Too big.
Now put that turbo engine into the CX-3 and we're talking!

I am sure they gave it more thought with mega more marketing info than we have available to us. I get the feeling Subaru makes very few "bad moves". Like you sid time will tell.Yeah, that's likely going to be a competitor. Not sure what Subaru was thinking dumping the turbo... as there's quite a Suby Fozzy following for this type of vehicle. Will be interesting to see what happens...
I would seriously look at the BMW X3 with low mileage. My friend got an X3 for $41Kwith 4K miles on it. She test drove every high end SUV out there (in the X3 class). Her second choice would have been Volvo.This Mazda vehicle, the Ford Edge ST or a Volvo XC60 T6 are on my short list of replacements for the FXT. Wife's budget is up to mid $50k's for something that is fun but not flashy. I really want her to get some sort of AWD wagon (Volvo V60 T6R), but that idea has been tossed out the window. Wife doesn't like sinking into vehicles.
How so? Or, with what feature(s) were you not impressed with? What year CX-5? They have come a long way since their into in 2013 and the early 2.0L FWD Sport CX-5s were slow, but you could get them in a manual.I drove a CX-5 for 2.5 weeks this summer while on vacation. I was not impressed.
I'd prefer to look into the X3, but wife doesn't want a status type vehicle. I like that it is RWD biased. The X3 is a great suggestion on this topic.I would seriously look at the BMW X3 with low mileage. My friend got an X3 for $41Kwith 4K miles on it.

When it's time to replace my XT, I'd probably look at the X1/X3, Volvo XC60 or new Acura RDX. Those are sweet crossovers/small SUV's. The Volvo especially is a nice vehicle. Not sure about Volvo reliability though. The CX-5 turbo is nice, but I test drove a CX-5 earlier this year and hated the visibility. It did feel more premium on the inside than the XT. But you can't beat the performance and price point on the XT. Here's hoping Subaru brings back the XT, but I'm not holding my breath.It will be really interesting to see where XT owners will go. For example, many Saab turbo enthusiasts went for Subaru.
There are many 2.0 turbo crossovers in “premium“ class but nothing that can compare with XT utility and with comparable performance.
I will hold onto my XT as long as possible hoping for decent Outback turbo or maybe more offerings in wagons.
