    Rally is far more than just being able to go offroad. A crosstrek is fine at going offroad, but it is far from ideal for anything rally.

        Yeah, it didn’t make sense. “To do rally but it’s not a rally vehicle” to which I was confirming that rally is a specific thing and a crosstrek isn’t suited for it.

          Dude if you put rally suspension on its a rally vehicle. I don’t get your point. A wrx isn’t a rally vehicle without rally suspension either.

          No vehicle is a rally vehicle until you decide to make it one. No truck is a rally truck until you put rally suspension etc on it. You are making it sound like only a wrx is a rally vehicle.

            No, there are plenty of other rally vehicles, but a crosstrek isn’t one. You also realize that WRX stands for World Rally eXperimental. I also am not sure you know what rally racing is, I feel like you just think it’s a fun word for “off-road” but there are also tarmac stages where you don’t need ground clearance. The WRX is literally a road version of a rally car, the crosstrek is a CUV with ground clearance, that is literally just the point I was making. Either way rally doesn’t mean off-road, it is a specific type of racing that sometimes goes off-road, but is actually on roads the vast majority of the time, just not always paved.

              I gotta go do shit but I’ll reply later. I feel like we actually both agree here. We’re just arguing over definitions or something.
