You should get a new Jimny from overseas and use it to try and convince someone in the US to sell something like that, except with removable top and doors. Like the shortcut that Jeep promised, until they realized how much money they would lose from Wrangler sales. Oh, and don't go all consumer reports and lie your ass off to try and destroy its reputation.

Let's be clear about some things, crossovers aren't for rock crawling, no crap. The Crosstrek is half the price of the Bronco and since it's neither a Ford nor a Hyundai the it less likely to need warranty work. If I need to drive through a desert, I'm not picking a Ford. The crosstrek is a daily driver, can get reasonable mileage, find easy parking and function reliably while doing a great job of hitting weekend foresty service roads. Who thought it was a rock crawler? I'll tell you something else, inflation, cumulative over the last few years, has been 22% and Subaru has raised the price 19%. Effectively lowering their price versus inflation while both Hyundai and Ford have drastically increased prices refusing to give up that margin they enjoyed during the pandemic. Ford is expensive and not reliable. Lastly, and I really mean this, if you are showing video of the styling, I don't need your opinion on it. It's right there in film. I can think for myself.

XRT owner here and I feel like this is a fair review. Yup it's not meant for anything hardcore, and I've yet to really even test the 4wd. Note the skid plate is not standard either so had to add that for ~$400. Agree it's an excellent value and the interior utilization is incredible...would make a good overlanding vehicle possibly. Perfect for car camping too which I've done with my son.

At 60k, the fluid is like liquid sandpaper and has caused its damage.

CVT's can be good if they are made well. Nissan has always had bad CVT's and while they are much better, I still wouldn't buy one. Subaru's newer ones are actually very good. Above all is maintenance, just remember to change the fluid no later than 60k miles and you should be fine.

If you buy a Hyundai to take off-road, then you're clearly out-of-your-mind. It might drive well...a few times. However, Hyundai-Kia use very cheap parts -- especially under the vehicle. It will drive fine for a while; however, the traction control is poor, the engines are not good and the parts under the hood and under the vehicle will bring you back for repairs again...and again...and again. You'd be better off driving a Subaru. Or, if you want better comfort and value, something like a Mazda CX-50.
