Good review! I am so anxious to test drive a Crosstrek. The not-so-powerful engine is worrying me a little bit so I really want to drive one before I bite the bullet. A dealer near me said they will have some on their lot soon so I am getting excited. I'll try to post here more lol.

This is probably one of the better reviews for the Subaru XV Crosstrek, especially regarding the mechanical changes done to create the XV. No other media source other than Driving Sports TV did I hear of modifications and reinforcements over the regular Impreza hatch such as the reinforced unibody.
I asked my dealer if the cooling system was made better, and the salesperson told me they did. However, I have no actual confirmation regarding that.
I am awaiting the Subaru public parts databases (that sell Subaru parts) to update the XV Crosstrek in. Once that happens, one can compare the part numbers or actual pictures to confirm any actual cooling system differences between the regular Impreza hatch and an XV Crosstrek hatch.

Subaru of America flew a bunch of reviewers out there to build hype for the Crosstrek. I've never thought about why Hawaii but I bet you're right about it being closer to Japan.Got said:

I have been trying to watch this but I keep remember when I am at work so I have to watch with sound off. Hopefully I'll check back when I get home tonight so I can see it all.AWDfreak said:

Haha nice, I noticed that.Subir_roo said:
Finally watched the video, too. The Crosstrek does pretty decent for what it is, but I wish they had given us some numbers!

Surviving Iceland in the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid
Maybe some of you have already seen this one (from May 2014), but it was new to me and fun to watch. These guys are doing some SERIOUS off-roading in Iceland, in winter, up a volcano. Now I'm not much of an off-roading type of guy but this makes it look fun. Amazing how the Xtreks keep up in these extreme conditions. About 20 minutes to see it all, but worth it IMHO. Enjoy.
