All things considered, would you buy a Mav again, perhaps when your work no longer provides a fleet vehicle?Well, not really.
I've used my Maverick for work as a field service tech since day one and after 2 years 4 months and 125k miles, she's going to get a break.
Work decided that it's best(for the company of course) if we get fleet cars. Enter 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium. I have to say, she rides and drives nice. She doesn't have BLIS like my Mav so first thing I got was a blind spot mirror. She does have ACC. My first ever and I love it! Now I see why you guys that had it but didn't get on your Mav say you miss it. But talk about trusting your equipment, that takes some getting used to.
I'm going to miss driving the Mav. I'm especially going to miss the mileage reimbursement.
I'm not getting rid of the Mav. I'm keeping her
Considering he's made it to 125k with no repairs, it seems like it is. My Kia Rio had about 110k on it when we sold it, and had a laundry list of issues.
Hey man, could you please provide us with periodic updates as to how it's doing? As someone who's dealt with a ton of stress lately, and who gets very nervous seeing all of these people having issues on the forums, seeing stories like yours helps to calm me down, and realize it's not all bad. Thank you.
Our trucks are gonna last forever at this rate. Our explorer is 8 yrs old with only 30k on it. It's had at least a dozen oil changes. I keep saying I should change the transmission fluid and engine coolant and my dealer techs keep telling me there's no need yetI’ll die before I put 50,000 on my 2022
.
I would be curious to see what is causing some people's CV axles to fail early on. A lot of people seem to be going off-road, so that could be part of it.
The wife has the same crosstrek it’s an awesome vehicle. Very capable, reliable and cool bells and whistles.Well, not really.

Thanks for mentioning that. Will definitely check it. There are a couple of things I want to do to it like change spark plus and do anther trans drain and fill.
I had a 1998 Explorer that I got rid of last year. Was my hunting truck but the trans would not go into park anymore. Sold it for $600 on Craigslist.Our trucks are gonna last forever at this rate.

I've read that Subaru is the #1 make for ownership by lesbians, especially the Forester. Totally serious. I didn't even know they gathered statistics like that.Well, not really.

I had ACC on a work truck (2023 Ranger XLT) and frankly, I didn't like it. I didn't like how it would slow down as I come up on a slower car, but I especially didn't like how it reacted when a slower car moved out of the way and the ACC 'punched' the accelerator to get back up to speed. I could virtually see money flying out of the tailpipe every time it happened. On a light-traffic road, it was okay; on a busy rush hour road I had to disable it.Well, not really.

My wife loves her Forester...we never bought into that myth, anyway.
