The stock OEM tires on this car are not the same Falkens ones sold retail, and are not severe snow rated. Junk the 01 stock tires and replace with real Falken Wildpeak Tires, which are severe snow rated and have a much deeper tread. Shame on Toyota for putting crappy tires on this nice car. I own one and this is my only complaint.

This match up is wrong. The Subaru comparison to the rav4 turd pro should be the forester wilderness.

I liked my NC better than nd

The Subaru infotainment screen and functionality is fantastic, don't know how you don't like it over that dinky Toyota screen. Also, you may want to invest in a couple of cheap tripods so you can film the vehicle driving through the 'deep' snow (that we didn't see).

Lovely color

I bought a 2023 Tacoma TED OR but got rid of it at 1500 Miles as I hated how i sat too low in tge seat which hurt my L5 herniated disk driving fir kong dustances and i totally hated how much that crappy 6 speed automatic transmission hunted for gears driving on our rolling terrain in northeast Tennessee. So I traded that pos in on a 2023 Colorado trail boss that had the better 8 speed transmission and the drivers seat was power so I could raise or lower my seating position. Champion Chevrolet in Johnson city had ordered the truck with surround camera system and 18" custom wheels with 275/65R 18 Goodyear wrangled territory mt tires. It also has skid plates that came on the truck. I have driven it all over the logging roads from bland,va all the way south to max patch in Madison county,nc seldom ever having to drive in 4x4 mode because the G80 locking differential kicks in soon as the rear tire breaks traction spinning one revolution. That truck eascily drives up them logging roads in 4x2 mode. My next purchase when the factory tires wear out will be to put on 285/75R18 talked tires on the truck. Might even go up from the 2" factory body lift to a 4" lift with nicer after market bilstein shocks.

poor sub title. 1. FABULOUS ENGINE SOUNDS. One can put a nice exhaust on anything. Love my flat sixes but V8s sound better 1k-3k, Lexus 5.0 at 3.6k+ is very satisfying. 2. artful choice of lines and materials that are well put together. Real headline more like Emotive Coupe. I drive a 911 manual, Boxster PDK and a Lexus GSF that has the same V8 and magical RWD per torque vector diff (clutches) vs bs brake based. LC has extra intake and sound beats all.

When I Was looking for a AWD vehicle I Was comparing Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, and I Found out that Subaru’s Cimetrical all wheel drive is on at all time, This makes it A true all wheel drive vehicle. look up @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYPRmnlqf7aBaLc and see why subaru is the winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Low credibility reviewers. Research your topic. Another couple of amateur "journalists" with iPhones.

that is not a 6 foot bed. Chevy does not make a 72 inch bed. Yours is a short bed. 67.2 inches.

Dude with the shades is actually having valid point but the camera man keeps interupting with poinless facts. Its good info but let the man speak give each other room to make points.

ZR2 costs as much as the raptor…

I bought the MX5 love it! I got the touring model in automatic. I have bad knees would have love the manual but oh well. The auto has a sport mode which to me works well.

You didn’t mention approach or departure angles or ground Clarence, which is Subaru is the clear winner!! But also great video guys!!! And actually the Forrester is what competes with the RAV4!!! Not the outback!!!

I would buy the Subaru all day long!!!!

as a chevy guy, i will not be upgrading my truck to a new chevy till they get rid of the stupid afm/dod system. Also, these new trucks are wayyyy too expensive.

DRIVING SPORTS TV DID A TEST BETWEEN THE 2 IN SNOW GOING UPHILL THE RAV4 TRANNY GAVE OVERHEATING WARNINGS THE SUBARU DID NOT SEARCH Winter Shootout: 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness vs Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road at -17ºC!

Nah that subaru overheated cvt

They called it fake because they can’t afford one 😂.

Driving sports TV compared the 2 in extreme snow, and the Crosstrek wilderness hands down beat the Rav 4. The Subaru’s cimetrical all wheel drive is on at all times and it has a 3 peek tire. With the x-mode deep snow & mud, the crosstrek created its own path in over a foot of untouched fresh snow on an incline! The RAV 4 TRD doesn’t have 3 peek tires. The Crosstrek Wilderness also has 9.3 inches of ground clearance with a 20 inch approach and departure angle. The RAV 4 has an 8.6 ground clearance, a 19 inch approach and 21 inch departure. The RAV 4 continued to stall and turn off in deep snow that was already plowed by the Subaru! The Toyota had to air down its tires and the all wheel drive system continued to overheat! The Subaru has a dedicated auxiliary cooling system for the CVT, hence it didn’t overheat. The Subaru’s also has a horizontally opposed boxer engine making the center of gravity down low and the engine sits just in front of the centerline axle. It’s mechanically configured better in my opinion.

Excellent job Boys!! I always had /bought Toyotas in the past. After driving my 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness for 2 months, will NEVER buy another non Subaru car!

I wonder how these two could live in the years previous to, say, 1970? The phone was on the wall in the kitchen.

I’m sure you’re aware that the apples to apples comparison would be the Rav-4 vs Forester but great job comparing these two.

RAV4 TRD should be compare in size with the Outback Wilderness.....Outback would be the clear winner

Pretty comprehensive review. Enjoyed seeing both vehicles in interested in compared. Most reviewers tend to only compare the Crosstrek to other small SUVs like the HRV or Corolla Cross. If you’re interested in the wilderness trim I think the RAV4 TRD is more likely to be cross shopped.

