like orange!!

If I had to buy a car this would probably be in the running. But, fully loaded at 35K with no power liftgate and a cvt... maybe another CX-5.

Nice vehicle. But, I would never pay above $30K for it.

It's more like $50-$60k. My wife's brand new Legacy died at 100k miles. What junk!
