Always remember Ford play a roll in why Subaru is a good vehicle..
I love this guy and I am right below you in Delaware
Question about 2016 Civic Ex 2.0 Vtech. All the lights on the dash came on ABS, airbags ect. Battery alternator checked with volt meter come to find out it was a bad abs sensor on passenger side. Secondary issues is harness going to the abs connector on the engine side few inches right by the connector also fried. Checked the sensor by unplug in it and setting my volt meter to ac and spinning the hub nothing at all 0 volts. Honda said sensor 55.00 plus engine harness 490.00. Cut out the few inches and solder new wire to the existing good wire to the connector.? Or will that give me issues with codes.? Still not sure what happened to the wire being fried. Nothing rubbed against it and it was clipped away from touching anything with original push clip. Ground is good. Please help
Their racing cars are AWD. The BRZ toy is RWD. Cheers.
It’s got a built in screen!! Exactly!, who wants a screen that looks like an afterthought that was glued onto the dash. So many new cars have the screen added on looking; a dust and crap trap that looks like it’s a design abortion. l PLOP here is your screen dummy, we’ll glue it on here. NO! Make it flow please or it wont be mine.
People like scotty are what the world needss more of. Thanks man. You make the world just that much brighter for us to see.
Owned a subaru cost me a fortune in repairs..bought a toyota..no repairs
When Scotty says Tesla is better than Toyota, that's when I'll worry.
Honestly, Tesla will never be better than Toyota, but with the planned obsolesence route Toyota has been going down recently with their newer cars involving smaller engines and recalls, Toyota may be no better than Kia and Hyundai as they are now in about 15 years time. EVs do not help either. The future of buying used cars will be buying hybrids with batteries that are almost at the end of their lives and need to be replaced for a lot. Simliar to a EV at that point.
Yikes.
@@faheemabbas3965 smaller engines?? you mean emissions standards they have to follow...
You post the same sh1t in every Scotty video. We get it, you don't like EVs.
@@octoslutexactly ...emission standards are ruining vehicles
@Thomasking19933- older Subaru's from the 70s/80's were excellent vehicles..so if they are going back to there roots,thats a good thing
Got to test drive my friends new 2023 Crosstrek S Model, he bought for $45,000AUD (australian).
This is a REALLY good modern SUV. Great value. I think this Crosstrek definitely will be competition for the Big 3 SUVs market.
Keep hearing terrible stories on how bad Subaru transmission are
I have a wonderful 2010 Impreza with less than 70,000 miles. I love her and we will likely share the same grave.
No problems in thirteen years.
this man is a national treasure
just bought my first toyota ever ..a Toyota cross 2022 and I now see why people like Toyota. .Great economical cars
You won't regret
Toyota owns a chunk of subaru now so some of toyota's enhancements are boosting subaru but its still a subaru. The AWD system is still a nightmare to diagnose. FYI, I currently own a Outback XT and had a Forester.
Here is a small detail I noticed: the front corner of the door's window goes all the way up to the A pillar (the metal on the sides of the windshield). My beloved 2008 Caddy DTS has a black cover there to hide the mirror mounts. This makes the bottom of the A Pillar really wide; you can easily hide a pedestrian behind it. This means you really have to watch out when you are driving in crowded areas. Nice to see Suburu (and other brands like the Versa) taking care of this problem. --Old Guy
I rented one and the visibility was awesome.
subarus are FAMOUS for blowing head gaskets!!! weird that you woudl not know that.
I have a crosstrek with a 6 speed. If they made manuals with 2.5s optional maybe they would have sold more manuals
"Japanese make the best quality cars" 20,000 miles and the armrest is falling apart and the cig lighter doesn't work. 😂
I was shopping for months for a used RAV; got a 24 Crosstrek instead. They just dropped them to dealer price for the Labor Day Sale...got that sweet 10 year warranty 😉
Dealer price is invoice minus holdback. That's way lower by a thousand bucks than MSRP.
Lucky U!!! 🤗
I love my Crosstrek; it's one of the last ones Subaru will ever make with a manual transmission. However, I'm sad that Subaru decided to stop making a five-door WRX.
