Honda CRV is a fantastic vehicle. A dependable and trustworthy workhorse. It is getting a facelift in 2023 so look out for the new model. Just saw one on the roads earlier this month.

I have liked the look of the CrossTrek since it came out. But after doing a bit of research, particularly about comfort as a six-foot-tall driver, the CRV looked like a better choice.
I am going to look for the new one. My little Corolla has taken me a long way, but I am getting older and comfort will be a higher priority than gas mileage in my future.
Funny we traded a Crosstrek for my Tesla. I had a Crosstrek in 2014-2016. Great car for me at the time. Upgraded to a Ram which was probably my worst car buying decision. The Crosstrek we traded was my wife’s. My Outback has been paid off for awhile and is only 3 years old so we kept it over the leased Crosstrek. Plus Carmax gave us stupid money for it.

I just liked the look of the Crosstrek and the smaller size SUV. I specifically read up on the interior room and comfort for that type of vehicle as well as other factors, like how many repairs they tend to need, and the CRV came out ahead.
My old Jetta was more comfortable than the Toyota, but between having to drive from Monmouth County to Jersey City, Manhattan, and LaGuardia regularly before retirement, and then making monthly trips to Canada for a few years after, I saved bucks on gas and repairs with that Toyota.Got my money's worth for sure! I bought it in Dec 2012 for $14K and change. Have not had to do any major repairs, although there were a few odds and ends along the way.
I had quit smoking the Dec before, and a few years later I figured out that had paid for the car.
Incidentally, that was the newest car I ever owned. I commuted to work by train most of my life, so a $400 car payment in addition to a $400 monthly train ticket for a vehicle that sat home or in a train station parking lot all day just was not in my budget. I drove beater cars and rented better ones if I took a long trip somewhere.

Fair chance the new CRV would have better mileage than an older Corolla.

Good to know.
On one of my Canada trips a few years ago, there was a snowstorm upstate, so I took Amtrak to Syracuse and rented an SUV for the trip over the border and up to the lake country.
They gave me a new Nissan Rogue. Nice vehicle, but the rate at which it guzzled gas shocked me.
And here I sit now in the Toronto burbs, winter tires on my Corolla, and no snow to speak of so far this winter.
Like EV range, gas mileage is never as reported either. The Outback is at best 23-25. The Crosstrek was slightly higher. I don’t recall the Crosstrek but the Outback is supposed to be 29.

That is good. My Toyota gets me close to 30, but most of the miles have been highway, what with my temporary 66-mile commute to LGA in 2014 and then my monthly thousand-mile round-trips to Ontario for four years.
Never have had to replace the brakes in 10 years. I hardly ever used them!
Just an fyi on the Tesla deal, you also have to own keep the car registered in NJ for 3 years, and for the installation credit remain in NJ for 2 years.
I read an article recently that said that about 13% of people who bought cars over the last 2 years have a monthly car note greater than $1000. I like nice cars too but I don’t think I’d be happy paying that much for a car.
For 72 months.
