- This is a Dynamic Drive for 2023 Subaru Crosstrek Sport which means I drove it for almost 100 miles in the City, Highway and Canyon Roads to determine how does it feel to drive and gave my final feel score at the end of the video.
If you ever considered Subaru Crosstrek then you will find a fairly decent value in terms of driving dynamics. Overall I had more expectations from 2023 Subaru Crosstrek. While it did disappoint me I still found some strong areas where Subaru did well.

You deserve more attention for this level of content bruv... Nicely done!!
Thank you. Appreciate your feedback. I just started. Hoping to add more value in the car review space.
Totally agree, nice content! Very useful!👍
Best detailed video I have seen! Thank you.
Oh thank you for your feedback and kind words. Hoping to bring value by sharing real world driving experience
Hands down one of the best car reviews I've seen. Good job & thank you. Felt like i test drove the car myself.
Thanks for the feedback
I watch reviews all day long (yes I have a car review problem) this maybe the best review I've seen all week.
Ha ha. Thanks for your feedback. So I also had car review addiction and I decided to start a TH-cam channel based on driving experience. Maybe this is the time for you to start one too :)
great review, very useful information, no other guys doing this. Plz do more videos.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Hoping to provide real world reviews on how cars actually feel to drive. Will be making more videos
@@100miledrive you are welcome. real world reviews are really useful. thanks.
Very nice video! I loved hearing your impressions as you drive various real world situations! I am still considering one for our family fleet, just wish the sport model were a couple thousand cheaper. The top of my list for a compact, AWD suv may be the Mazda CX-30 select trim ... a lot of nice features and premium feeling ride for $26k, if one can do without sunroof, heated seats and room in back. It is really hard to find anything these days for that price that doesn't feel like a penalty box
Thanks for stopping by. Yes shopping for a car these days is a complete nightmare. Many things vary based on the inventory that dealerships have. Subaru now has good lease specials, you may want to review their program. Lease first and then buy it out if high payments are not comfortable to purchase a new car. I love Mazda products, they are the driver's cars in this segment and they have improved their build quality. I will certainly bring Mazdas on this channel. Make sure to subscribe, more cars are on the way.
Yes I have a 2023 cross track and I love mine this car is amazing the color is Silver Metallic love the ground clearance this car has my ave miles per gallon is like 34 on a trip and about 24 in town driving it’s a maze ing love this SUV CAN NOT WATE TO SEE HOW IT HANDLES IN THE WINTER .
Nice. Thanks for your feedback. I am hoping to try soon 2024 crosstrek as well to see what are the new changes and refinements. Overall very solid car for both road trips and off-roading.
A good honest review of Crosstrek. I think when it comes to cars, it can be subjective in terms of what one person likes, another may not. But, there seems to be a lot of positives that you pointed out with the Crosstrek and for it's price point, it gives you a very good bang for the buck. I am looking to buy one myself and will take it on a test drive to see how it feels and how it drives but I enjoyed watching your review. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Certainly do spend some time with this vehicle. It varies from person to person what we all care about the most. Also it depends what you are getting it for.
Nice job. The canyon run is important for us mtn dwellers. Of course, Subaru is the best off-road.😊
I would be interested to see a review of the 2024 sport since they made a few changes and if you like it any better
Yes, heard about this car. Let’s see when it becomes available I might bring it to the channel
@@100miledrive Hopefully you do like it better...I just ordered the Onyx trim up here in Canada which is basically the sport equivalent. They are advertising that they fixed a lot of the issues you mentioned
@@aaronwilson4579 good to hear. Let’s see. Will keep an eye on 2024 models
The sport does have the 2.5 engine?
Yes Sport has 2.5l engine and 182 horsepower
do dealerships let people test drive cars the way you mentioned?
not quite. I basically recommend to rent a car for a day from places like Turo and spend a day with the car. That is the problem, is that you do a test drive around dealer's block and you won't be able to feel anything about the car. But if you really spend a day with it you will know exactly if you like it or not.
never thought of that, that is a good idea. thank you.@@100miledrive
He is cute😍
My wife has had two brand new Subarus so far. 2018 Impreza and 2022 Onyx XT. We have loved both cars, however, out biggest complaint has been the interior quality. In both cases the interior parts do not feel sturdy and solid.
Thanks for owner’s feedback. This is exactly what disappointed me the most in Subarus. Why can’t they improve built interior quality. I hope 2024 Crosstek addresses this issue. Toyota and Honda also use cheap materials in Rav4 and CRV interior but at least they feel more sturdy.
@@100miledriveUS build quality compared to the Japanese built units is the issue.Accept crap get crap as is the American philosophy.
