How well does a lithium battery work when submerged in saltwater after a hurricane?? 😂😂😂
I’m getting tired of saying this but most cars are $5000-$7500 overpriced.
Many cars haven’t had major overhauls since before COVID but the cost has gone through the roof.
Great little car.
Any idea when you’ll be reviewing the new Subaru Solterra?
Consumer Reports never met a Subaru they didn’t like.
This is the one model that I think Subaru should have stuck with the older styling on. It looked great as more of a wagon that didn’t really look like anything else on the road.
The Crosstrek is not an aura of off Roading… I’ve had my Crosstrek everywhere. My jeeps have gone.
No Spare, No Sale. Especially considering how they market these.
a good and thorough review – this vehicle merits consideration – would like some commentary on the cost of collision insurance being included within a review. Perhaps using a reasonable deductible plus good driver status
