I had a loaded Jeep Wrangler Willy's that I thought was good in the snow. I took my Wife's Subaru Forester to fill up with gas during a snowstorm, and was dissapointed at how much better it was than my Jeep in the snow and it didn't require pulling up that stupid 4WD lever. Within a week I traded it for a new Forester and also got a $5,000 check back from the dealer, no regrets. The Forester gets almost double the gas mileage of the Wrangler and has much better brakes.

Subaru is still fully independent, but they have a partnership with Toyota, so share on a few things. Toyota owns a large stake (but not majority) in Subaru, and Subaru owns a stake in Toyota (a smaller % given how large Toyota is). This partnership has seen the BRZ/86 as a joint project (but Subaru did almost all of it). And it has also seen the Solterra as another joint project (but Toyota did almost all of it). Subaru also manufactured Camry's. And there is probably other things I'm missing. Anyhow, this connection has benefited them, I'm sure. But Subaru has also been very well managed in recent years. Subaru actually is one of the few small car companies that still has independence (operates independently) and that has been rather successful in recent times (and maintained its position). Most of the other small independent car companies (in Subaru's cohort / timeline of companies) have basically been fully bought out over the past 10-20 years, or have been in decline versus new rising competition etc. Subaru is an interesting company since they're small but have advanced manufacturing capability. They even manufacture Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopters for the Japanese military, and parts for commercial airliners etc.

I got 20,000 miles on it now. I do have a device to keep it from auto stop eliminator that plug under the driver's seat so it does not turn off everytime I stop. It plug and play factory plug so it does not hurt the SUV.

I spent over a month looking for the right car. By the end I was exhausted and figured I’d never find the car for me for the price I was looking for (under 30 grand). I wanted a leather wrapped steering wheel, “leather” seats, a sporty feel, all the new driver aids, good gas mileage, over 8” of ground clearance, a cargo space big enough to sleep in, AWD, and a nice interior. The RAV4 was too expensive for what it was. The CRV was also out of my price range. The Mazda cx50 is nice but MPG was meh and it was a new car, and not made in Japan. The cx 30 was tiny. I was about to give up until I found this. WOW! Thank god I didn’t give up. This car literally fits all my needs. What an amazing machine’

I just hated the way I was treated by Subaru when I had problems. I bought one new. it kept backfiring. I kept bringing it in complaining. Finally when it was out of warranty it backfired and blew out my catalytic converter. Then their mechanic told me it was backfiring because the (he called it) anti-backfire valve was clogged. He replaced the converter and the valve and no more backfire. They said it was out of warranty so I had to pay the whole amount. I even went up the chain in the corporation and sent proof of my reports. They said too bad so sad you lose. I will never buy one again.

head gaskets can still fail if there’s either a defective head gasket or incorrect maintenance but the head gasket is no longer prone to fail.

I also used a spring tool, to adjust the belt tension to specs. I had a couple of crackheads, I was able to find an automotive store that sent them out to a special truck shop that repaired them. The customers were so suprised that their cylinder heads could be repaired. I never ever had a come back, or complaint. They really are good cars, especially the manual ones. Good pickup, excellent gas mileage, those cars would go through snow unbelievable easy.

I hate SUVs, but I love the Crosstrek because it isn't really an SUV at all- it's just an Impreza hatch with a lifted subframe and more ground clearance. My mother needed a new car and was dead set on getting an SUV, I suggested the 2.5L crosstrek and she loves it. I don't have to worry about her rolling over on the freeway, either. I was initially skeptical about the CVT, but I've heard very good things about Subaru CVTs compared to other brands (mainly because they've been doing them for so long.) I test drove it when I was at the dealership with her and it's suprisingly good- the paddle shift control operates much quicker than a traditional automatic, and the way it will automatically step to different rev bands depending on throttle application was nice. It's also unbelievable in the snow. I intentionally tried to get it stuck in a snow bank to test the stability control, and I literally couldn't. I really wish they'd give up the 2.5L engine and give us a 1.6T or 2.0T that the Japanese Subarus have, though. The FB seems to be better than the EJ but I don't trust it. 2.5L in four cylinders will just never be a good idea for a normal car engine.

The boxer engine sits lower in the chassis - lower center of gravity.

My Subaru ascent is stiff intially, until I lifted it by 1.7inch with springs and install offroad tires. It rides very smooth even at 45mph on unpaved road.

Depending on the model year make sure you get the recall checked for your car

We own two 2018 Crosstreks. One CVT one manual. Both trouble free even when one of them is driven 25k/yr. I ordered an outback wilderness coming in next month for the bigger cargo and snappier 2.4t. Have to say they way they tuned that CVT should be done with all of them. No longer felt like a rubber band.

I've strongly considered buying a Subaru, but I've been hesitant because they use CVT. But, since you speak highly of the Subaru CVT, maybe I should be confident that buying one is a good decision.

I have a 2015 Crosstrek. Took it 50 miles uphill in the snow to work every day and back down 50 miles. Never had an issue out of it. I think my year had a 2.1l and I wouldn’t mind a 2.4l

The newer Subaru's are excellent vehicles, especially the ones with the CVT transmission. They are way better than the newer Nissan's with the CVT transmission.

Just picked up my 23 Crosstrek premium manual, before they discontinued that transmission. I couldn't be happier, car is solid. I owned several subarus and they are amazing all around great vehicles.

OMG love that oil filter on top of the engine, that should be the standard for all vehicles. Suburu DX was my first new car back in 1980.
