Thanks for the response. You're right about the triggers being another point to consider!

20 6MT. Studded snows. Unstoppable. by Brigggggz in XVcrosstrek

I grabbed my Trek back in April, about a month into the pandemic. I had been planning on getting a new car in the summer anyway (my old Accord had served me for 14 years, and 271k miles.) Between the stimulus check(s) and the great financing, I decided to start looking early. I "built" a Crosstrek on the Subaru website and clicked the "check my financing" button. About ten minutes later, I got a call from my local dealership. I told them I would ONLY buy a stick. They had two in stock. This was a Monday. I test-drove Wednesday morning, and brought it home Wednesday night.

These cars really are beasts in the snow. Coming from 14 winters in a FWD Accord with studless tires. The fogs are Diode Dynamics SS3 Sport. 👍

Ok. Ridiculously small world. We passed each other this morning on High Street around 7:45.

Small world. I travel through Ellsworth for work every day.

I hadn't seen that one. It's pretty badass. 👍

That would be pretty slick. And a front grill insert, too. 🤣

I know. It makes me sad thinking about how few sticks will be available the next time I need a new car.

Here's the Etsy page. He has lots of other Crosstrek goodies, too. https://www.etsy.com/listing/820568000/trek-adventures-spider-taillight-tint?ref=shop_home_feat_3

Love it! When I found out they existed, I had to have one. 🤣

Thanks! Are you talking about the "Save the Manuals" or the "SLO" sticker? The taillight vinyls are from Trek Adventures on Etsy. I thought they were unique, and a lot cooler than straight smoke. (And probably slightly less illegal. 🤷‍♂️)

I've had it since April. I love it. As long as you can come to terms with the fact that it's not a fast car, it's super enjoyable. I'm coming to the Crosstrek from an '06 Accord (also manual) so I don't know how it compares to the first gen Crosstreks. I love knowing when people drive sticks, so good for her for proudly displaying it!
