(That's the technical industry term, believe it or not.)Įven though we hired a dog as our greeter, we really do love cats. There's more "dead cat space" between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel well. "Travel" also allows a little more body roll in corners, however, so the Impreza performs better on the track. "Travel" is just a fancy way of saying that there is more space for the suspension to compress, which results in a more compliant ride. Subaru raised the suspension on the Crosstrek so it has more "travel" up and down over bumps.
