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....![]()