Both of the BRZ/86 transmissions are actually from Aisin. I don't know about the 2nd gen (too soon to know), but in the 1st gen the automatic was actually much more reliable than the manual.
Toyota for life for me!! It’s personal preference! Subi’s are a good ride but their build quality is nothing compared to a Toyota!
We have a 2021 RAV and actually love the soft ride for long trips but around curves it handles like the Titanic 😂😂😂
That CVT really burns my gears 😡 I worked at a few dealerships, and I absolutely hate CVTs, and Volkswagen. Bought a brand new 2018 Passat, and nothing but immediate problems with the ECU, Electronics, and other issues that are a great dangers to life.
Sacrilege !!! Scotty not supporting Toyota anymore ?!? Now Subaru's ??? 🤔😁🤣
Toyota owns a 20% stake in Subaru. So how is Subaru declaring war on their business partner.
But they don’t own 80%…
Same thing for Kia declaring war on Hyundai.
My wife and I have war every night .
@@danileli8652sounds like great onlyfans content
It is an 80% war
"Don't chance it by putting crazy modifications on something that's fast enough already." What is this "fast enough," of which you speak? -- Sincerely, the owner of a 400hp WRX
Scotty you need to stop you know dam well that the rav4 is better then that crap.. who cares about the wife give her a bucket 😆
Well one thing SUBARU SUCKS NOT MATTER WHAT I'M HAPPY WITH MY HONDA AND TOYOTA CAMRY SUBARU STILL STINK MY FRIEND SUBARU BLOW THE ENGINE WITH 90K MILES MY HONDA HAS 380K MILES AND MY CAMRY HAS 290K MILES SO THAT MEANS SOMETHING
We've had 3 Forestersin our family, awesome car, very reliable. It's a Billy goat in winter, just a great vehicle!
It probably would handle better on the road. The RAV 4 is an SUV. The Crosstrek is a car based vehicle with added ground clearance.
Had a 2002 Subaru WRX. Scotty is right they have amazing AWD. I took it off road, drove it in sand and in snow and it never had a problem. Launched like a bat out of hell too. It was driven extremely hard and blew the head gasket at 95k miles. Hellava car
I've still got mine with 245k on the body and 170k on the engine/ trans
Still so fun to drive and other then the engine and transmission blowing up 6 months after I bought it (in April of '07) its been solid as can be
95k miles is super low for blowing anything except for tires.
@@senseicorey9979other than the motor and trany blowing....the 2 most expensive parts to replace.....it's amazing, what low quality people will accept sometimes
@@richsweeney1115 yeah that was ....15 years ago?...
@@senseicorey9979 but still...I've had fords,and hondas that were maintained well, but driven hard, and had over 250k running perfect when I sold or traded them. I they were all exellent. Buti wouldn't say that if they blew a motor andtranny by 95k
My daughter had a Subaru and it died two times in the middle of the freeway. Could not find anything wrong.
How old is this video? The Subies now don’t start in the 20’s.. these Sport models start in the 30’s. The ‘23’s will have 4 trim levels. If you want the 2.5L, those two with be built in Indiana. The other 2 trims with the 2.0L will be made in Japan.
But the Subaru cvt transmissions are very poor. Lucky to get 120k out of it.
Scotty is no mechanical engineer.. put down the Kool aid Scotty.
Scotty a 2010 Subaru outback 165000km blew a head gasket and rear diff
I'm not convinced Subaru have fixed that but maybe the newer ones are OK
Great video scotty. Thank you for talking more about Subaru. I love it. Keep em coming.
Scotty often flipflops. He would make a good politician.
Budget for the head gasket.
I got nauseous in the RAV when I test drove one in 2020 because (I think) the slope of the windshield. My wife had the same experience.
I own a Crosstrek for 5 years now. I rented a new RAV4 and drove my family in FL, we realized our Crosstrek drives smoother and more powerful than the RAV4. I love our Crosstrek.
My headphones just blew up and all I see is Scotty conducting the All Wheel Drive Orchestra.
Well, in a few years wait til he finds out the engine seals all leak. A known (and Subaru admitted to) problem with the boxer engines and the liquid sealer. A $5200 out of warranty problem, he will wish that Rav 4 back, rough ride and all.
Can you have a mechanic put sealer on? To reinforce...
