Some Subarus are assembled here, but Crosstrek it appears is still assembled in Japan. The wilderness models have some additional wheel clearance and look nice with their girding.

This is weird: I can swear I saw Crosstrek parked on display in front of their indiana factory among the other models they make there.
On my Armada the phone is just above the steering wheel and I can operate it with my left hand without taking my hand off the wheel. Not suggesting an Armada as it's not fun driving in the city and not gas friendly, but I don't do that. More the suction suggestion.
The Nissan is in the middle, at $37,000 USD.
Ford Maverick vs. Hyundai Santa Cruz vs. Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness.
I'm open to others but I do a lot of urban driving so I don't want a big truck or shitty mpg. I do have some land on the radar screen when prices drop, all off dirt roads, so I'd like clearance for Swales and potholes. Shit like heated seats I couldn't care less about, I'm still getting used to automatic windows and find myself reaching for the crank sometimes still.
My near vision is going and I need at least a 10-inch screen. Also the kids like to watch the map and point out roads and trip remaining from the backseats.
I'd like at least 1500 towing capability and a reinforced roof to stow some stuff, and definitely 4 door rear seats for the kiddos.
