5 Reasons to Buy a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek

[@alexpmo]

What do you all think of the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek features?

[@fyrfytr9925]

Love the safety features and the road following headlights!

[@jeepinspence]

I like everything except the wheels and the big screen that loses analog HVAC. The wheels aren't as distinctive and burly looking, now they look like eveyone elses.

[@Isaiahscheel]

Sad to see no electric options. With Toyota RAV4 hybrid and plug in hybrid models doing so great and having amazing MPG, disappointed Subaru isn't trying some of those as well

[@ericmatsuoka7997]

Like the new rims and rear bumper cover. Not a fan of giant touchscreens, prefer some knobs with a smaller touchscreen. Wish a power lift gate was an option.

[@elgoogssie3969]

It's only a facelift rather than new gen

[@christophers5510]

*changing the climate controls from mechanical to touch screen is a HUGE negative*

[@Bob-Maplethorpe]

I prefer dials to touch screen for many controls. Love my crosstrek! Sad that I can't replace my manual 2022!

[@ericchin739]

Yeahhh I REALLY wanted the manual version But.... once I drove the 2024 Limited, I was sold hahaha

This is probably the best well informed detailed video I’ve seen. Thank you

[@alexpmo]

Thank you! Happy to help!

[@billreynolds6347]

Picked up our new CrossTrek Wilderness in Geyser blue today. We loved our 2022 CrossTrek premium but this Wilderness absolutely rocks!!!! Thank you for taking care of us. A happy repeat customer.

[@dgh5760]

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.

[@migueralliart]

After buying an ascent in 2019 with the extended warranty thru Subaru I would never buy another Subaru with a CVT. I got lucky mine got replaces and the steering rack was replaced twice. Only car I'd buy is the WRX with a manual transmission.

[@TheSpiffiest1]

Aww I like the old emergency brake handle. The electric switch version is not nearly as fun to play with.

[@daviddietz7655]

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.

[@PH-md8xp]

Agreed.

[@clarkflint7613]

Thanks for your videos. They have been a tremendous help. Just ordered my 2024 Crosstrek premium this afternoon. Test drove one this afternoon and impressed not with only the power of the engine but the weight of the car. I'm back to enjoying driving a vehicle again!

[@eddiethewhale3268]

Although I hate infotainment climate controls, I’m glad they made a dedicated section on the bottom of the screen for it, instead of burying it in a separate settings page

[@Airtayjay]

The 11” screen is hardly a reason to get the new Crosstrek. The removal of physical AC controls is a terrible decision on Subaru’s part. If safety is such a big concern of theirs why are they giving you more reasons to take your eyes off the road? We all know this is just a cost-saving measure on their part.

[@eskieman3948]

Really? Replace one of those 11.6" screens, and when you get hit with the bill, see how much of a "cost-saving measure" it is. Ouch...

[@ZeGermanHam]

@@eskieman3948 He's referring to reducing manufacturing costs, not reducing cost of replacement by the vehicle owner.

[@Airtayjay]

@@eskieman3948 Cost-saving for SUBARU. Why spend time and energy designing and building buttons, knobs, and the circuitry involved when you can just outsource a crappy touchscreen and slap it in there?

[@ErelasInglor]

Well said, this is the #1 safety flaw in many car manufacturers and some are paying attention to complaints from the consumer base and not installing touch screens that require constant attention when driving for car functionality.

[@991carreras3]

​@Eskie Man why would it need to be replaced these screens are probably the most reliable part in any auto. When was the last time your TV screen went bad.

[@robmccay3724]

I like that the screen sits lower in the dash then previous years (better visibility). It is a large screen, but you get used to it. You can preset your climate control before you start driving, leaving it off. Turn it on with one push of the button as the engine warms up. Good job Alex

[@tjjohnson927]

The limited trim should have included the upgraded sound system and frameless auto dimming rear view mirror

[@gexhi]

Totally agree with it why charge people another extra 2K for that

[@pamelafarris2707]

I went to purchase the cross trek yesterday. I felt so defeated when I realized that the back didn’t have ac vents. I have a Boxer and a French Bulldog that are easily overheated so no back vents are a no go. 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.

[@dominique3398]

The Forester Touring is a great SUV, you will love it.

[@Penandra2]

I love my Forester. Hope you and the pups enjoy yours, too!

[@4orrcountry]

Hope you test drove a Forester before ordering one. Foolhardy not to.

[@itwasaliens]

I just bought one, i cant wait for it to arrive .

[@theone4146]

The big 'bottle' holders in the trunk are for food and water bowls for the pet buddies

[@skyaker8241]

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!

