Driving in the Philippines can be both a chore and a pleasure. For one, you’ve got beautiful winding roads in places like Bataan, but you’ve also got badly paved roads like the notorious truck lane in C5 in Metro Manila–the latter of which can even be a proving ground for testing a vehicle’s suspension. It’s no wonder that many Filipinos have gravitated to SUVs–mostly towards seven-seater body-on-frame ones based on their pickup siblings. Unfortunately, while these SUVs more than meet the needs of Filipinos, they tend to compromise on handling and maneuverability due to their size and construction. However, if you want a crossover that’s both dynamically well-tuned and yet uncompromising in terms of dealing with the rougher stuff, the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek might fit your needs better.
