5 Reasons Why You Should Buy A 2024 Subaru Crosstrek - Quick Buyer's Guide

[@jessy4954]

I have a 2013 Crosstrek but getting the new 2024 next week :) super excited about it! I didn’t even look at any other cars. At 102k miles, getting back 11k for the 2013, always heard subs have great trade in value but never thought I’d get back (slightly over) half what I paid for it when it was brand new. Can’t wait to get my “2nd” Subaru car decal 😆😆

[@foresterboy2011]

I'm a UK 🇬🇧 guy and bought a 2011 as a toy and now my wife fancies a new car which is going to be the said crosstrek ( XV in the UK 🇬🇧)

[@foresterboy2011]

My toy is an SH Forester diesel 🇬🇧 UK option)

Thanks for this video. I picked up my ‘23 Crosstrek Outdoor (Canadian version) in April . It was the last one available. I did a lot of research before deciding on a Subie including the power train . As a retired mechanic I get the early issues they had and how they fixed them. The power train now seems reasonably bullet proof. I Aldo get the people who say the 2.0 is under powered . I have the 2.5 in mine and it powers up nicely in the mountains where I live. After driving Hondas for 40 years and also working on them and seeing where Hondas are going lately and their affordability, I found it was time to give these guys a try. Honda is not the long lived great car anymore. Also, Toyota own 20% of Subaru and have utilized one of Subarus engines in their models.

[@4orrcountry]

Boo! It SHOULD BE the other way around.

[@tuan056585]

You picked the 2023 is the right choice. Because it's the last year Crosstrek build in Japan. 2024 and beyond are build in Canada and US.

[@bonniel4325]

Good review, but they should have kept the climate control knobs. In the '24, I have to take my eyes off the road to adjust the air conditioner fan. It goes against Subaru's claims to keeping safety first.

[@itwasaliens]

There are buttons on each side of the screen.

[@tarzanguitar743]

Thanks, Great video! I’m hoping to pick one up tomorrow.

Hello I live in Brazil and we intend to take long trips around the country (On and Off Roda Leve). I've been researching a medium 4x4 vehicle for some time But here in Brazil I don't fear options so I have the following left: 1- SUBARU XV 2.0 2023. I didn't find any complaints, but we don't have many stores here either, only 4. 2- - Jeep Compass Trailhawk, a good car, but with many complaints and electronic problems. 3- Toyota RAV4 2023, an excellent car, but very expensive around here. 4- Ford Bronco Sport, good car, but uses a lot of fuel besides that Ford manufactures it in Brazil, that is, we have only imported it. What if the car happens to have a problem? After a lot of thinking, we found that the best option is SUBARU. What do you say?

[@shirleyphillips8936]

My first Subaru crystal Pearl White 2024. I love it. It has all the features I like without the big price tag. Only two gripes, there isn’t enough room to rest your right foot when using the automated driving features, and a cooler plug in the trunk would have been the icing on the cake. ❤❤❤

[@sunitjoshi3573]

Did you get the 2.0 or 2.5 L ?

[@anonymousbrowsing6726]

Good videography, and nice camera moves. This white sample looks pretty good.

[@Soul2burn]

well I just purchased a few hundred miles ago a brand-new Subaru crosstrek and I am thoroughly impressed. I sold my 2017 jeep wrangler to buy my new crosstrek and I haven't looked back i am very pleased with my purchase k k

[@blainebrian]

Love my 2023 crosstrek, i do wish it could fit bigger wheels and sat a little higher off the ground but there are still some mods i intend to do for exploring california wilderness. The engine is a little on the sluggish side even though i have the 2.5 liter 180+ HP model. I just wish there was a turbo option to live up the subaru need for speed customers. all in all i may do some things to make it faster, like an intake or dual exhausts but enjoy it as a commuter and the gas economy is great so i can't have the best of both worlds. It's a fun car to have and sits like a mini SUV with space to lug around my stuff. Highly recommend!

