Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The engine was pretty middle of the road. More power (with a lighter feeling vehicle) than the Honda HRV, more features at the base than the CX-30, and better infotainment than the Subaru Crosstrek.
  • It's a great vehicle if you aren't looking for something that thrills. I've been test driving all the cars in this segment and the Corolla Cross is one of the few that gives basically anything you would want in the base model. It actual...
  • For $20k-$25k though, yah it’s possible to find some used Toyota RAV4s, Corolla Cross’s, Mazda CX-5 with heated seats and a sunroof.
  • The Toyota corolla cross is a great little run around car that's not too big and should retain value better.
  • I'd get a corolla cross, I think

Cons

  • Everything about the Toyota felt cheaply made to me.
  • There are also smaller SUVs like the Honda HR-V or Corolla Cross(which is different than a Corolla) which might be worth looking at.
  • It's reliable but the interior leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. If you want Toyota reliability and don't care about cheap feeling hard plastics and rattles, it's the car for you.
  • I wanted a Corolla Cross but I seen the engine was underperforming.
  • I wouldn’t trust this on any of our trails in Colorado. It’s just made to hurt pedestrians and get worse fuel economy than the car they already own.

It's a great vehicle if you aren't looking for something that thrills. I've been test driving all the cars in this segment and the Corolla Cross is one of the few that gives basically anything you would want in the base model. It actually was cheaper than similar equipped competitors, which I didn't expect from a Toyota.

One good thing about he Cross is that your interest on it would be tax-deductible through 2028 since it's made in the US.

Both are more reliable long term than either of your current picks and might be worth the extra few grand if you're planning to keep it past warranty anyway
