opus Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Any particular year of Crosstrek better than the other? Trying to help my brother pick a used one and not sure what year to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 dunno really, read that the early ones have a reputation for being underpowered. Maybe check cars101.com for features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 I was thinking more along the mechanical lines.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 2017+ for forester, I’m not versed on crossteks specifics but I’d lean that way too for crossteks too. Issues to research and somewhat avoided by later models: CVT oil consumption Crosstek valve springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 '17 in my shop right now with a rod knock. 69k miles. Just did a '16 Forester that had a broken valve spring at 120k. Nothing else wrong just a broken intake valve spring. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