[@Mr.Datree_1989]

Subaru has to be the most attractive cars in my opinion!❤

[@KenKennedy5D]

Nicely done, thanks I'm looking hard at a Crosstrek!

[@shirleyphillips8936]

Go for it. I don’t think you’ll regret it.

[@spockis51]

Just bought my first Subaru, a 2024 Crosstrek, after decades of owning Toyotas and Hondas. The Subaru included so much more than the comparable Toyota Corolla Cross and cost many thousands less. It seems both Toyota and Honda are being greedy in pricing and counting on brand loyalty. Brand loyalty is one thing; but informed decision-making had me choosing Subaru this time.

[@Jmaninaz1]

I really like the Crosstrek, but I do not understand why, at least here in the U.S., you cannot get a heated steering wheel. Big miss for those living in or moving to a cold climate. I get that they are building it to a low price point, so you can't have everything, but I wish they at least made it part of an option package, and from what I can tell, it is not offered as part of any option package.

[@danielfair4675]

One of our vehicles has a heated steering wheel and I've used it probably 5 times in 6 years, lol. When damn near every car has remote start, it's not needed honestly. I've got a '21 Crosstrek Limited and I've never used the remote start once ... and we live in a northern state.

[@shirleyphillips8936]

The Canadian version has it.

[@daphoneguy934]

agreed

[@stephane184]

Used 2021 Crosstreks are selling $1-2k over 2023 MSRP here in Canada. 6 month wait for a new Crosstrek but yet dealerships are insistently selling used above MSRP stating they’re following the market.

[@economiccrisis9267]

The dealers are correct. The market is absolute dog 💩. Low inventory and high prices is the name of the game.

[@chocolatte629]

Yup. Isn’t that strange. Bought a new 2024 for less than a 2021 with 30k miles. Makes no sense at all.

[@4orrcountry]

​@@chocolatte629 That's because customers DON'T do their homework.

[@antonfernando8409]

oh that's not cool, I was hopping trade in my 2020 civic touring for a 2024 crosstreck touring, if the waiting line months, that's something to think about. And when trade in, they never give a good deal, I only got 40k kms in mine, almost new.

[@kingkiril]

Nice video. Still waiting for the sport trim in ice silver here in USA

[@DoolallyProductions]

The sport version looks much better than the rest of the line. I'll be getting one next year when availability should be higher.

[@arkos55]

The little yellow accents on the sport are so tacky.

[@DoolallyProductions]

@@arkos55 I saw one in person and I agree with certain colors it looks bad, but I liked it on the Ice Silver. I wouldn't mind the limited but the wife and I hate leather, but want the 2.5 engine so the Sport it is.

[@daphoneguy934]

I looked at one but just couldn't live with the yellow accent pieces.

[@liv0003]

The gold on the sport Is ugly, also the black out bar on the back🤢.

[@blainebrian]

i have a 2023 sport and i agree the 2024 has too many yellow accents. it's allot less noticable on the 2023 version, i would suggest the 2024 wilderness if it's in budget. love the black model colors and sporty look.

[@Sah6820]

my dream car

[@danielroberto9183-w8j]

Just purchased one and I'm very impressed by it. Limited with 189 hp. Comfortable, great visibility with lots of equipment. Got a very good deal on it.

[@AllStars2525]

Spot on!

[@ofcbob6391]

I see it DOES have "auto vehicle hold" but it is in the screen (ugh). Anyone know if you can opt it to always be ON?

[@cdf8821]

Unfortunately, you must turn it on every time you start the ride

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan]

Oh my goodness! This video still help me!

[@musicmaniac68]

Only thing I wished was that the seating position was lower. Ride height is fine.

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video

[@waynesong7632]

I only tell you one thing then you would not consider this car. When you get off the car, you pants would get dirt because the door did not cover the below edge. It's fine for a sedan because it's low, but for a suv, it's very hard to avoid the mud and dust.

