Because we need another Crosstrek thread!
« on: January 20, 2023, 11:54:31 am »
Picked up the Crosstrek yesterday! Ordered on July 9, so just over a 6-month wait.

A couple pics from the trip home (stopped at my mom’s to show it off!):





And managed to squeeze it into the garage when we got home. Put the winters on and got the ski box and dog barrier installed last night.



Heading out skiing with it today!

Looks good. How did it do out west going home? Will it pull the grades (Scott Lake hill) or does it need a downshift?

Finally! This is a 2L manual sport yes? At least all the Crosstreks here are different specs!

Not sure if Heli is in Calgary but it gets hot here(chinook) and usually snow doesn't stay.  Drive 30 minute west and it's a difference story.  the weather can be odd here.

Looks great, I like the white. For some reason that doesn't seem to be a popular color choice on the Crosstrek around here.

Congrats on the new wheels.  Hope you get as many happy miles as you got from the GTI.  Have fun playing in the snow.

Congrats!

Was there a group buy that I missed?
I love it when a plan comes together.

Hey I still have an order. Although now it is for a 2024, no status, no details, no pricing, no details.  ;D
