I've never been a fan of small SUVs, but the Crosstrek is purposeful and honest, which makes it much less ambiguous to drive. It knows what it is, and what it isn't, and I think that's quite charming.

I just purchased a brand new 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness edition in that exact same Military Green color. It is a really cool looking car and you’re right, I think it’s by far the best color they offer for the new Wilderness edition.

It’s rated to tow up to 3500 lbs - transmission cooler helps give it greater towing capacity than all the other trims.

External cooler! You can see it chilling right there under the grill!

It’s definitely a nice car to have and be inside off. I’m worried about the maintenance. It requires more maintenance than other cars.

@AMMtheDriver 4 ай бұрын

So far I haven’t heard any complaints of Crosstrek’s needing excessive maintenance, but have heard that if you plan on doing highly challenging off-roading like Moab regularly, you should start planning for the replacement gearbox.

Got the Limited over this. Just couldn’t justify the worse mpg and less wet grip.

I just bought a Crosstrek and love everything about it except the front seat. After driving it for a few days, I notice my back was bothering me. I have tried everything and can't get my back pain to stop when I drive in this car for more than 10 minutes. I would not recommend this car for anyone with back issues. I regret buying this car. The dealership isn't much help. They will take it back for 5,000 less than what I paid for it.

My wife has fractured her back twice and she loves the seats in our 2024 Camry Hybrid.

Thank you! That car is on my list for a trade in.@@Raider19582

I went through the same on an 2017 model. Best thing is to buy a seat set with the back seat pad and head pillow. Also their higher models now come with Lumbar support. Should be standard.

@caryg4638 2 ай бұрын

Which model did you purchase? Did it have the power seat or the manual driver's seat? Sorry to hear about this.

@bostonnotary 2 ай бұрын

I bought the 2024 CTW.

I love my 2019 Crosstrek premium 6-Speed. The anti sway bar und the hood really limits any body roll. It’s a very nimble auto, 13-1 steering ratio is from the BRZ. The gear box has a very low 1rst gear.

Have you had the chance to drive it on snow? I see you're in Canada, where about? I ask because I'm in the GTA and wondering if winter driving of the CTW will perform well.

@AMMtheDriver 5 ай бұрын

Unfortunately not! These are super popular and hard to get ahold of for review😅 Given what dual function x-mode can do, you’d have to seriously try to get in trouble. That’s to say I imagine it would be an absolute blast in the snow

I love this segment. I wish they did more with it as there are so many possibilities. Ford came close with the Bronco Sport but its not quite there and its overpriced.

@user-ky1jp7ev8b 4 ай бұрын

The extra blank switches are for adding things like winches, extra lights, etc.

@DiaperGranny11 25 күн бұрын

Are those the interior switches? On the Forester Wilderness that same blank button is for the front camera. Wish the CTW came with one

Canadian spec CTW's do have heated steering wheels. Unfortunately, US models can't be configured to have one. Maybe next year's model...?

Haha! It’s just a demonstrator unit we got for the day to do photography with. It’s $40,500 before destination+taxes in Ontario though.

Subaru makes a great offroad platform in the Crosstrek. Subaru CHOOSES to not offer a standard transaxle. The car is perfect for a standard. CVT fanboys will sweat and wring their hands over my slight. Remember by CHOICE. I will look elsewhere as far as offroad.