[@danielfair4675]

Lol

[@ofcbob6391]

You should not be on the car, you should be IN the car.

[@arkos55]

They stiffened the chassis 10% not the suspension.

[@z1az285]

Made in Japan only trims. Avoid the US made trims

[@2bookoo4u]

The number one reason you shouldn't buy one is they are no longer made in Japan. I made that mistake unfortunately. Hopefully, it will last long enough to trade out of it next year.

[@Tales_of_a_Quacks]

Base and Premium are built in Japan, Sport/Limited and I believe Wilderness are built in the U.S.

[@justaguy6862]

I just don't like the cladding design. It makes it look so cheap. An alternative, more subtle design would be much better.

[@zacharyreynolds4303]

yeahh if it came with the same no cladding as the impreza, and in a sedan like the impreza used to, and if it were the PHEV like last gen that'd be like my dream car

[@jennyhwang3260]

All other auto manufacturers are designing up to date exterior styling, except Subaru😢 Maybe Subaru is so confident that people will choose their performance than how they look? Do a survey to find out how many people rather choose 2023 Prius over Subaru😅

[@PaulWalrus]

Just get a dark color then, problem solved.

[@danielfair4675]

​@Zachary Reynolds almost every mid-sized SUV's & CUV's have plastic body cladding around the wheel wells and along the lower body & front/rear bumpers. It just a normal thing now.

[@Kathiekp]

What is cladding?

[@fjg2896]

Good review!

[@OopingAnnA]

plz, Thailand

[@michaelflinn7784]

This is a lovely car let down by a horrid auto gearbox and a miniscule trunk

[@frankheimerle]

at 5:50 "with quick access icons"... are you serious? the display response is S L O W... that's S...L...O...W... they should be ashamed!

[@Doc1855]

The CrossTrek is too small for our needs, so we bought a Forester Touring.

[@robertsparks7244]

Don't want a CVT transmissions

[@danielfair4675]

You've never driven or owned one. I'd believe what I've read online to live my life too. 😂

[@mirceamunteanu4791]

The CVT isn't bad , I have an Impreza and a Toyota Rav 4 , but the 8 speed auto in the Rav 4 is way more responsive and direct feel

[@harrahphotoman]

Unfortunately, many manufacturers are moving to the CVT transmission. I prefer a good automatic transmission but they are more difficult to find.

[@bobbytepsa9567]

Got no guts

[@danielfair4675]

Neither does my 116hp 1990 240dl Volvo wagon with 350,000+ miles ... but I'll bet it'll outlast anything you've owned or ever will.

[@michaelflinn7784]

Horrible auto box and miniscule trunk 😮

[@shirleyphillips8936]

The trunk may look small, but it amazed me how much I could fit in for a long trip.

[@wantsanewvehicle]

no thanks..

[@Doc1855]

All new Subarus still have the same 34 year old gloomy, drab, boring, depressing, outdated, coffin Grey and Black interior colors that became popular in 1990. If Subaru really cared about what their “Valued Customers” actually wanted then they would of offered different interior colors on lower trim levels or Subaru would have offered a reliable hybrid system before the millennium. But Hell NO, Subaru doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the environment or their customers.

[@dvrn1]

Two reasons why you will regret your purchase…..boxer engine and cvt.. Rest in Peace

[@danielfair4675]

Is that the reason you don't own a Porsche 911 (it also has a Boxer engine). 🤔😆

[@dvrn1]

@@danielfair4675 Porsche's boxers are more reliable than Subaru's mainly due to the amount of money invested in R&D, which is technically not feasible for the latter. Porsche has enough reason to overcome the boxer's inherent flaws and can charge more from its clients.

[@danielfair4675]

@dvrn1 lol, I'd trust what I read online & post that too, guarantee that's where your reply came from. When you own either and put comparable mileage on them get back with me. Been there, done that.
