This video was so well made I felt obligated to like it a quarter of the way through. This is the first video I've watched from your channel and you definitely earned my sub. Keep up the great work!! 👍🏽

[arsalanmahmood]

One of the best comparing videos. To the point.

[minnybiker]

I initially wanted the Crosstrek. Sat in it, and ended up feeling much more comfortable in the Outback.

[danieldodson]

In the US, the turbo Outback is tuned for 87 octane regular gas, not the premium mentioned in the video.

Excellent video this is what I was looking for to be able to see the difference on paper so to speak! Big Thanks and a thumbs up!!!

[nelsonvanvickle]

Anybody who’s test driven these two cars knows the OBXT is superior to the Crosstrek in all the things that actually matter- power delivery, comfort, passenger comfort, cargo capacity, roof rails and amenities. There’s really no comparison. The CT is just a smaller, cheaper, underpowered version of the OBXT.

[bradbaraniuk]

between these 2 i would get the outback.with the turbo, more cargo room is important to me.if i wanted a subaru i would get the forester, over these 2

[planesandbikes]

Main thing is I no longer want such a big long lumbering car as the Outback. I like the nimbleness of the CT.

[paindoc]

My 2024 Outback XT (Turbo) takes regular gas.

[CsawBoots]

The turbo doesn’t require premium fuel.

[chrispritchard]

Great information Justin, still in or radar for a new car!

[niranjang]

Thanks for the video Justin, how reliable is the base engine on the outback vs the turbo..which one ..I wish to keep it for long time..regular daily drive and occasional long drives..

[boarderm]

My Outback Wilderness takes reg 87 gas. No premium here.

[mattheviewer]

Does Subaru Canada request Premium fuel for Turbo Outbacks? The USA version is quite happy with regular fuel.

[rundix]

If I wanted more space I would go with a forester. The long station wagon look doesn’t appeal to me.

[donaldmcleod]

We wanted the manual transmission so we got the ‘23 Crosstrek. Too many CVT horror stories.

[jeankelly]

Well it looks like you can read my mind.

[robertgretter]

I'd buy a Mazda CX 5, CX 50, or CX 30 before either. No CVT.
