Bruh your presentation about the mechanics of the Subaru symmetrical system and the CVT was excellent. It's a description that I don't see on other car review channels. You're small, but I appreciate it. Well done.
Overall, not a bad car. Subaru should make blind spot monitoring standard too, as it is quite helpful. My oldest daughter has this exact car in gray metallic. Thanks for a review on a base model.
Adjust the side mirrors and center mirror properly, and you will not have a blind spot. No gadgets are required. Instructions can be found on the Internet, then test it on the freeway.
@@lorenschwiderskimy 24 Crosstrek Wilderness has blind spot monitoring and my 2016 Legacy had it too. Rather, keep my eyes on the road. BSD works great IMO. I was an industrial controls tech for 45 years and like my gadgets.
Because most people prefer things that look like everything else. They don't want to stand out. Everyone says they do, but when given the chance most choose something bland and unsurprising, which is why the most popular cars (SUVs) all look basically the same. Not only that, but they choose the most bland of colors - white or silver generally. What this guy doesn't get about the "sporty looking" comment he got is that it does look sporty, just not "street-racing sporty" but rather "rally-car sporty."
@@Juggernaut40KDM And in my case, after looking over the different cars within Subaru, believe the seats are the best. That is for me, the fit is good.
every cargo measurement but the one that tells me if it's comfortable as a sleep-in at the trailhead, the highest cargo floor to ceiling. it's gonna be lowest at the door but how much higher does it get?
Long term the CVTs have been somewhat hit or miss as far as reliability goes. However, to Subaru’s credit, they have extended transmission warranties on certain years/models with higher than normal failure rates on the transmissions. Unfortunately all modern automatic transmissions are so complicated (CVTs, DCTs, 8, 9, or 10 gears, etc) that none of them are as reliable as they used to be.
Dang good eye! I didn’t even notice that! I checked Subaru’s website and this base model I reviewed does have mounting points for cross bars, but if you want roof rails you have to move to Premium trim or higher.
Wish roof rails were optional on all trims. One without the EyeSight cameras would be great! Lumbar support for drivers seat, and height adjustment for the passenger, should be a standard. Oh well, this is life.
I think some people probably do call it that. The only other manufacturer that currently uses "horizontally opposed" engines is Porsche and they use the Boxer terminology, hence why the Boxster is called a Boxster.
