I think how Subaru adds blind spot monitoring is just horrible. To get that, you have to spend over $2000. New drivers truly appreciate BSM. And with $2000+, Crosstrek is less economical than other cars in the segment. This is for the base+1 model, where Crosstrek might make sense compared to Forester.

@@Das_Germaican Shoulder checking is a must-learn and a must-follow skill. Said that I have heard quite a few new drivers, young and otherwise, feeling more secure with BSM present. What I find annoying is that Subaru clubs a safety feature with non-safety features, giving no option to just add the safety feature. Here is the scenario - Mazda CX5, which is a class above crosstrek, has nearly identical safety feature set is almost $2000 cheaper. And the CX5's base+1 has same or super comparable feature set to Crosstrek's base+1 and is available at same price. Some people have specific preferences that only a Subaru or a Crosstrek might be able to meet, but for others this price difference matters. Outside all the arguments, Subaru is definitely doing something right for Crosstrek to be the highest selling SUV. So there is that :)

First time Subaru owner! My wife and just purchased in 2023 Forester Sport and we’re in love with it!

Watching you from Europe bought a Crosstreck for my parents who are retired and most of they rides are between cities. They love it

We took a Crosstrek for a test ride but found it too small for what we wanted. We then took a Forester for a drive and it was perfect. It wasn't that much more expensive but offered a lot more space and we actually preferred the old style infotainment (buttons and dials instead of big iPad on dash). The seats in the Forester were also much more comfortable. If I were 20, I'd likely be fine with the Crosstrek, but I'm older now, and the larger Forester (which is VERY easy to see out of) just seemed like a better daily driver for us.

Very helpful review. Thanks.

Love your reviews,and look forward to them.

I have a 18 Crosstrek and my wife uses it for local grocery getter type stuff and the occasional road trip (12 to 14 hour drive). My car is a 14 Outback which is my Daily Driver and is also used for moving things the Crosstrek can’t take. I am thinking about a new Outback or Forrester, but I feel partial to the outback since the outback is wider where the Forrester is more tall.

The cargo capacity in the crosstrek, plus the lack of physical hvac, is what kills it for me. There’s more space in a civic hatch for cargo than in this thing. I can see the case for it as a second car, but for people who tote slobbering things, children OR dogs, you’re one large dog or stroller away from that cargo space being useless. Forester has no such issues. If they just made the cargo capacity bigger in the crosstrek, I could deal with the finicky touch screen controls for the sake of driving dynamics.

I had a 2020 Outback Premium with all the options available, and it was a very capable, comfortable, and overall nice ride with plenty of creature comforts. Then, my husband got a 2023 Crosstrek Sport, and it turned out to be so much more fun to drive (and far easier to park in every way). It was also peppier off the line at speed, especially in S drive mode, while also having dual X-mode, neither of which the Outback Premium had. Well, I finally ended up trading in my '20 Outback Premium for the '24 Outback Wilderness, and while only the other XT model Outbacks can touch it in Subaru's crossover/SUV lineup when it comes to acceleration while also having even more creature comforts (including a more comfortable ride) than the Outback Premium, I still find my husband's Crosstrek Sport more fun to drive. It just feels so eager to go on adventures if you'll let it, and even with its smaller engine, it might still be able to go places the OBW simply can't due to its much wider and longer stance and decreased approach, departure, and breakover angles. The Crosstrek really is a great car for the money, especially with the 2.5L engine. And, frankly, I just never even considered a Forester, because of all of Subaru's cars, it looks the most clunky and dated. It also seems the most likely to tip over on sharp curves and/or in high winds.

I bought a 22 Crosstrek as I live in snow country and need to get through a foot of snow sometimes. Love the car, had zero issues through a brutal Sierra winter, and never got stuck. I traded in my 04 WRX, I used to get stuck in that and I got sick of shoveling it out.

I owned a 2020 crosstrek limited for about a year. IT honestly was a great car. The 2.5L had good power and the car rode and handled great. Very good fuel Econ for being AWD. The only reason I don’t still have it is because in 2021, it was worth more used than it was new!….sold it.

@@danielfair4675 - You are correct….my mistake - it was a 2021. We’ve traded cars so much recently that I lost track! When I bought it, it was between the limited (because leather) or the Sport…..both because of the new 2.5L offering. I ended up going for the limited mostly because the LED headlights. Was a great car, even though we only kept it for like 6mos.

I’m expecting the 2024 forester (releasing in a few months) will have wireless Apple CarPlay and the updated infotainment. I want wireless CarPlay, but I also prefer more physical controls.

