Yeah, for sure...Turbo's love thin air!You must get the turbo in Colorado if you ever go to the mountains or the SC will feel like the underpowered Crosstrek.
I have an sel and live at the base of the mountains and the base engine Is fine if not towing in high mountains. No complaints love the SCAny test drive impressions from the non turbo model posted yet?
Trust me as a former Silverthorne resident now living in the flat lands near Buffalo you want/need the turbo! I personally did not get one for where i live now but i spent much of my time in the mountains living at 9000 plus feet and the standard non turbo would be a super dog! Spend the extra cash and you will have a sweet vehicle for some Colorado Cruzin!The Santa Cruz is about to make it way to Colorado and I'm just looking for opinions. Is the smaller engine sufficient or is the turbo the way to go? Also for those that have seen them in person, which colors have impressed you the most?
