The Truth About Cars

JANUARY 5, 2024

Reliability, when it comes to cars, has at least two meanings. As I’ve often said in these reviews, those of us who are self-described car enthusiasts sometimes forget that while we might place a premium on acceleration or ride and handling, most car buyers don’t. The other involves how well it does its prescribed job.

I recently reviewed the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Premium and my biggest critique, at least from a driving dynamics standpoint, was a lack of guts. My only beef is that while there are knobs and buttons for the radio and temperature adjustments, some of the climate controls require you to use the touchscreen. This is your trim of choice.

Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. Emissions are usually higher in the production phase of electric cars, but these are more than offset by lower emissions in the use phase over time.

The more I review crossovers and utility vehicles, the more I evaluate them by how well they just simply work for commuting duty. That includes a heated steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, cooled front seats, voice control, and a passenger seat that’s height adjustable. This is, hopefully, a common-sense approach.
