Trust can be difficult to establish, but I trust the folks where I bought my first.......

Congrats. I'm on my one and only but can see why you like these cars so much.
I sometimes wonder what a second gen Kizashi would have been like.

3/7/2022 I put a deposit on a new 2022 Subaru Crosstrek Limited in White w/gray interior.


4093 days
4093 days from the start date to the end date.
11 years, 2 months, 13 days.

Enough time to learn the Kizashi, I'd say.


And miles?
"I got yer miles right here"

1) 164k
2) 116k
3) 99k
4) 39k and still climbing.....

After this much time and miles I want something new. Something with more ground clearance LOL.

Car is due in its R.I. port soon, ETA beginning of April.
Wonder how I'm gonna pay for it.

I love the Kizashi, I love it here, I love you guys.



Anyone wanna buy a couple Kizashis? 'cause I got a pair.

Congrats on the Crosstrek. I recall that a number of years ago, there was a discussion here about what you would replace the Kizashi with and the Crosstrek came up. I think that at the time, you nixed it because it was too slow as it only came with a pokey 2.0 liter making less than 150 HP at the time. Now, the Crosstrek Sport and Limited come with a 2.5 liter, getting it closer to the Kizashi's engine specs. I also agree that the ground clearance is a huge bonus because the Crosstrek has some of the highest clearance of any vehicle but does not drive like a truck. The newer models also seem to have upgraded interior refinement. I think you waited for the model to get better and now it's time.
Hope you enjoy your Crosstrek as much as the Kizashis. Let us know how it is once you get it and transition from the Kizashi to the Crosstrek. Congrats again.

I am, literally, scared of a not-a-sedan, but I've already been chasing down lightweight wheels, strut braces, skid plates, cold air intakes, and big brakes.

Naturally, I won't have time to add crap, 'cause I'll be drivin'.
