Leasing: Honda CRV or Subaru Crosstrek?

On a base level this is true in terms of physics, but subarus are built to be the safest cars on the market.

Not to hijack - same question but we also like the VE Tiguan. Buying not leasing. Crosstrek is cool, but seems tight for 4 adults. CRV is just boring to me but better size.

If I had to pick a car to get in a crash in, it would be the Crosstrek.

That’s the only advantage it has, IMO.

Since it’s a lease, you’ll only have it for 36k miles so you won’t have it long enough for all the usual Subaru problems to crop up: oil leaks, bad wheel bearings, bad CV joints, bad ignition coils, and of course the CVT failing.
