Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Crosstrek or Bronco Sport?

I just bought this 2024 Subaru Wilderness, and I am mighty impressed! Totally love it! Plus it looks really cool in alpine green 🤩

[@brandocommando6593]

Just snagged me an alpine green wilderness. 2nd Crosstrek and best daily driver ever

[@MeF2023]

@@brandocommando6593 Awesome! A freaking beauty that alpine green! I get stares all the time 🥰

[@Physics_Dude]

@@brandocommando6593 - I'm leaning towards the Wilderness white (pulling the trigger tomorrow?). Maybe I need to get a Stormtrooper helmet too!

[@brandocommando6593]

​@Physics_Dude The white looked really good in person. I also liked the orange in the sun but I have a new orange 4runner TRD Pro and the wife said only one orange vehicle at a time.

[@MeF2023]

@@Physics_Dude Did you say white?! Oh la la, that's my other choice 🤩

[@Soul2burn]

my landlord has a Subaru Forester with over 250,000 miles on it which is why i bought a 2024 Subaru crosstek and i am very pleased with it at least for the 500 kms I've put on it.

[@Certifiably_Unhinged]

Fun little dad mobile to be honest, got the '24 wilderness in silver for my dad mobile.

[@tommymas1]

No heated steering wheel in the "Wilderness"? Whose idea was that?

[@flippino35]

subaru of america apperantly cuz canada has them on theirs

[@mojodojojo]

You have to use S mode to get passing power, but in higher RPM

[@trentkesler7260]

I love my 24 wilderness Trek but a Turbo please

[@CalgaryGuy71]

I love the look of these cars but that cvt is just not my jam. I test drove one with the 2.5L and I could immediately tell I would be frustrated with this vehicle. It doesn't have the power when you need it. Great review guys!

[@dwnshft]

thanks!

[@Scotto97]

Actually if you select the sport mode, the car is really quick in 5-10 mph bursts. I'm here in Vegas and people drive crazy. It keeps up and then some if you learn how to drive it right.

[@johnnyisahermit]

think im going limited instead would rather the mpg and cheaper tires than waiting these tires on pavement 90% of the time.

[@donfaulhaber3412]

Can a crosstreck be ordered with a turbo from the factory

[@brookeadkins4208]

Not any more no

[@dudleybarnes1639]

I bought a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek limited I live in New York no heated steering wheel why

[@Soul2burn]

in canada they come with a heated steering wheel

[@Soul2burn]

try 49000 in Canada

[@DefundTheFringes]

Even its cladding has cladding. Ditch the yellow parts.

[@mklapper88]

Almost too good looking?

[@MeF2023]

Good looking yet sporty. In short, not pretentious!

[@brookeadkins4208]

[@robromej]

"Naturally aspirated" refers to the air going into your engine and it means it comes in naturally with nothing forcing the air such as a turbo or a supercharger. "Direct injection" refers to the gasoline. It means the gasoline is injected directly into the cylinder. This Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness is direct injected (gasoline), and naturally aspirated (oxygen/air). I hope this helps.

[@brookeadkins4208]

@@robromej haha I am a dumb ass, thank you. Got it mixed up with the turbo engines, my mistake!

[@nickjacobsss]

Potentially great vehicle, but they just skipped out on a few too many features for its significantly higher than the last couple years price. no heated steering wheel, manual gauges, slow outdated infotainment, no front/360 camera, the list goes on :(

[@watermelonhead6525]

There is a heated steering wheel

[@watermelonhead6525]

In canada we do at least

[@nickjacobsss]

@@watermelonhead6525 yeah, canada always gets extra features that we want in the US :(

[@indaydongtv5139]

overheat cvt😂😂😂

[@Travisj9935]

Until the upper oil pan gasket goes out and they need to pull the engine to fix it. These Subaru's are notorious for oil leaks 🙄

[@tommymas1]

False. That was last generation. Keep up with the times. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Travisj9935]

@@tommymas1 Umm bs my daughter has one. Had to be replaced in 8 months of owning it. Jc do a search on it

[@paulitik7]

Never had that issue on any of my Subies, were about to upgrade our Crosstrek Sport to a Wilderness. I’ve only heard of it happening with Tuners that track, and people that don’t keep up with oil changes or check their oil regularly.

[@samhixon3593]

They messed up putting the CVT in it. Go back to the normal speed auto.
