Irrelevant what I or anyone else chooses to do. Point of the thread is Consumer Reports identifes the Subaru Crosstrek as the best reliability in its class, and the record sales for the previous month indicate very strong demand for the vehicle.
2024 Subaru Crosstrek predicted reliability is the top at 99/100.
2024 Honda HR-V 85/100
2024 Toyota Corolla Cross 71/100
2024 Mazda CX-30 66/100
2024 Kia Seltos 51/100
2024 Chevrolet Trail Blazer 50/100
2024 Jeep Renegade 33/100
2024 Volkswagen Taos 18/10

And the point of counter-argument of the thread is that consumer reports method of data and conclusion doesn’t help any of us buyers.
I’m just curious, do you work at a Subaru dealership? Or are you an engineer or another type of employee at Subaru?
Jeeeez thought you were going to ask if I worked for Consumer Reports. LOL
Speaking of Consumer Reports, you may not care for them, but there are plenty of people that do and rely on their information. Take what you like and leave the rest.
So by the way, Consumer Reports both the Toyota RAV4 prime is one of their top 10 vehicles for 2024. But I guess that really is not a good vehicle because Consumer Reports doesn't know what they're talking about?

I can agree with the Toyota pick but I don't like Subarus
Kidding aside, everyone has different priorities. For me, with the electric price here in LA, the premium price of the Prime is not worth it. It would probably take 200K miles for me to recoup that extra $.
I DIY most of my repairs and help my neighbor with his Subaru once in a while and I have decided to pass on them for now, but agree that the Crosstrek is a nice looking car in its class.
Plus the fact that Subarus generally need either a new engine or new transmission at around 150K miles, while Hondas last to around 250K or more before they need a major repair like that. Although I've always liked the look of various Subarus, including the Crosstrek, I'll stick with Hondas and Toyotas, thanks. Longevity counts, unless you routinely trade in your car before it gets in the 150K mi. range.

From talking to friends and folks I have worked with. I would stay away from Boxer type engines.
I really like my Subaru (Forester), and I trust Consumer Reports. For what it's worth, reliability isn't quite the same thing as longevity, and Consumer Reports recently put out a list of 12 cars with the highest expected longevity, and there are 11 Toyotas and Hondas, and 1 Ford (F-150) - despite the latter not having stellar reliability... and this is "according to surveys of Consumer Reports members". https://www.consumerreports.org/cars...d-a1051079155/

Or routinely die before reaching that mileage. With my new Crosstrek, I estimate my age at 150K miles to be approximately 115.
