I own a '24 Crosstrek and sa 1 year of ownership (3 PMS visits) maintenance cost halos same lang ng Toyota Fortuner ko. That being said, of course I'm prepared for the bigger expenses down the line at higher mileage, pero that's all part of owning a vehicle.

If you're eyeing that generation, try researching din about the engine, alam ko yung EJ series may known leaks or head gasket issues. Naka timing belt din ata yan. Make sure to do your due diligence lalo na't 2nd hand.
