Is a Crosstrek extended warranty worth it?
Probably not. The Subaru Crosstrek's 7% major repair probability over 5 years is below the segment average — 93 out of 100 owners won't hit a repair that exceeds the warranty cost. The most reliable years to buy are the 2013. The exception: if you're buying a 2016, 2019, and 2021, check the known issues before deciding.
Buy new or save on a used Crosstrek?
The Crosstrek holds 91% of its value after 3 years — one of the best in its class. That strong resale narrows the used-car savings, but here's the real math.