Different models for different needs/wants/expectations. This is almost an apples to oranges comparo, because while there's always some overlap, most of the time folks will buy one or the other based on what they need the car to do for them. A fam of 4 with dog(s) that loves to load up and head for the mountains to car camp, isn't going to find the Crosstrek to be roomy enough for them. And a single person or couple, that lives in the city and loves to go backpacking (way less gear than car campers), isn't going to want/need the larger Forester. This is why a brand has multiple models to choose from, based on various needs of the buyer. For me, neither the Crosstrek nor Forester met my needs/expectations, so I went with an Outback Onyx XT. No regrets. But my wants/needs were different from what the person looking at a Crosstrek or Forester likely wants/needs. So again, it's all apples and oranges. This should be more about which is better for which kind of owner, than which is better value for money.

My wife doesn’t like the sunroof that’s offered with the ‘24 Crosstrek onyx (sport in America), so we looked at the convenience (base) 24 Outback. They are the same price in Canada. Yeah the base outback comes with a lot but the Onyx has so much more, again same price as base outback. Ultimately, my wife is gonna have to get used to the sunroof. We also have a 2020 base forester; love the thing!

RIP the Manual Crosstrek. If they brought it back with the engine from the sport I would give my WRX back in a heartbeat.

I’m with you Tyler. We were going for a Forester but after renting a ‘23 Wilderness for a week this winter we were very impressed with everything except for the tippy handling at sharper corners. And since we never go off-road (like most Subaru owners) we went with the much better handling Impreza RS. The rear seat space is much improved over my ‘02 WRX wagon, its chassis is miles stiffer and offers gobs of space with the rear seats down.

Oh wow, shoutout from Bloomington!

I'm considering the Forester for sure. I wish they would sell the hybrid in the U.S. nothing against the Crosstrek but it's not right for me.

NEW Crosstrek Ltd, Sun Blaze Pearl and Black interior 🎉❤😊 Awesome Video 😎 Keep Up the Amazing Work 😎🇺🇲

I waited to drive a Forester for years when I finally got to test drive one it was like driving a meat wagon. It was clunky and too big. They redesigned it bigger than it really needed to be. The Crosstrek is way easier to maneuver and a lot more fun to drive and easier to control.

The Crosstrek is slightly better fuel is why it’s the better choice compared to the forester which is few hundred pounds heavier. For someone who wants a hatchback with enough room for 2 people on getaways and decent fuel efficiency, I’m happy with my Limited Crosstrek!

Keep it for as long as possible. You lose physical controls and have already taken the worst of any depreciation.

I have a 22 FW and love it, it really just makes so much more sense than the Crosstrek does... even having no kids, rarely having passengers, not hauling pets etc... I tend to use my cargo space consistently. Wireless carplay is easily addressed via an adapter and is fairly reliable. I'd traded a 22 Legacy XT Limited to get back into the smaller screen with physical HVAC controls, the 11.6 is still pretty flawed. I have mixed emotions about the seat heat still being swtichs in the Crosstrek, while it's great they're still physical, it seems like a waste of space in the console and dead space on the screen. Fuel economy, my last 3000 miles has been between 27 and 29.5 tank averages with most of it being in the high 27s to mid 28s which is impressive considering the trim. Actually that 29.5 was with a friend driving it in Florida from Tallahassee to St George Island round trip. His first time driving it and everything.

I definitely prefer the styling/smaller size of the Crosstrek. Unfortunately, they did not make the 2.5L standard on the Crosstrek, and the value equation is not that great when you have to spend 30k to get the 2.5L. I still would probably get the Crosstrek, because I dont really need the space and it is smaller and more maneuverable. Toyota, Honda and Mazda have stepped up their games though, and made safety and driver assistance suites comparable to eyesight standard. The CX- and hybrid Corolla Cross are strong competitors. HRV is nice also, but desperately needs an optional engine.

I prefer the hybrid Corolla Cross due to its mpg over the Crosstrek (which I own), but the handling and interior materials were mediocre in the Toyota. Will likely get the Forester due to greater space and sun roof. I kinda like the boxiness of it too. I don't know why. It's kinda boring, though the goofy looking Sport trim spices it up a little.

Personally, I prefer the looks of the 2018-23 Crosstrek more than the 2024 and think it was a better overall value. I bought a '23 Crosstrek Limited 2.5L brand new in January for $30k. The older 8" touchscreen with physical buttons and knobs for HVAC, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, X-Mode, auto start-stop, traction control, etc. are easier to use than the 11" touchscreen that comes in the '24 Crosstrek.

