I drove this car for 10, 000 km and it is going fantastic. I took it on long drive from Vancouver to Edmonton and then to Calgary. It's handling is amazing. Even the fuel economy on highway is around 7L/100 km.

I think this will be the future of cars and car engines here. Today. Half of all cars in Europe have 3 cylinder turbo engines. I could see it happening here. Just me

The predecessor screamed granny’s old Rambler . This one big improvement 😀

Good to see you again Sam! Keep up the great work reviewing these new vehicles without fear or favor.

i think im going to get the Activ trim. I regret getting the base model 2021 crosstrek. CVT is NOT good for any reason in today's age.

Great review! I bought a 2RS April 2024 (last month) and love it. I had a 2022 LT AWD before this new one. Big difference in just about everything. My 2RS is loaded with all the options, sunroof, driver confidence package, cargo liner, weather floor mats, cargo net, $27, 000. The color is mosaic black metallic with red accents. Sporty and sharp looking. I only have 785 miles on it, but no issues.

A friend bought the 2024. She got the base model. She loves it so far. Had it about a month. Took about 7 months to get it.

If these make it, and folks get some good miles on them, some people are going to hate that!

I actually like the Buick version of this platform better, less noise and vibration. And the Envista is quite good looking too. Excellent video as usual, sir. Thanks 🎉

big improvement. I am big and tall guy, we wanted go for used equiox but sales person say same price for used for brand new trax. we have a RS option sport package and badge and seats . Keyed ignition. and 22k sticker price for that. it is wonderful and beautiful style. we don't need onstar and wifi those are extra subscription

Enjoyed your review, Sam. I often do, you've got a pleasant balanced approach.
I'm actually considering trading in a Maverick for one of these and don't consider it a downgrade. Sure, I'll lose AWD during a winter storm, but the features I paid extra for, like the luxury package, are pretty much standard features here, and for considerably less money, and I can still get keyless entry and start which my Maverick doesn't have at several thousand dollars more.
Since I don't do weekend road trips like I used to, 98% of the driving will be commuting to work, so fuel mileage isn't a huge consideration, even if your results were a bit low -- I suspect temperatures played into that quite a bit. It just looks like a vehicle that for me will be comfortable, stylish, fun to drive, and still offer enough practicality for those things I need to run to home improvement stores for; even if it's not as quick as the Maverick.

Had look into getting one. But was concerned about the size of engine. Ending up getting a Subura Forster

Thank you for rating this for what it is. An honest and helpful review, showing it's weaknesses but praising it's strengths.
BTW, the Dodge Hornet is a LOT more expensive. The price removed it from my list immediately. Nice looking but overpriced.

Engines that are too small and to compensate they slap a turbo on it. Great engineering, it's officially the era of the disposable car.

[davestadt]

What is a Wet Timing belt?? I've heard povs stating it's bad???

[XMG]

that tiny turbo engine is a big reliability concern, got a strong feeling it will barely last till warranty ends

[shanew]

Looks much better BUT chevy warranty Lacking

[arentak]

There are hundreds of these in transit but none on any lots in my state.

[ElijahSmithVideo]

Between the price increases and noted building and scheduling delays, this new model has started to steal my gaze from the Maverick. Wish AWD was offered.

Y’all need to shine the tires before y’all do these reviews
