The New Subaru Crosstrek Gets A Power Upgrade - Its Next Big Move Is A Turbo

Not very much improvement, still will not respond when you punch it... CVT acts like a slipping auto transmission and then slowly comes up to speed. CVT still will not coast, drive to 30-35 MPH let go of the throttle, car starts bucking and shuddering like a clutch is still engaged. Slightly better going up hills but I expected better performance (I use to own a 2014). Conclusion the CVT is stall a problem.

When will the Sport get steering responsive LED headlights like the Limited.

It’s next big move is not a turbo. It’s next move(s) should be offering a regular automatic transmission and manual transmission and also removing the 2.0 liter engine from the lineup. Also adding a/c vents and USB ports in the back along with a bass box for the Harman Kardon Sound system. You know the bass box that’s offered in the foresters harman Kardon System. And standard led headlights, taillights and fog lights across all trims. That would be a start. And limited and sport models should come standard with a moonroof as well. And lower the price too

Given that the turbocharged engine they're planning to offer is smaller and won't have any more horsepower than the 2.5 liter engine, what's the point? The big gripe everyone has always had with the Crosstrek is that it's underpowered. The 2.5 liter engine helps, but I was hoping they'd offer the 2.4 liter turbo that's in the Ascent, etc. They're THAT close to offering what would be the best small SUV on the market by far, but won't. Why the heck not?

GIVE THE IMPREZA SPORT A TURBO! I'm not saying make it the WRX, but clearly it needs something to stand out from the rest of the Impreza apart for nice rims and bigger brakes.

I would get the turbo but right now I have my eye on the Legacy and Outback XT as my next cars. The lease is almost up on my Impreza and I have my BRZ almost paid off so those 2 are at the top of my list. If the new STI is really cool i might get that instead of the legacy but between the Outback and the Crosstrek I would want something bigger so the Outback wins out.

CVT suck give him some gas and you will break them Honda and Toyota are better than Jaco your fucking computer Jaco fucking computer won't even spell shit right voice recognition sucks sometimes that's so don't cvts they suck they suck they suck don't trust any of them even Toyota and Honda the better of them break so easily give it some gas do little burnout by a transmission it's nothing they should make it where the belt is easily replaced but they don't they make it where it's a total disassemble after removing it from the vehicle Never by a CVT buy a manual transmission if you're going to buy any of the Jack Brands because they make really poor automatic transmissions really and set it on some of the Americans like Chevrolet at some automatic transmission sitting just beyond belief bad and Chrysler don't even touching the Foreigner owned by Fiat don't want them know about the Hemi motor right what you didn't know is they only last 52 70,000 need serious upper end repairs on the engine cam lifters followers timing chain accessories they just jumped the nothing like the old Magnum motor was then I go out more power but expensive not lasting and get me started on Ford with their Triton Motors this three of them and each one gets worse and worse and worse why the replace the 302 and 351 I'll never understand what something is unreliable as a Triton motor never buy a Ford never buy a Chrysler General Motors even though the cars really suck for the most part have some good transmission to Allison you know Allison's owned by BMW she wouldn't think I'd be any good if it's owned by BMW but this still pretty good Transmissions from Allison the mode of the vortex Austin motor based on the 1970 ES350 with different heads and intake manifold yes they've got some problems with the intake manifold everybody pitches about him but for the most part they can be resolved with better quality gaskets and don't get me started about all the rest of Europe whether it's French cars like Renault pujo whether it's German cars like Audi Mercedes Mercedes used to be a great vehicle I need somebody with a 300D they lasted forever go buy a new Mercedes you can't work on it yourself because it voids the warranty if you haven't run out of warranty already and you can't really work on it because the parts fall apart the all plastic nap intake manifold everything just plastic they shred from they split they crack there no good don't buy anything German and then look at VW what they did they cheated on the emission control on their diesel the cars won't pass emissions inspections in many states so don't buy a Volkswagen unless you're going to go live in Mexico well that's all I got to say right now you better off with a lot of older vehicles from the 90s then you are with newer things although I will tell you one diesel that's very good the Cummings Diesel they're really good and they've kept up Dodge Cummins diesels Ford diesels Purity junk and General Motors diesels as they called the Duramax suck beyond belief their Mitsubishi design that's so inferior and I don't want to start with all the problems cuz you can never stop you start on the top and then you go to the bottom and and everything in between is a problem on a Duramax just like on a Ford diesel motor you don't want any of them so stick with the Chrysler Diesel with Cummings motor in it

Brad, please cut the foul language.
Also, your litany of one run-on sentence after another of your rantings are not very helpful. You must be hard to please, get some counseling.
Chill Brad,
Phil