[@tarody3953]

Seeing this I'm glad I got a 2022 sport, but I would love the increased towing capacity of the Wilderness.

[@xlprincess123567]

Just got the 2023 outback wilderness and used to have the Forester 2020 touring and to be honest I like the design of this better. I like have wireless CarPlay. It makes my car look more organized and not crowded.

[@toby7291]

Glad we bought a 2023.

[@richardharker2775]

There is a lot of tech to go through in new cars and your explanations cover it fairly well.

[@jet89pl]

you have sold me on this car, you are a great salesman, i have watched other videos about 2024 crosstrek but you have explained it very well

[@jonathandaoust7247]

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.

[@5610winston]

I got the 2023 Premium while the getting was good. NO CLUTCH, NO SALE.

[@johnsmith3279]

Would love for you to start including the MSRPs when you do these vehicle break downs (understanding that you're only showing us 1 trim/specific packages!)

[@keithcloutier4255]

I'm going to buy it out Subaru Crosstrek you made my day more easier thanks 2024 year.

[@4paritosh]

Why does power seat not have memory setting in driver profile?

[@janelking5846]

Ascetics...now you're speaking my language. I am on my 2nd lease of an Outback. First was a 2018, now a 2021, both limited, so I've never had push-to-start or moon roof. May move to financing a used '19 or '20 or just continuing the lease route. Love the videos you're making. Ive watched 5 so far on my day off.😁

[@DandyE44A]

I have a 2022 Crosstrek Limited for almost a year now. My first ever Subaru. I love it. This 2024 Crosstrek looks even better.

[@SkidzFPV]

I just put a deposit on a 24 premium, sun blaze pearl, can’t wait to get it. The dealerships don’t have any, one has a white limited but I wanted the premium so I have to wait a couple weeks unfortunately. But still super excited

[@lovelymoon3719]

Do you love it?? In a couple of weeks I’ll have the exact same car, same color too. I’m so excited.

[@SkidzFPV]

@@lovelymoon3719 I do love it!! I call it my little ibex, because it’s like a mountain goat, it doesn’t look like something you would take up a gnarly jeep trail but it goes right up some pretty crazy off road trails with ease. And it’s super comfortable, has all the bells and whistles. I’m a paraglider pilot so getting to the top of the mountain with my friends and all our gear is the whole reason I picked this car, and it’s absolutely perfect.

[@santu55ubito]

Really good job helping understand trim level. I just got a Wilderness doubt that I will ever go off road, I just liked it

[@kavehoskoui8292]

I am going to assume this is an American video! The packages in Canada are much different than US. The convenience package in Canada (the base model) has heated seats. It is prudent journalism to clearly state which market the product is reviewed for.

[@kingkiril]

I like this car very much. I think I’m going to get the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. I like the 2.5L engine and the fabric seats.

[@jfaycomedy]

[@robhodgson8401]

I just upgraded our 2022 Limited to the 2024 limited my dealer gave me a deal I could not refuse the new seats are way more comfortable then our 2022

[@ZeGermanHam]

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.

[@441meatloaf]

It is cheaper...look at the shifter....the previous gen actually has a better shifter and pleather covering. But now its just a cheap ass looking plastic knob with a metal stick exposed.....It actually looks like shit.

[@danielfair4675]

I've got a '21 Limited w/2.5 .... and I agree. I'm not inclined to trade mine in on a '24. Even when I can get what I paid for it 18 months ago as a trade-in.

[@theokayestmtber7877]

I also have a '21 Crosstrek & love it. As for the new '24 model, I like the exterior changes but the interior...not so much...definitely looks cheaper. I'd miss the physical knobs & the physical e-brake. The new seats look nice and getting rid of the gas cap release on the floor is a good idea.

[@bananaboat805]

❤ my 22 Sport so much! I prefer the smaller screen. I hate navigating screens while driving. It's better to have frequently used controls committed to muscle memory. Also, the cd player means I can raid old booksales for cheap as dirt cds/audiobooks. Lol.

[@theokayestmtber7877]

@@bananaboat805 couldn't believe a cd player was standard! One of the reasons I chose the crosstrek!

[@jeaners59]

I was going to get a new crosstrek but I got so used to the remote lift gate in my Outback and decided I would miss it too much so I got a new forester wilderness instead.

[@alexpmo]

Having one now, I'd also agree.

[@jeepinspence]

Are you happy with the Wilderness? Is the hwy mpg disappointing?

