This car is perfect

I drove an IS350 when I took my ES in for service and now I'm hooked. So agile, nimble, and very responsive. Super-fun to drive. Amazing sound system and the NA engine is simpler in design, easier to maintain, and more reliable than other engines.

If Automatic transmission is mandatory then at least design a sporty, manly, stitched leather wrapped shifter, not the embarrassment that currently exists. BTW, fire the Nissan committee that designed and approved this one. 👎

I am not a style expert but the rear seems busier than the front to me. Turbos are expected today but I still prefer normally aspirated. This is an interesting alt to me but frankly it is above my price range. Bike test is great for comparison even though I do not own a bike.

I think the looks of the Nismo are starting to grow on me.

They are slower than their competitors but man if you go from a 10th gen civic or something like that, this car is a beast. It has enough power to slap you to the back of the seat. It pops when it shifts in sport +. The car drives itself on the highway 😂. I love it

Actually to turn off climate. You press the fan button and turn the dial all the way to the left. One little shortcut ive learned ☺️ Also the top right button above the right dial, is a shortcut that takes you to the climate screen

Why compare cars that are far apart in era? Of course a newer mustang will be faster. To me nothing can match the intake sound of a Bmw e92 m3. Mustang is all exhaust and I think a ostentatious sound. Anytime I hear a mustang pass on the road I am thinking shut the hell up that damn think is way too loud.

Great commentary

Lmfao. Those hood gaps. And the hood and bumper covers are 2 different colors.

Do like the vehicle very. Good Review. But, with what I would want the vehicle to have, it would be around the $70 range. Bit too much for me.

Great review, I'm debating if I should buy a ZR2 Bison with the diesel vs gas engine, I actually own a truck with the Duramax 3.0 L and it is a superb engine really, cannot say one negative thing about it but I’m tempted to the V8 because it's naturally aspirated, gas is easier to find than diesel, it is a proven through and through engine and cheaper to maintain. The Bison package,(I think it is called AEV package) is not cheap but very attractive to have if you do serious off-road but in my case I inescapably fall in the category of “non-off road drivers” who buy an off road vehicle “because it looks cool, feels strong”, anyway thank you for posting a concise and thorough review of this truck which for me was very helpful. Happy 4th!....question, do you think Bison's extras are worth vs regular ZR2?

Babied it for a long time

8:11 rollerblading on a canyon road driven by cars? Yeah that's a great idea, nothing could go wrong there.

It's in high demand in my area. There's a long waiting list at multiple dealerships in my area.

Slow and overpriced.

This car deserves more buyers. Its an amazing car especially with SHAWD.

should be forgotten, slow as hell.

Your observation on the door lock buttons made me laugh, mainly because so many new cars come with them, and I remember one of my clients had a CLS 550 with those same buttons... and it was a 2007! Nothing like a new car with more than 17 year old technology. Plus, the CLS buttons were only for locking the doors. There was a button the length of the handle on the inner part that unlocked the doors just before you pulled them open. At least the LR has buttons on all the doors.

Honestly, it’s the interior that sets apart the German sport sedans from the Japanese.

Excellent review. I particularly appreciated the comparative observations with other brands. Thanks.

Get a forester instead, much better car in every way for the same price more or less

Man. I hate to say it but i like the 100 more slightly smaller size, the crotch vent, the handle on the interior of the tailgate to get out when camping, the slightly better range, the way lower entry cost, the door interior grips are grippy and you instantly know their quality vs the plastic grip of the 200, the physical keys, the look of the 100 has grown on me. man i love the 200 but dude.. im in love love love with the 100 series. My 100 series is nice and been kept up with but i might dump another 10k into it soon as a thank you for being the most awesome vechile for me ever.

I have a 24 crosstrek and never get an average of more than 23mpg whether im doing a lot of hwy driving or city.

I wish the made something in height between the impreza wagon and the crosstrek. Back in the day, the impreza outback sport was somewhere in between. Not every car owner is taking their cars off road but the impreza wagon is really low.

Would be a better review if you didn't start sentences with "SO"!!! The repeated use of "SO" and "LIKE" is proof that the dumbing down of America is no myth.

I have been scouring the internet for bike tests because lug mine around EVERYWHERE and I sure would love to not have to take the front wheel off but alas nobody has done a bike test for the charge space. Until now. Thank you so much!!

We're a Subaru family, between kids and grandkids there's 7 late model Subies from Crosstreks, Foresters, Outbacks, and Legacy. Never any problems with any of them, no one gripes about how the CVTs work, seems everyone likes them. A couple of the grandkids wished they had more horses under the hood though, I just tell them to stop racing each other. I drive a '22 Outback Limited, my wife drives a '22 Forester Touring. Both of these cars are perfect for older folks like us.

Great review 🎉

How do you look at its reliability reputation which is a concern for these cars and maintenance cost which are huge given its luxury name? Is it worth owning or are you leasing ?

No manual......pass

If you want to buy something that looks offroad but you can't take offroad. Buy a new defender.

I bought a 90 3 years ago. It was the base model so $48k plus &2k for white roof and colr. 30k miles so far. Great little truck

Honda must be crapping their pants over this decision. The Chevrolet version has been such a disaster GM has issued stop sales orders. It’s hard to believe Honda would partner with GM on the first model year of a new technology. This can’t possibly end well.

LMAO... I'm doing some research on some muffler delete options and ran across this video only to realize that I own this car now 😂

How tall are you? How do I get max head space?

Nice car but $55k for a rav 4 is insane . Plastic seats for $55k😅

I prefer dated cars that don't look like spaceships.

I find it interesting that I was born in the sixties when some people had five or six kids and an SUV would have been handy. Now people have two kids max but we have to have a mini tank. Go figure.

I really like so many things about the Crosstrek, but the one thing that just has me cringing is that horrific start/stop feature. I know it can be disabled, but I hate the idea of having to disable it every single time I get into the car.

This car is $38k in dealership across Canada and its not worth that price

Negotiate online first, get all numbers settled before you go to a dealership. We have to get dealers use to this practice. They are called dealers for a reason, they want to talk you into the highest numbers. They want you to sign based on emotion and put you in debt prison. The dealership is the auto mafia’s turf, the internet and cash is our turf.

I love mine but wish it came in stick. Then it would be perfect.

They go for about 30k with 100k on them. 20-25 with close to 200k

Thanks for highlighting the foot print has increased. I owned a 2003 CR-V and it is smaller than the "subcompact" HR-V from Honda. My old CR-V was nimble and actually drove like a car but the current "compact" SUV segment across the various brands can no longer claim that based on pure size, turning radius, etc

has anyone found a tutorial in how to remove the door spears? Piece right behind the door lever? Mine is all scratched up and can't find a diy anywhere

This does not work totally for a 997.2 The rear compartment fourth screw is under the black trim piece held down by the other three screws.

You went on and on for over 15-minutes and I don't think you ever discussed the transmission. I think this car has a CVT, and many people of issues with this in many vehicles. Almost as important as the engine choices/

Can you fit a Milwaukee packout set in the trunk?

Surprised that need to remove the front wheels of the bike. A GLC can swallow my whole bike. Tested the PS2, the standard Weavetech fabric feels really cheap and rough to touch... The car in the video has the nappa leather option.
