Here's Why the Subaru Crosstrek is a Crazy Bargain - 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Review

Bike test is a big advantage over the WRX. Just wish the Crosstrek came with the 2.4 turbo.

The "bike test' was the most essential moment in that video. Now I know that my bike fits the cargo area size.

I just bought one and your review really helped me decide.. I think it is great on the highway and the gas mileage is excellent. Very good on bumps too for a little suv. Cheaper than Toyota too

Bikes rule

here in Canada msrp for the Crosstrek Onyx (Sport is usa) is $37k - Stock is low and taking 6-8months to arrive after order...any dealers with one in stock are asking $43k - $47k - Crazy. I'm looking forward to the market crashing and these slimeballs getting stuck with overpriced stock

The bike test is awesome ❤❤❤. Love it.

You sold me, Love this car. I'm getting a green Wilderness when I can find one.

i ordered mine last May and it arrived at the end of August and i love it so far. no issues at all and drives great! though def not 24k like he said lol it was 36k and that was just the premium model which is less than what hes showing.

Nice drive. Last month I turned in a 2020 Limited, Pure Red, for a 2024 Limited in Alpine Green. Really loved the Red, but the Green warms my heart too. A little miffed that so many manual controls went from switches to the digital panel. Still learning it, and at 72, it's taking a bit longer. But it's all good, and I love the car. The only addition was adding Bridgestone Blizzaks for the winter here. Appreciate the video. All the best. "The JJ", SW Penna.

Why the F**K do you americans have japanese cars that cost half of what they cost in European country?
Listen this, I just looked at the price list (east europe country, average salary for 80% of the people is 700-800 euro a month)....
And here Crosstrek is 42-47k euros. That's a LOT!

You say it's 24k $ in the US where minimum monthly salary is how much?.........wtf?????

The mechanic refused to fix my Nissan XTerra, it has reached its end of life and he said it’s not worth it to spend thousands that I could use as a down payment on a new car. I am so glad that Subaru has a manual transmission. I am going out later to test drive one.❤

Nice presentation ❤

love the bike test thank you sir

I bought the same exact vehicle a few weeks ago. Loving it so far. I enjoy the bike test. My last car, a 2013 chevy impala, had the ability to fit my road bike in it when I folded the back seats forward. I think that's a good test and am SHOCKED to hear the the CR-V couldn't fit one.

The engine options make this a non starter for me. Why can’t they stick a 2.0L turbo in there?

I use quick release to pull the front wheel off my bike; I can get it in and out before the person in the next car can unstrap their Thule (mine was $25K, tiny touchscreen, 6M and the lowest power engine I think Subaru has ever made; easy oil change tho, and I love it like a golden retriever 😅)

yes but this car is not 24 k

In US market it is the base trim, premium, Sport, limited and wilderness.

In Canada:

Base
Premium
Onyx
Limited
Wilderness

The car looks amazing, what keeps me away from subarus is the godawful infotainment system. It's probably the worst I've seen in any new car.

I'm loving my 2024 Crosstrek. I love Subaru's implementation of adaptive cruise control. I drove a Camry for a while and hated its adaptive cruise control. You had to reset it to your preference every time you started the car. The Crosstrek will adjust the speed all the way down to a full stop. The Camry's cruise would disengage at 20 MPH and you'd have to hit the brakes manually.
The Crosstrek has "I" and "S" modes. The "S" mode gives peppier driving, but disengages when the car is shut off. Wish it would keep my preferred mode when shut off.

Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a much better deal and has a 10-year warranty vs Subaru 3-year warranty..

Is it got bigger trunk? Usually Subaru doesn’t grow

Bargain? 53,000 euro in the Netherlands 😡😡😡. About 58,000 dollar 😤😤😤

I just bought that car, in that color. And you just drove by my house.

Try to find one for $24000

I wish they didn't have those accent colors on Sport and Wilderness.

Good car, MPG. Its ok .but your mpg numbers are a bit exaggerated high

I snagged one of the last ‘23 CT Outdoor’s and like someone else mentioned, I like the knobs and buttons and handbrake lever. Oh plus it has a CD player for those us who have a lot of them . LOL. Totally love my Subie. One more thing I live in the mountains of BC Canada and it is a warrior in the snow and high elevations. ❤

I’m getting the 2025 sporttrek wilderness. I hv a 2015 forester now.
Mileage wise, when’s the best time to sell or trade in your Subaru?
Great video dear. Ty

Not happy with the motors bad gaskets warped heads also on mine no thanks.

HIDEOUS...fire all the designers! Trashy cheap looking...

Your not getting out of the dealership for $24,000, even for the base. I've been shopping/driving these and they are at least $28,500 with zero upgrades. Most are over $30,000 easy. In a couple years, it will be rattling and vibrating like most cheap vehicles. Good review though!

Honda and Toyota, watch and learn!

Unreliable boxer engines... period...

Whoa if I had known this car would fit a complete bike I would have bought one. Shucks. I already bought a used RDX which can fit a complete bike but barely.

Did you say $24 new? Dang. That's what I paid for my used 2016 RDX...USED I say.

thank you for not be obnoxious reviewer and keeping the video clean of "funny" comments

I just got the base 2023, 8 months ago manual, 25K Canadian, 21K US, cheaper than a VW Golf or Civic, for a WAY better car. The 2.0L is certainly adequate at sea level, not amazing but quicker than most give it credit for…. The 2.5L is powerful I’ve seen pick up insanely on the highway. I prefer the exterior of the 24 better, more cladding, slightly sharper look, but the interior of the 23 is better, nicer looking more physical buttons.

Thanks for putting the bike into the trunk! An issue for me as I will be downsizing from a Forester. A bit tighter in a Crosstrek but manageable!!

People who bike often have bike racks, they don't stuff it in the back.

It's not that the Crosstrek is so affordable. It's that prices of other AWDs are insane. The Impreza was still under $20K USD MSRP like just a year or so ago.

It's a versatile little car though. I use my 1st-gen like an SUV...hauling in the hatch, hauling on the roof, hauling on a hitch carrier, towing small trailers, offroading, commuting in snowcountry, etc. It gets better MPG hwy than even some hybrids, with my best tank averaging over 46MPG with the cruise set at 55MPH on flat ground. It has been pretty easy to work on too, but I haven't had to adjust valves, change CVT fluid, or change timing belt yet.

The ride and the rear legroom are surprisingly good for such a small car too.

MSRP means nothing nowadays because dealer will sell it thousands above the MSRP, plus tax, plus destination fees, etc. you’re looking at 5-10k above advertised price at least

Is Subaru still having cylinder oil gasket leaks and the motor goes at 125k?

Omg it's just horrible inside 😂😂😂

That bike won't fit without removing a wheel. My hunch without actually watching the vid 🫠

Your figures are it even close. Maybe you are talking us $

He’s talking about the sport 30,000

How tall are you that head and leg room are comfortable?

I bought one in 2022 and LOVE IT...

An XT model with the Wilderness package would be a great addition to the Subaru family.

Only way the Crosstrek is a deal is if you can get one for under 30k. So many in my area are optioned into the same money as the Foresters. I'd rather spend the +32k or so for the Forester than an optioned out Crosstrek.
