      I had a 2011 Subaru legacy that I liked very much. I had all recommended maintenance and long story short the water pump froze and warped a head gasket at 94K miles. I like the look of the Crosstrek, but would be very hesitant to purchase another Subaru. Under the car was full of rust. I live in a mid Atlantic State and drive like : a little old lady".

Subaru are very nice and are not super high priced like some of these other brand dealers. I've never had a CVT transmission but ive heard good things about it. Most cars are outrageously priced especially truck and suvs. There's so many unsold...and repos at an all time high. Subaru isn't as expensive for what you get. Plus they have great warranties. Enjoy your new wilderness edition and have a good rest of the weekend.

    Subarus are incredible in the snow. If you don’t live where it snows, Toyota or Honda probably has the edge for reliability. But in the snow Subaru blows everyone else out of the water. A Subaru with all seasons is comparable to an awd rav4 with snow tires. And a Subaru with snow tires is basically a snow cat.

The Crosstrek allows me to carry all of my tools, photography equipment, bikes, kayaks, snowboards, etc and can handle all weather conditions and all of the offroad situations that I throw at it. The safety features are fantastic, the gas mileage is great and they are fun to drive. Truly awesome vehicles.

      Would have been nice if they had it for my 2013 Forester, with its oil consumption problem that led to catastrophic failure 500 miles before my next oil change was due.
      They had recently discovered this problem, posted a bulletin, and extended the warranty coverage to replace the engine if it caused a problem before 100k miles and 8 years.
      My car had 96k miles, but was 8 years, 7 months old. This of course was in June 2021, at which point many people had been driving a lot less for 15 months. Had I driven it normally in 2020, the problem likely would have presented itself at a similar mileage but before the 8 year mark (which was October 2020).
      It would take a lot more new reliability history for me to buy another Subaru. After wrecking my 2015 Volvo two years later, I am now the proud owner of a 2004 Corolla. It's not perfect aesthetically OR mechanically, but it drives fine and it cost me $1500, which was more than what a friend was asking for it.

I even replaced the transmission fluid at 40K to play it safe, and the transmission still fell apart.

Do I need to repeat that vehicle was in 'D' mode when the computer decided its time to full stop??!. It locked the gear shift, it locked the steering, it disconnected the electronic throttle. Even the Starlink emergency button quit. Subaru towed it away 3 weeks ago. If I had been on the freeway, not in turtle mode, it could have killed me! Not sure if I even want it back.