[@jeaners59]

@@jeepinspence I have put 3000 miles on it since purchasing and I am liking it. Most of my driving has been highway type and I think I’m averaging around 31mpg which is higher than the window sticker. I honestly didn’t buy it for mileage (2018 outback was feeling outdated so I got the new car bug). I just had the urge for a new car and since I previously had a crosstrek and don’t need three rows of seats the forester fit the bill for me.

[@kathyrappaport9245]

Super happy with my 24 Crosstrek with the 14 package. The dealer told me those compartments in the trunk are for the dog bowls

Would not buy this Crosstrek period. All physical controls were eliminated in favor of a granitic screen in the middle of the dash. Now you need to take your eyes of the road to perform simple tasks like turning on the seat heaters that require you to go through 3 screens. To make maters worse I found the touch screen unresponsive at first. The granitic screen looks ridiculous and the vehicle will not age well. This is cost cutting at it's worst. I thought Subaru was all about safety?

[@ErelasInglor]

Is there a trim level that doesn’t have the new, unsafe, and overly large touch screen infotainment? I would consider buying one except that they’ve gone down the wrong road with these touch screens. I’d like the option not to have them.

[@alexpmo]

Yes, the base trim does not have the 11.6" display. Instead, it comes with two smaller displays

[@ErelasInglor]

@@alexpmo It looks like the base trim still requires the use of touch screens to change cabin/miscellaneous settings and isn't limited to pure infotainment. :(

Great additions to Crosstrek. I have Forester & fits my needs & larger size & 2.5l engine. Will stick with a new Forester when time comes to get a new one. 😎

[@bananaboat805]

The only improvement I really wish my 22 Sport had was a driver side button to pop the hatch . A front camera would have been cool too. I'm glad they upgraded the headlights, upgraded to wireless and decreased noise is pretty sweet too though. HOWEVER, I don't approve of the large screen, and nixing the cd player and crank hand break (idk it's just physically satisfying). I LOVE my car. Seriously, I see others on the road and think...good choice, brother/sister!

[@nscalerailfan2457]

I don't like that huge screen. It seems that it would require too much time (with eyes off the road) going through the screens to access the correct screen just to find the HVAC controls. Is my concern valid or did I miss something.

[@ericchin739]

Nope, HVAC controls are always at the bottom and don't move. It's not THAT bad.

[@ericchin739]

Ahhhh!!! Thanks for the heads up on the gas door. I didn't even notice the lever isnt there! I am coming from a 2017 WRX, so a lot of little quirks of this car remind me of my WRX which is nice!!

Very disappointed in the plastic steering wheel at the Premium level. I also think the shifter console looks bland (so much open space). I do like the matte gray instead of the gloss black but why is there no shifter boot? Yuck. I'm not a fan of the loss of so many physical buttons either. Even though I knew it was coming, the demise of the 6MT bums me out as well as losing a real emergency brake. Geez, it sounds like I'm complaining a lot but I do like one of the features now included on the Premium - the LED headlights.

I just bought a 2024 Crosstrek Limited. I am very pleased with it but there is one point that is bugging me. This is my fourth Subaru, the others were Outbacks. When I got home from the dealer, the first thing I tried to do is program the garage door opener only to find there is no garage door opener buttons (aka Homelink) on my car, even though it is the highest level Crosstrek. I called my salesperson and asked why it wasn't there. I also looked through my Crosstrek sales brochure which lists several pages of options and nothing was shown. 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. I dug out my old door opener and will have to go with a clicker but do other customers think it is as annoying as I do and why isn't it an option, much less included, on every Crosstrek?

Yes, the rear gate opens by a button below the subaru logo. There is however no power lift gate on the crosstrek. If your Forester is equipped with the power rear gate, you can open and close it with the key fob by clicking and holding the hatch button (car must be off for this to work). You can also click and hold the hatch button on the left side of the dash (with or without the car running)

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.

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

Thank you Alex for sharing the new model video. I am waiting for the new Forester 😊

What about the sound system? My 2016 Crosstrek Premium had a terrible stock sound system.

[@jeffrey3498]

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]

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]

@@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 subscribed. Great channel for Subaru owners.

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??)

[@gbuske01]

Good spot for dog bowls on each side in the cargo area 👍🏻

[@perdidoatlantic]

Does it have the off/on engine thing? That’s a deal breaker.

[@joetarlos]

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...

[@shawntapp3456]

I have a sport 23 & love the pep but in 24 would prob get the premium because it is made in Japan

[@ELP1125]

Buyer: So why should I get the 2024 Crosstrek? Him: Well it has a new handle on the cargo cover 😂😂😂

[@alexpmo]

That and many other reasons to go with a 2024!

[@martinpollack2013]

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]

There is also a mpg gauge between the speedometer and tach. You have to select it.
