Do the dealerships actually sell the coexist bumper stickers?

My commute would be about 130 miles total per day here in Texas all highway miles. Any reason why a crosstrek would have problems with that?

If you are going to commute almost 30,000 miles a year, why not buy a used Toyota or Honda and save some money?
I couldn't spend $30,000 on this, but that's just me. What will it be worth in 4 years with 120,000 miles on it?

I'm talking about a +10 year old Toyota or Honda. There was one in here recently for $6,000. One that has depreciated. Put 125,000 more miles on it and sell it for $4,500. That's the way you commute. They are reliable as heck.

Have looked at many different low mileage options it does not make sense to me to buy used at his time with the prices the way they are. I have to have something that gets decent gas mileage and I think gas is going to be a problem the entire time Biden is in office. This has been a hard decision as i have always driven pickups Im looking at driving it for three years and then giving it to my son.

If that's the plan then I'd go drive a CRV, Rav4, and the Crosstrek. Let your kid decide.

Kids getting a free car in 3 years. Let the buyer decide.
Kid always has the option to buy his/her/their own car if they'd prefer a crv over a finely built symmetrical awd Subaru.NColoradoAG said:drumboy said:NColoradoAG said:sonnysixkiller said:

One way to look at it. Also the kid hopefully drives it all through high school and college so that's another perspective.
It doesn't seem like an outlandish idea, but you're probably the type that starts most stories to your kids with "back in my day."drumboy said:
Lol in what world does a parent let their kid dictate a vehicle purchase for the parent that the kid will one day possibly 'inherit'?

OK, I just got clapped back for thinking it's ridiculous to let a 14 year old pick a car you're gonna be spending 2 hours commuting in daily.NColoradoAG said:It doesn't seem like an outlandish idea, but you're probably the type that starts most stories to your kids with "back in my day."drumboy said:

I'm a subie fanboi any my biggest recommendation is to get the better engine. I've only had WRX wagons and lots of Subie hater's only experience is renting a base Crosstrek in Denver to load up w/ luggage and asses to drive to Breck.YouBet said:
Worst car I've ever driven. We rented one in Colorado thinking we were doing a bit of "when in Rome".
Lol. Absolute dog and POS. We had to pull over frequently and let people pass us because it was so underpowered.
