Glad to see you found this forum also. It's good to hear that you're happy with the CrossTrek so far end no problems. Keep us informed. Have a great Christmas.
 
Thanks for the update Wolverine 12. How far do you plan to push the oil change intervals. With the type driving you do I would think 15,000 mile intervals would be possible without oil degradation. I find this thread extremely interesting and informative. Thanks do much!
 
While I don't drive a ton of miles like some of you I have been on a couple of longish trips in my '15 Limited. I've read some threads about how uncomfortable the CrossTreks seats are but I find them very comfortable. We've been on 2 trips to Maine from Virginia, just over 1200 miles one way. The trip up is about 800 miles the first day and 4 the second. The trip home is driven straight through, about 17 - 18 hrs. I've made this same trip in many cars ranging from Fiat Abarth to Lincoln Marks, Toyota Sequoias etc. and the CrossTrek compares very favorably to all. Actually, due to Eyesight and the ACC it's better than most. Comfort, at least for me, isn't a problem.

Wolverine12, just wanted to thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with your CrossTrek. Although I'll never come close to amassing the miles you do, I read all your posts with interest. I know of no one else with the perspective you have concerning long term durability of our cars. I just wish you had a CVT as that's probably my main concern or curiosity as to durability. Again....thanks.
 
Thanks for the update Wolverine12. As this isn't your first rodeo, just curious, so far how is the CrossTrek comparing to other cars you've owned at this stage of the game?
