Subaru XV Crosstrek

Sweet 27s you have there!

- I think you may be changing my mind about the XV. My friend really likes it and I have been on the fence about it. I like, as long as it looks less like a wagon, which you have successfully done! LOOKS GOOD!

Really? I mean if I was forced to drive a Subaru then this might be one I wouldn't hate as much as the others but to me I have never seen a Subaru I actually liked at all. Sorry no offense intended, I just don't see it. They all just look like rental cars to me, boring

Is there any mid range priced automobile that doesn't look like a rental car today?

Rental car? Seriously?

I was being sarcastic about the 27s! This same friend drives an Accord daily, but does own a TJ.

Nah, not a rental car ... but it does look like it should be driven by a high school cheerleader!!!

JUST KIDDING

Wormy, I think the main point here is, which you already know, ALL pales in comparison to the VehiCROSS!!!

My wife wants one, I like them a lot, however I really don't think they have enough power. Would like to see the xt motor in it even if its with a cvt. The 2nd gen forester is the best, but too much like a volvo for the wife.

My buddies got one! Loves it when its not in the shop for warranty work! I'm a Mitsu EVO 9 RS fan boy myself!! I like to make corvettes cry mommy! Although I have run into some fast one's at the track they have to be running 10's or better to catch me!

Well heck, everything pales in comparison to the VX!!!!

I defend Subaru to the bone though. Having had a tuned out, modified WRX and STi, and now this (ya, the Crosstrek is actually quite boring to look at), none of them has ever given me any issues. Whether its ABS, broken power windows, or... or.... ah, heck, the Crosstrek suffers from oil consumption ( ).

In any case, I still have trade-in remorse from trading in my most fabulous STi for the Crosstrek, but a fun project is an expensive, I mean, fun project.

Yes, the Crosstrek is amazingly underpowered. Amazingly! I hate that fact, but at the same time, it would compete against it's own brother, the Forester, if it had a boost. However, it does make me wish they had a Crosstrek XT pushing at least 225hp. And with the EJ255. Which is going the way of the dinosaur....

Yeah!! Amen! I'm tired of pouring $$$$ for the garage queen!!! LOL!! I do drive my VX all the time now, so I agree the VX WINS!!!

I can always start a Kickstarter and get a Crosstrek/STi swap project off the ground....
