Mine was the first Crosstrek XV shipped to Louisiana. When I bought mine it was still in Japan... I bought it knowing that I would soon be moving to Colorado and wanted a good mountain car. So I bought my Premium/DRB and have been a happy Subaru owner ever since.
Too bad that Louisianans had to wait for the next one to arrive to see what they had missed out on!
I am in a area where there is a deep sand road that leads to a mountain pass. It is the Medano Pass Primitive Road in Great Sand Dunes National Park & Preserve. Does anyone know if this road should be off limits to the Crosstrek XV and in particular one with the Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission?
I am use to driving these kinds of roads, but in larger 4WD trucks, so I am not new to deep sand.
Subaru went to this area (Jan Thomas in her Outback) and as far as I can tell they didn't try going onto this road? She did mention that the park advises that you use a high clearance 4WD vehicle on this road and on the parks web page they describe a section of the road as being a truck eater.
So, has anyone been on this road and maybe with a Crosstrek XV? Or, does anyone have any experience with the Crosstrek XV in deep sand somewhere else?
I am glad to have found this web-site and look forward to hearing back from you folks.
Thanks,