Unfortunately, lots of manufacturers now use the silicone sealant on the engines. They only last like 100k-140k miles before the silicone sealant breaks down.
They have to tear the engine apart to reseal it. Sad but true.@@pamspencer5733
This one, mine, 86,000 miles and it has been leaking for a few years. Since it is almost 8 years old, I;l just keep checking the oil and filling if and when needed. @@_morgoth_
Birds look at Scotty and think How is he still on the ground ? LOL
“That’s all you do? Bird imitations?”
I love my '23 crosstrek sport. Best car I've ever owned.
Auto stop can be shut off in settings.
But as soon as you shut of the engine it come back.
@@ericpizarro3084 True. Turning it off is the next button push after agreeing to the safety warnings. No biggie. Although you can purchase an aftermarket device that plugs into your wiring harness that “remembers “ your last choice. So if ya turn it off it stays off.✌️
To bad Subaru doesn't have a hybrid van or mini van
Subaru really is building great cars these days. We love our Outback.
We love both our Outback and Forester Touring !
3 Outbacks in the family: two 2011s and a 2020. Love em all!
My 2013 Rav 4 has the absolute worst suspension that I have ever felt. What made it worse was the guy I bought it from put 80,000 mile Michelin tires on it. Rides like it is rolling on round stones. 👎🏻
Hey Scotty in November of this year.
I will drive 160 miles a day round trip for work.
I Drive a Mazda 6 2021 Gran Touring only has 17k miles.
I'm a custodian and I worked at the same school for 24 years.
I'm looking into Hybrid.
Since my car has Turbo I have only used Premium Gas but that's gonna get expensive.
2 questions is it safe to use 87 or 89 and keep the Mazda I have 3 years left on my loan.
Or trade or sell it and get a Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE AWD we get snow in Ohio?
You are the best thanks for all the great videos.
can you do a video with Jay Lenos Garage?
How can you know if a motor is an “interference engine” or not? Plastic front cover verses metal front cover?
My Subaru was the easiest car that I have ever owned to perform periodic maintenance
Toyota owns 20% of Subaru…😂😂😂
Oh that's so so funny! Love l it! Love it lollmao ur so funny lol ha ja
Shhhhh don’t let the people know Subaru has access to Toyota technology. Shhhh on that thr new Subaru engine was designed with Toyotas help
I'd love for you to do a review on a more recent legacy (2019-2024)
We all can become delusional in our old age!!!!
28:59 It goes like stink? I’m waiting...
I live in a suburb of Cleveland, Oh. I use to own a 2008 Chevy Malibu with front wheel drive only, and i never got stuck in the snow. I had Bridgestone Blizzac snow tires, and I never plowed the driveway.
Scotty is a trip 😂
BOOOM blown head gasket!
IMHO it's definitely worth it to buy a Crosstrek with the 2.5 L engine. You're only sacrificing a couple mpg vs. the 2.0 L engine.
I wanted a manual
Does it come with manual?
@@pamspencer5733 the manual could only be had with the 2.0. i have a 2.0 manual, but i believe the manual is going out. sadly, because i like it.
a 2.5 manual would have been nice. our society is full of lazy people that cant be bothered learning how to shift
Hi Scotty. 22 years ago my wife had a Toyota Alltrack AWD and I had a Subaru Legacy station wagon. Both were about the same height off the ground. We live in Longueuil just south of Montreal and apart from modern models having traction control it is basically the same AWD system being used today at Toyota on their RAV4. Now handling of the Subaru was indeed better BUT if you had 8 to 10 inches of wet sloppy snow on the ground the Toyota did better because it had a button for locking the rear differential and she had better winter tires (Pirelli) than me at the time (Nokian). And her car could do circles around the Subaru during these worst of conditions up to 10mph at which point the rear differential would unlock. But just the same I tested this many times and Toyota had the advantage. So I know you said this guy was getting stuck with his RAV4 but quite possibly his tires even though studded might not have been well adapted to the vehicle. Also the Subaru Crosstrek Sport has a good inch of additionnal ground clearance and a 2021 model has X-mode which is fantastic in that it emulates a limited slip rear differential but nothing can beat a locked differential under the worst conditions. As good as the Subaru is and I have a 2019 Outback which I love, I just wonder how it would do against a 2019 RAV4 with the same tires.
