What does Consumer Reports say about the new 2024 Crosstrek?

CR says, "The Subaru Crosstrek is one of the most researched cars on ConsumerReports.org, and for good reason: It delivers an excellent ride, good fuel economy, standard all-wheel drive, and enough ground clearance for mild off-roading all in a reasonably sized and priced package. We wish the base engine didn't feel so feeble or get so loud, but otherwise, the well-rounded Crosstrek is currently the highest-scoring subcompact SUV."
