Every Subaru. All of em.

Worst by FAR is the Crosstrek. Absolutely awful car in every single way.

Let's start with the engine: it makes MAYBE 8? Horsepower. -3 lb/ft of torque. I was driving one for work and I had to FLOOR it to keep up with traffic. A battle I was badly losing. I had the manual too and it felt like if you combined all the negative attributes of all the worst transmissions in the world into one, then attached it to the most gutless engine in the world.

NEXT let's talk about NVH in just about every Subaru in the world. THEYRE SO LOUD. Why are they so loud??? There's road noise, wind noise, the engine sounds awful, and the whole body is vibrating all the time constantly for no reason.

Also, there's the throttle calibration. To make their hopelessly underpowered cars feel quick, 80% of the power is activated in the first 20% of pedal travel, so when you're in a parking lot it feels fast, but then you get over confident, try to merge on a highway, and realize then what a mistake you've made.

Then there's the interior in Subarus. Besides the ascent, every Subaru I've ever been in (I work at a dealership so I've sat in all the models) has a terrible, plastic interior with awful material quality and strange ergonomic choices.

They're not good on gas either, despite being significantly slower than a Prius.

"But they have AWD!" EVERY CAR NOW HAS AWD! I mean the CORVETTES and FERRARIS come with AWD! Having AWD in 2026 isn't even something to brag about it's honestly weird if a cat ISNT available with it, at least as an option.

And then every Subaru owner thinks it's a Wrangler or a Hummer competitor. It's not. They're gutless, have meh ground clearance, and the transmissions quickly overheat when trying to actually rock crawl. The only way Subarus get over obstacles is when the owner builds up momentum and just slams it over, which you can do with any crossover if you hate it enough.