I had crosstrek and forester and there is not really a comparison. You get a lot more car with Forester and generally more versatile platform.

YOU need an enema dude-- you won't SCRAPE the bottom of the CROSS TREK nearly as much as the forester--- due to the shorter wheelbase and BETTER breakover angles.. THINK before you speak.. :) (not be negative or criticising-- just pointing out the ObVIOUS point missed.

Approach and breakover angles are better in the Forester (wheelbase is the same).

I’m so glad that our Forester has the saddle Brown interior. We’re SOOO tired of the 34 year old Gloomy Gray and Boring Black interior colors that all automobile manufacturers think everyone loves. Depressed people buy depressing stuff to reflect where they are mentally.

Black hides stains, unlike brown or gray. If you have kids or use your Subaru for outdoorsy stuff, you'll appreciate it. It's hilarious you think a practical interior color means someone is depressed

@@kate10662 I’m a retired Psychologist. When there’s civil unrest, wars and rumors of wars, unstable economies, etc people choose darker, drab, depressing colors. When the world around you seems to be at peace, there’s civil rest, stable economies, etc people naturally choose bright cheerful colors. Look around you and the world today. Over 50% of houses are gray with white trim. Interior motif colors are usually drab, closed in colors. There are more vehicles on the road today that are silver, gray, charcoal gray and black with Gray or Black interior colors. Most people wear darker shades of clothing. Human behavior is strange to say the least. Our custom built house is cheerful yellow with white trim. Our interior motif is bright, open and inviting. Our vehicles interior colors are Ivory in my wife’s Outback. Of course you know that the interior of my Forester is Brown. I would have preferred the Ivory interior but it isn’t available on the Forester. Our 12 year old 4WD pickup (we bought it used for work around our property) is Silver. The interior was gray and black. I had the pickup 2 toned in factory Silver with Red metallic. It had it reupholstered in Red with black stitching and trim. To each his own I suppose. We simply choose to surround ourselves with happy cheerful colors and people. Enjoy your day !

I have a forester (family of four, camping, tortoise transport, ect.), a coworker has rhe crosstrek. The Forester IS bigger, like, 20% across the board, but the one trip I was in the Crosstrek on, I was impressed by the space inside the cabin and trunk. If I didn't have two car seats and a need to tow a trailer, the crosstrek might be the better choice.

I may trade in my '15 Crosstrek for a new one crosstrek. 2:34

I can't drive these... because I don't vape brah

What's that supposed to mean breh

Cheap crossover buyers? I hope you meant something else! That is very rude!

It don’t send toque to the rear as needed what are you talking about? It’s symmetrical full time awd!! Meaning it’s always on!!! So wether you need the power to the rear or not don’t matter!!! It will send it regardless!!! So it’s actually set up to always send 60% to the front and 40% to the rear!!! It’s not like other systems that are part time awd only….

I never said that it wasn't full time. It doesn't have a traditional center diff, it can constantly adjust and send far more than 40 percent to the rear if it needs to, it just resides around 60:40 under normal circumstances.

One has cam carrier seal issues and direct injection fouling and the other has cam carrier seal issues and direct injection fouling. The answer: Buy a Toyota

Ouch, thankfully, that hasn't been a problem with the forester or crosstrek for awhile now but the earlier lineartronics definitely burned some folks. I offer my sincere condolences to your friend's warranty and make sure they change the fluid every 40k, these NEED that.

@@Realistick see that's the thing we keep hearing how "it hasn't been a problem for a while now" they have a 2020... They also did they maintenance like they were supposed to. My wife and I literally just bought a new car this month and we actually considered a Subaru and I did tons of research but when I talked to the salesman at the dealership and he told me the cvts last between 80k-110k miles I was like the hell with that and dipped out.

@@KavdaenMain your friends may just have gotten a bad tranny. It happens. I've got a 2017 Forester with 100,000 miles on it and it runs and feels like new. I'm not exaggerating - I just test-drove a 2024 Crosstrek and was surprised when I got back in our Forester how tight and quiet it still is. No transmission issues at all and it's never been serviced (it's sealed and is generally not owner-serviceable.) The only issues I've had are the control arm bushings wearing out prematurely (which is an easy fix if you're even a little mechanically inclined) and a leak in the AC system. All told, over 6 years of ownership, we've done maybe $800 worth of repairs.