Love my ‘11 wrx. No modifications. Lots of fun. 105,000 miles, no issues. Tires last 50,000 miles. Besides brake pads, rotors, oil, only did the 90,000 recommended service.
Although the clutch will go at some point and that will be $2,000
That’s funny. Someone forgot to tell my friends 2017 Subaru that they fixed the head gasket problem. I guess you’ll have that.
Someone forgot to tell my 2014 Outback with an F series engine as well…
Wish Subaru come with 6 speed manual for the 2.5
When I visited Colorado a few years ago, all I saw was tons of Subarus.
Scotty ur thinking just like I was saying out loud watching this! 😂
I would’ve SOLD the rav4 and paid cash for the Subaru and had cash left over!
12:35 chonkers crossing the street lol
!! Subaru people Love their Subarus, they will tell themselves anything to justify having to replace a blown engine and trans YEARLY! Myself I would never buy a boxer engine Subaru, I don’t care what year it is, but hey I respect it that’s dedication!.. All my friends who’ve had WRXs foresters etc. we’re always on their 2nd-3rd engine/trans minimum🤣 but for some reason that I will never understand, they loved them… My one friend decided to LS swap his WRX after destroying his 4th engine, we all laughed so hard about it being the smartest decision he’s ever made🤣 and it was, he’s put over 80k mi. on that old LS and it’s still going strong.
The cvt reminds of the transmission on the Suzuki Burgman 650. Being a scooter it, of course, had a cvt but it was a genius gear driven forced compliance system. As far as I know they are reliable. You could put it in standard cvt automatic mode but it also had button shifters and a separate overdrive for highways.
I just took delivery of my '24 Mazda 3 Sport GT Premium Manual. There isn't a single car currently on the market that I would accept as a trade for it - and I'm talking even supercars. Basically, literally any car at any price that still has a manual transmission. That's how much I'm in love with my car. That most definitely includes anything produced by Subaru.
Love Japanese cars, but not a fan of Subaru. I don't understand why they make them so ugly! The new WRX is one of the ugliest cars on the road, IMO.
I did a timing belt on my 2008 Impreza and it ran better than before. And it was my first time ever changing a timing belt. So I don't understand why all the wining about not being able to set it up right. Easy!
I’d leave the wife at home she won’t get carsick there 😅
and it had a CD player... a. bonus!
Ive always said this, If you know how to take care of a baby you can take care of a Subaru. Subaru is like a baby
That infotainment is in a good position, not too low and not too high. They should be aligned with the gauges
After 5K I traded my new CX-5 in on a new CX-30. The AWD made the bigger car float around too much, just like the RAV. The increase in control in the CX-30 was amazing and just as good a ride.; same 2.5 engine delivered the same power to the smaller car. I’m a happier camper.
Subaru's were always good reliable if underwhelming vehicles my mom drove a 1986 XT turbo hatchback until 1993 when the head gasket blew with roughly 115,000 miles on the odometer personally I like Toyotas better my dads 79 Corolla station wagon ran until 1986 with 120,000 miles on the odometer or better yet my moms 05 Hyundai Sonata had roughly 160,000 miles on it when it was totaled in a state mandated inspection drive in Nov 2019 and in replacement of that dad bought a used 2011 Cadillac SRX with 133,000 miles on the Odometer and its now around 170,000
Subaru is extremely reliable I know quite a few people with them however I think Subaru and Toyota are both equally as good, those toyota camrys just keep going
Hey Scotty, could you please review the new Prius if you get a chance? I’d love to know what you think about the car, and whether you’d opt for the plug in hybrid or not? Thanks
I'm a repo agent and everytime I have to get a Subaru I'm pissed because of AWD at least the BMW and Mercedes AWD will allow the car to roll on front wheels for a distance but audi and Subaru require dollies which is no fun at 3am in the worst neighborhoods in Texas
God speed with those head gaskets. Subaru is really 50/50 on quality. Either you rode the OG brakes to 133,333 or got a new clutch at 15000 which SOA refuses to cover and will never show up in small claims. Roulette wheel.
