Traded in a 2014 Nissan Frontier. Really hated that truck, was the worst vehicle purchase I'd made in year. Unfortunately I took a hit on the trade as well.
Really in a good place now with my Crosstrek though.![]()
Well it was a bunch of little things:May I ask why you hated the Frontier so much? Reason I ask is because my brother is looking for a truck (he works construction) and found a good deal on a 2009 4x4 King Cab with low miles. He's apprehensive because he wants a diesel, but was considering it for the price. Are there any red flags?

Did you have the AWD model?traded a 2013 CX5 in for the 2015 crosstrek. Little bit more roomy in the cabin, little quarks about the CX5 that annoyed, and price wise with no money out of pocket we jumped from one to the other. CX5 wasn't horrible car by any stretch, but having a lot more fun in the subie now.
nope was a FWD model. the AWD units were much more expensive and serve very little function in flat land florida.Did you have the AWD model?
I had mine undercoated but will admit having concerns with the bumpers. The sheet metal on the rear bumper was paper thin and seemed inappropriate in a modern truck.My wife had a Frontier for 10 months. After 4 months there was so much rust on the underside it was scary. Even the chrome bumpers were rusting.
Interesting how many Jeep owners move to a Crosstrek. I traded a 2014 Rubicon. I lost the depreciation but it was a good swap. I really like the Crosstrek but I am having some separation anxiety from my Jeep. The damn thing went everywhere, it just wasn't a pleasure getting there.I traded in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited for a 2015 XV and don't have an ounce of regret. I love the gas mileage and the comfort. The only thing I lost was the ability to really go off-roading but the Jeep was my daily driver and I really am not interested in tearing up my daily driver. Plus I am on the highway way more than I am off-roading.

Kept the old truck for hauling firewood. Glad we did as our first snow this year was over a foot. Love the Crosstrek for what its designed for but its not a truck.
