2021 Subaru Crosstrek Review | Would Evie Drive It?

Considered that an option if you are cheap lol😂. Love it .

I love y’all’s videos. I love wagons/hatchbacks and this was a great video of a family using a wagon/hatchback. If possible would y’all do a review of an Audi A4/A6 Allroad? I don’t care much for larger vehicles, I’m currently in a 2013 Hyundai Sonata Limited and am starting a family this year/next year and want more versatility but not in a crossover or SUV.

I would definitely take the Crosstrek over a Bronco: less money, more ground clearance, much better economy, almost identical driver/passenger space.

Inline 4? Looks like a boxer to me.

Safety issue with manuals and eye sight. If it were to emergency brake it could potentially stall the engine if the user wasn’t expecting it, that’s my best guess of why they don’t do it

Impreza does not have a 2.5. Quite unfortunate.
You cannot have a Sub-WRX, in the 170-220 Horse Power Range.

I just bought a silver grey sport, paid $2000 adjustment markup price. I don’t like gray but there is no other color of choice unless I wait. This is the worst time to buy a car of my entire life. Hope the chip shortage will end soon.

awesome review....down to earth.....Evie is a sweetie....lucky Man.

Are you able to slide the center arm rest back and forth? I'm 5'0 and my arms are short. I like to be able to rest my arm while driving like I would in my 2008 Honda Civic.

Does anyone know if you can fit a rear-facing baby seat in the back and still have an average-sized (5’10”) passenger up front?

I agree this was a fun review and informative.

Dealerships in Socal are asking at least $2k mark up for these, and people are buying!!! Lol

I just got the premium version I can’t wait to start driving it thanks for the review.

Good review and fun to listen.

I feel like this video is made for the guy trying to sell the idea of buying a Subaru Crosstrek to their wife lol

I love the honest opinions from someone who doesn't really care about the cars. Lol. No biased, no holding back. Also Evie seems like the nicest person.

If you have not purchased a vehicle yet and can find a Crosstrek Limited then call your insurance with vin for quote.
My coverage cost $113/mo. lower than 2014 Touareg coverage.

You guys seems to be such a happy family. Love the energy and vibe of you all. Great review as well! Thank you!

Great review,
I recently picked up my 2021 Crosstrek sport. The engine auto stop makes no sense especially on wear and tear components and I live in Houston, Tx and a lot of stop and go traffic and it's annoying because it is not subtle what so ever. You have to remember to push the button to turn it off every time you start the car. I know there is a chip that can be installed to permanently turn it off but can not confirm if it will void the warranty. If it doesn't will be definitely installing.

Don't buy subaru. I own a 2021 subaru outback when it rains water enter through the passenger side door. I got a loaner car a subaru outback same issue.

Micah does better as a solo reviewer.

These are some of the best car reviews! As a family man with a wife and two young children I really appreciate the fun family perspective!

I love the Crosstrek but I hate the Sport's yellow trims on the wheel and the yellow "Crosstrek" on the seats.

I am late but love that leather jacket

That is the Cutest little one I've ever seen! Great video BTW, a new "Sport" owner!

Inline 4???

It’s funny how Micah always attributes power surges to turbo spools, except in cars that have CVTs. Then he gets an NA car with the CVT and somehow the power surge was fixed by different CVT tuning.

No Micah… you just hate CVTs because you have NO clue of how they work. You must be the least engineering-oriented pilot I’ve ever seen. You had no clue of how a planetary gear set works in your Rav4 hybrid review either and it was painful to watch you attempt to explain it to us and your wife.

The truth is that despite an unusual (to a geared transmission driver) feel and some shoddy reliability from JATCO and Subaru, CVTs are more efficient in delivering and managing power and thus more efficient in acceleration as well as fuel economy. They are smoother and make the car more predictable in its behavior. You just need to stop expecting transmissions to act like gears do: bi-polarly.

So would love for you to review comma AI.

Hello. Can you please review subaru forester sports? Well done car reviews - really informative!

If you baby the brakes and don’t press them hard the auto start stop won’t engage it almost never turns on for me. During the break in period there is a little CVT stutter from 15-10 mph buuuut it’s smooth after the break in period.

Thank you for doing this one! A few years ago (after both kids were grown and gone 😊), I downsized from a Honda Pilot to a Nissan Versa Note (2016 from Hertz Used). I'm still very happy with it. But I like driving & traveling, and am toying with the idea of occasional car-camping. It's doable in the Note, I suppose, for one person, maybe, but...haven't tried it yet. 😆 But the Crosstrek looks like it might be a (slightly) better deal for that. And it would also be nice to have a little more space to transport things, when needed. I'm not in a hurry, but I was thinking maybe the next step might be a Crosstrek. I really don't want to get back to the size/low mpg of a Pilot! And I don't need a lot more space for car-camping.

The other thing that entices me on this one is that it's available in Std Transmission! I learned to drive with a stick, and really really miss it! I miss the feeling of control that it gives. So, still considering this one! Thanks! 😄

PS: I would LOVE if you might include in your reviews of similar vehicles (SUVs/hatchbacks) a quick look at how much space could be used for a sleeping arrangements! That's getting more popular these days! LOL

Hard to get past the color

My 2019 VW Tiguan had a CD Player which comes in handy when Apple Car play gets glitchy or satellite radio fails. I’m 38 so I have CD’s from 20 years ago still. Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston lol

The CD player makes me happy! I am glad my new Crosstrek will have one.

Love the honesty and the new perspective

Great review. I'm also joining the Evie witch coven as well. Blessed be.

Inline 4, it is horizontaly opozed flat 4. Its SUBARU Micah!!! Up to see...

Love this series! WWED!

Love this!

Is the manual better or cvt?

I would get one of these if the manual transmission model was available with the sunroof. Unfortunately, Subaru punishes buyers who prefer to shift for themselves.

Y'all better be crossing your fingers & toes that none of the Ford Bronco Sport's recalls don't trickle down to it's bigger brother.

No LED's in the Sport is lame.

you two make a great couple.....

If Subaru would equip it with the wrx drivetrain with the 6 speed manual then I’d be interested. That would be a fun but practical variant.

I'm waiting for them to stick the WRX or STI engine in the Crosstrek. I really like the looks of these, but as an STI owner and someone who likes going fast off-road, the Crosstrek is seriously underpowered! I want a wrecked crosstrek and make it into an STI...