I have had both builds, US cross trek and Japanese XV and it’s chalk and cheese in build quality.
@@oscarsusan3834 thanks for sharing, good to know. I heard in 2024 model they improved a lot. Will be hopefully reviewing one soon. I also recently drove Subaru Legacy for our trip from CA to Oregon and that had very decent interior quality.
Material wise, inside, Honda and Toyota definitely aren't better in quality. Remember this is priced like a Corolla or Civic. The interior of the Corolla Cross is horrible. The power of the 2.0 is not quieter, nor is it's AWD as good. When you compare it to its intended competition, the Corolla Cross, and the HRV, power and refinement wise, there's no comparison. The 2.5 torque is superior to their 2.0. Most Crossovers are just lifted cars, but as most off-roaders know, the soft suspension is for trails. I think that when are reviewing something, you need to compare it to its competition. Sound insulation is superior to the Corolla Cross, and HRV. Historically Honda has always been poor in road noise. This car is on it's 6th year on the current generation, and it's newer competition does nothing better. Add snow or rain, the Corolla Cross and HRV are no competition.
Thanks for your feedback. Initially I thought you responded to Toyota-Lexus comparison video, but realized it was for the Subaru.
Well, I can only speak for Crosstrek and I was surprised that doors for example had very poor inside quality materials like when you press against them, there is like a hollow space. Dashboard and center console were also not solid. To me those are basic quality flaws that should have been adressed on 2023 models. I am yet to check out Forester and Outback. Toyota on the other hand uses cheap materials but at least it feels more solid.
@@100miledrive
You're spot on. I have a '21 tacoma I'm thinking of trading in due to back wrenching driving experience. With that said, everything does feel solid even with the cheap cabin materials
If you want to see what this car is capable of ,see YS KHONG Malaysian championship rally driver take this cross trek (XV) up and down a mountain tarmac road in the wet and dry.
Chalk and cheese reviews (differing points of view-not bad or better),from a daily driver dude to a professional with a big smile.
Ok thank you. I review cars from the eyes of consumer and report things I see based on my experience. Obviously I am not testing them to the level many channels do. I also know Subarus have really long history and I drove their other models like WRX in the past and loved Boxter engine with Turbo and manual setup. I just don’t find it paired well to have underpowered boxter paired with CVT transmission. It is very drony. Ok for crecreational use but for day to day driving it’s not pleasant
Sure would have been nice if Subaru had not ONLY kept the manual's (2024 Impreza & Crosstrek), given the 2.5L for ALL trims "and" given the impreza an 6 speed manual. SUBARU would have made so many sales "if" they had just LISTENED to their customers. ....Taksan Baka Desu na.....🏹🤠👍
Great point! Very curious about 2024 Subaru Crosstrek.
@@100miledrive it's my understanding that they have discontinued the manual for 24.
@@theamazinggoldfish8713 hmm, this is very unfortunate
Manual sales were less than 10%, not worth it.
I leased this model and not sure I love it. The safety features (main reasons I got o
It) don’t when you need them the most like when it’s raining or snowing 😮
5 out of 10? I wanted to get this dang car 😢
This is based on the driving dynamics. If you are considering this for long road trips and you don’t care about premium quality then it’s a good highway cruiser.
Do your research, his knowledge is limited. Do your due diligence, research. Test drive the competition. Choose for yourself. What he looks in a car is different from what you may like. At the price these sell for, it has no competition. The Corolla Cross, and HRV don't come close. The Handling is fine, he exaggerated the sloppiness.
Here's a link with a reviewer more familiar about comparing cars with intended competition and has tons of videos of cars in this class with the options you may be comparing them to. Remember there's a new Crosstrek coming this Summer and will have some refinements you may like more. But the current one is excellent and would recommend on a heartbeat.
Here's the link.

@@cargueone1971 i can tell you are a hardcore Subaru fan. And there is notning wrong with that. In my videos I mostly share what I see and how it feels to drive in city, highway and canyon roads. I would definetely do way more research before buying a car than just watching my video alone, but most importantly to rent and drive it for 1 full day.
@@100miledrive my family has owned Toyotas for over 50 years. Hardly a Subaru fan. Just saying to compare it to intended competition.
I concur this dude is a clown. There is nothing wrong with the Crosstrek, especially at the price point offered. He clearly is half a momo and doesn't understand who actually buys Subaru's and that they don't buy them for the "luxury" interior or "premium" feel. He has about as much right to review cars as I have to preform brain surgery. He is just regurgitating what he hears from the countless other hacks who do "reviews"