Totally agree we had so many issues with ours we ditched it at 75k.
C'mon Scotty, Volvo and especially Mazda3 are lightyears ahead of Subaru 😊
I have an Impreza and live in Canada, it handles awesome in the snow.
same. i look forward to days where there is snow on the roads
PLEASE would you tell me the kind of oil to use on the crosstrek that you mentioned around minute mark 3:44 , I cant hear it clearly, thanks!
Is there even a good automaker anymore? Scotty only endorses naturally aspirated engines but all anyone’s building now are hybrids and EVs, even Toyota. Not sure what to buy anymore.
That's what I say,it's maddening.. I'm looking into Mazdas now. I swear to God if I could make my own car, I would.. I need a engineers brain 😨
Hybrids are good
@@economiccrisis9267 hybrids are just as 💩 as EVs
@@economiccrisis9267 For What?
No thanks....the CVT is a deal breaker for me! Besides the Boxer engine which has a horizontal design and pistons lay flat in the cylinder. When the engine is turned off, the fluids tend to pool next to the head gaskets instead of draining, and over time acids in the fluids eat away at the seals. The gaskets deteriorate and oil and coolant fluids start leaking. Plus the dealer network sucks.
EV's are 20 years away from being valid transportation. Thanks my ICE friend
All Toyota has to do Making cars in the United States and bring them back the import from Japan and they’ll be no problem trying to switch around old is Junk transmissions and all this other garbage
The Subaru used to be more maintenance heavy than Toyota. I don't see many 20+ year old Subaru's at the red light.
I'd rather drive my Shitbox over both of them. Fast, Loud, Fun, Real Manual Transmission not that Bluetooth Crap
LOL Scotty is it me or are you pissed off a lot?? All good, I appreciate your videos, thanks for what you do. 🙂
How in the world did you fit in that BRZ? I could take out the front seats and drive comfortably in the back seat and I'm not a tall guy.
I will stick with 6 spd manual gearboxes Scotty 😉
Scotty what about the Mitsubishi es SUV ?
That's what I want to know as well!
I agree 100% with the built in screen. I really do not like the screens sticking out of the top of the dash, looks so cheap and tacky.
WRX is too low to the ground to be good in the snow. I've driven outbacks in RI for 24 years, no snow tires, never got stuck.
Duck yeah scotty my guy
A couple of weeks back Scotty HATED CVT transmissions !
I absolutely love the Crosstrek. I own a 2023 myself and had a 2021 Outdoor (like the US Sport trim) before it. Fantastic vehicles.
You kept the last one 2 years???? Thisnis why prices are so high.....people keeping cars a couple yes, and paying these stupid prices
@@richsweeney1115 LMAO. I am glad that you found your scapegoat for inflation, inventory shortages and dealer greed. Yep, it was ALL ME actually getting the rare vehicle trim that I was looking for from 2019 onward. I am truly evil for getting a good trade-in deal on the first car I bought new in my entire life. I am also the reason for global warming, so you can rage at me for that as well while you are at it ;)
@@madlucio70 that's just ridiculous only keeping it 2 years....and your reaction was a little ridiculous, too
I lease my cars, every 2-3 yrs get a new one, complete write off. If someone wants to get a new car every 6 months good for them,
@@madlucio70 what I mean is if people ued their heads , and waited to buy till prices dropped, everyone wouldn't be getting ripped off. It's not just inflation..prices made a big jump in 2020, and a lot of dealers are marking the up $5k or more because people are paying it...if people stopped letting themselves get taken advantage of..prices would drop..they'd have to if they wanted to have business ..but a lotof people are like children.they want it, and they don't care about the price. It doesn't matter how much you have In the bank. Smarter people won't pay markups just because it's Shiney and they want it. They're not made as well as they used to be , it doesnt make sense t pay these prices for lower quality. and they're still going to lose about 40% of their value in a few years.
The Messiah is watching
Those cars are so basic and cheaply appointed and has a CVT. I don’t get the appeal. There are better 4x4s elsewhere that are better built and nicely appointment aka CX-5 etc.
I don't understand why not buy outback or Forrester and this kind or a half way thing.
The Crosstrek is a good but smaller than either of those cars. Some people just prefer a compact.
