Is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport a better SUV to buy than a Jeep Compass?

FIRST DRIVE: The all new Crosstrek is here and Subaru boosts performance with the Sport. This vehicle goes up against the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Jeep Compass, Jeep Renegade, Toyota Corolla Cross, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-30 and Nissan Kicks. On the outside you will find unique gold trim, 18in wheels, black accents & a sun roof. On the inside there are special seats, 11.6in infotainment system and gold trim. Under the hood is a 2.5L flat-4 that produces 182HP & is mated to a CVT with AWD. Is the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Sport a better SUV to buy than a Jeep Compass?

Best car reviewer on YouTube in my personal opinion. Not biased or afraid to point out things he doesn't like. A very rare type of car reviewer.

When I started shopping for a new car I had heard about the Crosstrek Sport and after careful consideration I narrowed it down to the Black and the Sapphire Blue. This video helped cement my decision, I look forward to driving this car off the lot some time next week. Thanks Joe for the honest feedback and review.

As usual, another great and honest review.
I'm on my 7th Subaru since 1993. Each ran over 175, 000 miles and never a major issue. Also, never got stuck anyway. No matter high the snow or how muddy the roads were. I think this new Crosstrek will be my next one. Again great review.

Loved my ‘15 premium. Drove it thousands of miles through sand, rock, mountains, mud, snow. Never stranded me & I pushed that car to its limit. Now seriously considering returning to the brand with a ‘24 Crosstrek Sport or Limited.

Great review! I just placed my order for a 24 Crosstrek Sport in Magnetite Gray. Coming in three weeks!

I have a 2020 Crosstrek limited and one of the major factors in choosing it was how roomy the rear seating area is. It doesn’t feel tight at all and the knee room is similar to a large SUV or luxury SUV. It’s actually a place I wouldn’t even mind being on a long cross county trip, I find it that spacious and comfortable compared to the Crosstrek’s competitors. With how many features and useful touches Subaru has on the Crosstrek, I’m astonished that they sell it at the price they do when considering how many other brands are pushing $40k+ just for some simple and unexciting vehicle. I agree with you one hundred percent about the fuel mileage! It’s absolutely magic they accomplish those numbers with an all time AWD system when the competitors are part time and struggle with lower fuel economy. It wasn’t that long ago subaru would get low 20s on the highway for fuel mileage, now it’s easy to get 30s with their new technology. Truly amazing

[markaruski]

Nice review Joe! Would be great if you'd reveal whether or not a spare tire comes w/ the car. Thanks

[samsonvladislav]

Great and very detailed review! I am really cobsideribg a crosstreck sport now, as opposed to others in the segment.

28:49 I leased my 2020 Escape Hybrid Titanium because of your review of it. I absolutely love it. The Crosstrek was going to be my next lease in Oct. Your review solidified it. Thank you so much. Great video. 👍👍

[diamondknight]

Just bought a 2025 outback limited. While at the dealership, I noticed a bunch of cars parked basically in a field next to the dealership. I asked the salesman what was up with them. He said they had a hailstorm that ruined around 150 of their cars. Anyway to make a long story short, ended up also buying a new 2024 Crosstrek sport for 18k. Yes has some hail damage, but not that bad really. Wasn't planning on buying 2 new cars, but to good a deal to pass on.

How do the speakers sound without the Harmon Kardon system? Too bad they don't offer it in this trim
