What good is a touchscreen and all the doodads if you don't use a cell phone? I prefer analog, manuals, old school. Less to break down. Less expensive to fix. 4 tires, a clutch and a steering wheel is all I wanted. But with no choice I bought a 2024 Touring (canada). Still waiting since my first order of '2023" in Oct and having to switch to a 2024 in January. I really hope I don't regret it.

I have owned Subaru cars from the 1980 era Legacy wagon to my 2023 Crosstrek (my 5th Subaru). I have noticed that the first year of a new generation is a work in progress and subsequent model years contain refinements that work out the bugs uncovered from real world driving experiences. I do like the electronic parking brake addition to the 2024 ( loved that feature on my 2011 Outback). My wish list for all future models would be the fold away cross bars on the roof rack, currently found on Outback’s. Makes for a sleeker appearance and less wind resistance when not needed.

My sales man was great he could tell I didn’t like the outback wagon look and even though they didn’t have a Forester on the lot he showed it to me on the computer and I ordered it. It has a typical suv appearance WITH back ac vents and more space. Hopefully my Forester touring model will be delivered in August and I’m looking forward to loving it.

I just traded in my beloved 2014 Crosstrek MT for a very low mileage used 2023 Limited. I've mourned the loss of the tight, responsive drive of my 2014 ever since. I can only describe the handling of the 2023 as loose. It definitely does not hold a high-speed curve like my 2014! Now driving feels more like work, instead of pleasure. I've never bought used before, but did NOT want the giant touchscreen without tactile AC control knobs on the 2024. I had to take my 2023 in for a slight issue last week, and was given a loaner--a brand new 2024 Crosstrek Premium with only 5 miles on it! I drove it easy, respecting the fact that it was not broken in, but here are my impressions: It was smooth! The transmission was incredibly quiet and smooth, and the ride was, as well, even when hitting a couple of rough patched areas. The steering was much tighter, and very responsive on curves. Stiffer chassis made it a joy to drive. The upgraded noise dampening was a super-plus. But now, the absolute deal-breaker for me: The huge touchscreen! Trying to adjust the AC/Heat on a typical mountain Spring day, was a nightmare. The fact that the controls are on the bottom of the screen made it even worse--it's a long way from where our eyes are supposed to be (on the road!) to the bottom of that huge screen. What on earth, Subaru?? What has happened to your once-famous claim to safety? To sum it up, I was thrilled to get my 2023 back, looser drive and all. I will baby this car and try to make it last. Unless Subaru wakes up and changes the screen issue, my next car will, sadly, not be another Subaru. Just my 2 cents!

I prefer the 2023. No more manual transmission. Not a fan of the new look. Those wheels reminds me of Pontiac Sunfire's and it's not a good thing. Now some of those "improvements" are really subjective. I dont like the giant touchscreen, it looks bad and i prefer normal buttons for heating and AC. The parking brake being electric now is another dumb upgrade. Have fun changing your rear brakes without a scantool. Also if you believe those wheel arc cladding holes will help stability, then you must also beleive in fairy's. The good thing is that the chassis is 10% stiffer, but appart from that, IMO the 2023 is a lot better.

TBH, I think the 2021-23 Crosstreks are a better package. I think the previous gen look better on the outside, and the interior door panels and other areas of the cabin in the '24 look like they've been cheapened up somewhat. Not a fan of the new tablet screen and lack of physical buttons. I'm also not convinced the suspension is "upgraded", since all they did was soften the dampers and springs. That may make for a smoother ride, but it may come at the expense of handling. The previous gen Crosstrek was universally praised for having a comfortable ride as it was. Ultimately, the 2024 is less attractive than the model it replaces, IMO.

He said it was not an option on any level Crosstrek but that they could perhaps install a new rearview mirror with the buttons and system for $441.

Spray interior cleaner on a clean microfiber cloth to clean and prep the dash/interior trim. Always! Next apply a WATER BASED trim dressing with a foam applicator. Rags are uneven. Remember to shake the water based dressing! The secret to no streaks is to buff the dressed dash/trim with another clean microfiber cloth after 20-30 minutes. If you don't buff, the dressing will shrink as it dries causing a "streaked" appearance.

Is Subaru coming out with a new Baja and / or a Brat? If so when? Motor options? and Starting Prices?

On previous years with Subaru I heard there were problems with the automatic braking misbehaving sometimes causing accidents. Has that been resolved with 2024 Crosstrek?

It happens across the lineup. My Collision Thai tection kicks in when it is cold outside and there is a person in front of me that exposes exhaust fumes. Some of their automatic braking system is messed up in all trims in all models

Love my 2024 Crosstrek Premium! Alex, I have a German Shepherd and am protecting my interior the best I can, but I'm concerned about removing his slobber from my exterior paint immediately when we return from a trip. Any suggestions on safe/effective products?

Congrats on your new Crosstrek! Try getting a detail spray. I use Chemical Guys and Adam's Polishes. Just have a microfiber cloth handy and use the spray when you need to clean your paint. Pretty quick and easy!

Does the slober ruin your paint that you can't get it off??? I'm wanting to get a Subaru and a German Shepherd also but don't want problems with the paint of a car...

Why the crosstrek 2024 in Canada doesn’t have the front camera on any trim despite it is available in other markets like Australia. What is really annoying that the actual physical button is there next to the gear shifter and the parking breaks. I don’t think it will add to the cost this much even there is no radar/sensor to help with parking. I know all trims has the eyesight tech which is great but I don’t think it has something to compensate for a front parking camera or radar

What about the sound system? My 2016 Crosstrek Premium had a terrible stock sound system.
@jeffrey3498 Жыл бұрын
Very nice vehicle. I have a 2023 premium with 6MT, but what disappoints me with the 2024, and this will sound really trivial, is the disappearance of the secondary display on top of the dash. This was something unique to Subaru that I thought looked nice plus being useful. Maybe next year Subaru will bring back the manual transmission for the Crosstrek, and Impreza.
@eskieman3948 Жыл бұрын
Very unlikely that Subaru will bring back thee manual transmission for the Crosstrek and Impreza. Why? Because almost no one were buying these cars wit the MT, and it didn't make financial sense to keep offering thee option.
@jeffrey3498 Жыл бұрын
@@eskieman3948 The weird thing is that not many manuals were available to purchase. It took me three months to find my Crosstrek, and the manuals seemed to fly off the lots when they were available. On the one hand you hear people saying the demand is low, but on the other hand the availability is low, so how could Subaru sell very many of them?

@@jeffrey3498 Choice is good (for us), but Subaru doesn't *want* to sell manual transmissions - nor does almost any other manufacturer.
Are they still using standard turn indicator bulbs in 2023? Geez!

I’m curious why when you were showing the head unit and discussing wireless CarPlay at 4:32 your camera suddenly switched to another interior with a wireless charging pad. Where’s the wireless charging pad in this car and why did you cut to another Subaru interior (and which one has wireless CarPlay??)

Does anyone think that the 2.0l engine has enough power or should you just get the 2.5l ??? I'm looking for a Subaru and was going to get the premium level but now I'm wondering if I should get the sport level for the 2.5l engine. TIA for your help...

Alex. Just a fast question. I have a 2020 Forrester Touring very happy with nit. Sorry no intention to buy a new cR. BUT THERE IS AN MPG INDICATOR ON THE INFOR STACK IN THE MIDDLE. This mpg inidcator seems stuck on the 28.1. How does this change? Every time I fill up I zero out the odometers .
@stephenpowstinger733 Жыл бұрын
There is also a mpg gauge between the speedometer and tach. You have to select it.