Definitely room for improvement. Feels like you guys are Toyota nut swingers though. Why even review this Model if so 🤔

Those are 22" wheels

Keep up the great work! New sub and liking the videos! 👍

I actually don't mind how you guys reviewed the car so thank you. This car is NOT for everyone, and it is a soft GT with a lot of power not a true performance car like Porsche or AMG GT or a C8, but it is also not unreliable as those cars. As a previous 911 owner, what this car gives you is a pleasant drive experience and a peace of mind, which you won't get with the German cars.

That freaking key is almost a deal breaker, first, its ugly, second, it's size of a flip phone, third, i got my iphone and wallet, do I really need a key that big, for such a small car all I need is lock unlock, I don't even need trunk or panic, two buttons, they could have made it size of 3 quarters.

13:09 how does this ride compared to the gv60 that you tested recently? Maybe next year if HMG they merge the Calligraphy interiors features with the XRT mechanicals, I'll buy it😊

8:55 HMG is not equipping the car trims with appropriate INTERIOR features recently . 1. XRT trim is also missing a 360 SURROUND CAMERA. 2. Calligraphy trim appears to have omitted the right front passenger seat controls facing the driver / center console - this is standard in every other region. C'mon Hyundai 😡 .

8:04 reminds me of Boeing's MARKETING AND SALES teams taking the reigns 10 years ago and making sales promises to airline that they'd give back 1 million dollar if their planes require additional pilot training.

Thank you guys for this video!

I just sold my 2016 Miata Sport w/maual transmission with 47,500 miles and only a few minor interior issues(the hard plastic sun visors had cracked and broke off due to probablty sun exposure and temperature changes over the seven and a half years I owned it) for $16,100 at Carvana. I then purchased a 2024 Mazda 3 sedan a few hours later. I just discovered this video and now I miss my Miata so very much already(but Im glad I made the change) I also owned an NC at one time and I agree the ND has made significant improvements to the cars design both internally and externally(apart from those poorly designed sun visors which may have been changed since 2016). The only advantage to the NC generation Sport for me was the traditional hand cranked windows and actual key start instead of push start but Im old and set in my ways. I never personally had an issue with the lack of storage space because its what I expected. There were a few instances in which I lamented the limited space but I got over it the instant I cranked the engine and began my drive. Over seven and a half years I only had to replace the tires once and at seven years I also preemptively replaced the orginal battery. Other than that I had no issues at all. I changed the oil every 6000 miles instead of the recommended 10,000 miles. I also had my first oil change at 1,000 miles to swap out the engine break in oil with new clean oil. The break in period of that first 1000 miles or so will deposit a bit of metallic debris in the original oil and is perfectly normal. I drove to Austin Texas and back to Virginia once, to and from the Atlanta area on four occasions, and five times to Myrtle Beach, SC and back. I enjoyed every mile on those long trips in the Miata(except when it rained forcing me to drive top up) The top itself, after no telling how many openings and closings was still in fantastic shape after nearly eight years.

This will most likely be my 3rd Kona that I lease this October! Now driving a 2022 Kona Limited FWD and will go AWD next time. As the AWD is "on demand" and not full time AWD like the Subaru, it's great to have it when driving in winter and heavy rainstorms during the summer, and the Kona is FWD when the rear transaxle doesn't need the extra traction, which does save some mpg. For the money, I love the bells and whistles on the Kona (ventilated cooling seats during hot NJ summers? Yes, please). For me, who drives 99% of the time on suburban roads and almost never goes on the highway, the gas mpg is fine for me. Now, if the Kona EV Limited was a better deal -- with tax rebates and selling discounts -- I would consider that as well. Kona was the FIRST Hyundai designed as an EV first, then later the frunk space modified for the ICE and A/T.

It’s the answer for me! Had a 2019 for 3 years. Sold it to try other things. Really missed it and now I’m in a 2023. Deals are to be had now on leftover 2023’s got almost 7,000 off sticker.

ive got a question. Does the kona limited version have wireless apple carplay?

Nice review, but too much un-necessary profanity.

The point about choosing the EV6 (and GT) or Ioniq 5 if you don't need the luxury is very strong. If you are needing luxury though, also check out the electric GV70, which is a frustratingly great alternative (a month later we still can decide between the two!). As for comparisons to the Mach-E, Tesla, and Rivian - they may be great in certain ways, but they are tablets on wheels which expect you to conform to them. And the Mach-E GT is not significantly faster (especially after 5 secs / 72 mph) and you have to give up leather, ventilated seats, HUD, buttons, sun-shade, V2L, more configurability, more regen choices, door handles (GV70), and so on.

"Unique" not "Weird"

Why do you think that Recaros and Brembo are "a must"? Are standard seats and/or brakes bad or have some other issue?

My GV60 is good, but the ownership experience with Genesis in the UK from a customer service point-of-view is bad. Mattherhorn white is what I got mine in and is a great colour (except having to clean it all the time!).

I can't skip this clip always. So charming crazy car. ❤❤❤❤❤

It's a beautiful car. If only Lexus had made it slightly bigger to give it a little more cabin space-especially the footwell of the front seats-and tuned the engine and gear box to make it more responsive, then I would have chosen this car. The brakes are also a bit mushy. It's so close to being a great sports sedan that could rival BMW and Audi. Too bad.

Sold all my German cars and finally realized what I was missing. Put a Goodwin racing exhaust and coil overs and Woweee! Do lower the seat with PACO seat rails for a better lower racing position.

Easy fix: wear watch on the other wrist 😜

This is way better than a BMW

if i got 1$ for everytime you say "like" i would be rich
