    2018 Forrester owner. In MN, when we get a 3+ ft of snow fall, the Subaru is the one we take out and have never been disappointed. Its a good value proposition. Average 32 MPG on the highway. Zero issues. Is it fun, no-is it reliable and predictable-yes.

      Our family had a Legacy 1992 worked everyday until Stolen last May 2023. Timing-belt originally until change in 2019. Two set of Rims and Tires for Summer and Winter. The Set of OEM Rims and Bridgestone Winter Tires were still on the Car when it was Stolen by a Tow-truck that used to tow our Vehicles by AMA... 😂 😂 of all the years, cost us 2 sets of CV-axels and 2 batteries. One time Transmission Fluids change and service. 2 sets of Sparkplugs ...
      We changed oil in the Garage; 5 minute Jobs and done every 4 months disregard of how many Miles driven; and we bought A Tank of Oil wholesale, so Engine-oil costs were very low like 10.00 Dollars a change. Radiator Fluid/Coolant changed every End of Summer by ourselves annually since 2005. And the 1992 needed nothing but Gasoline but very cheap back then until last 5 years which we have not driven as many miles as before.
      We also have an OB Made in USA, 2008 not as great, having some HG problems other than that everything has been alright.
      Cheers,

    I’m driving my 2016 Forester since new and I really like it. I wasn’t impressed by the styling of the newest generation in the beginning, but the longer I was watching the video, the more I’ve come to appreciate it.
    What I would improve in my car would be the road noise, so I’m happy Subaru is constantly moving in that direction.

      Mazda all High-end Model CX-'s were Made and still are made in Japan; and companies like Mazda and Mitsubishi learned from Subaru that Full-time or AWD are better for Owners ─ Safety, Better Tractions ─ Those can/could afford for a Car in Japan and or Asia; and or Australia/New Zealand ─ mileage Fuel Saving not on their mind.
      In USA has been a Unit Set of Situations where Some Models were only Made in USA, and some from Japan;
      But in Australia and New Zealand, all Subaru imported from Japan ─ and also Right-hand-Wheel ─ there have been less incidents of Problems like Head-gasket in Subaru Legacy and/or OB. Same applied to UK. So, they are cheaper and high quality of RHD Subaru for International Market.
      One can't order a Non-AWD Subaru but with Mazda and Mitsubishi ─ for Australia, Singapore New Zealand, Owners/Buyers still have choice to choose FWD only. That is the Difference that set Subaru from other Automakers. All Cars/Vehicles will be AWD and CVT = That made trimline simple and cost of production will go down. Subaru cares but will not bother with small set of Customers/Buyers want a Manual 6-speed Clutched Gearbox Transmission ─ Except if one is to order those Limited Edition WRX STI Red-painted Manifolds.

    That new dash console is awful. One of the nice things about the previous version was physical knobs to control temp and vents. Now you have to hope you're pressing the right area for the virtual controls. Hey Subaru, pay the extra dollar and give us knobs, not more touch screens. We're driving a car, not piloting a space ship. I'll hang on to my '23 Forester as the new model is now off my list of possibles.

    @menguardingtheirownwallets6791 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    It's a pretty good value if you buy the 'BASE' trim. The base trim has the 2.5L engine. If you want a Crosstrek with the 2.5L engine you have to buy a mid-level trim, and with that you are paying the same price as the base Forester, except with the Forester you have a lot more room inside of it, so that's why the base Forester is the best buy.

    There are no words that can describe how disappointed I am to see the physical knobs and buttons going away on these newer cars. As someone in the market for a new Subaru (since I just totaled my ‘21 outback), I was really hoping to look at the foresters physical buttons because the infotainment system is so laggy. It even shows in this video. For a company so focused on safety, these laggy screens are clunky and frustrating to do even simple things like change climate controls or operate any form of entertainment.

  • @ericpizarro3084

The only problem is that I love sooo much my 2021 Crosstrek Sport what will only make me have the two of them or convince my wife to sell her Ascent and get this one. Probably the way to go. Still her car have give her zero issues with almost 70,000 miles.

Got physical climate controls, extra half inch of ground clearance, lower gear axle ratio, smaller screen, skid plates, gold interior accents with custom floor mats, full size spare tire (with matching Enkei wheel)and transmission oil cooler which enables the vehicle to tow up to 3000 pounds. Talk about a win ! No wilderness model this year is strange 🧐 . Could not be happier with our purchase! Subaru…WTF Yo????

      There are few Catching Points here:
      The Foresters Have been Manufactured out of Japan ─ there are certain Grades and Fuel Types required by Japanese Governments; while as the OB in America came from Indiana ─ Therefore, they OB and Legacy WRX built with Different Set of Designs.
      The Foresters 2025 and Beyond, so are CrossTrek will be Made in USA, Indiana and Subaru will Phase out/Discontinue Subaru Legacy. Subaru is a Subsidiary of Toyoda ─ so they will have Hybrid designed by Toyoda and will Manufacture from Plants that currently and will be making both Subaru and Toyoda Hybrids. Cars/SUV.
      Regards,
      For Internationally Selling Markets like Australia and/or Canada, Europe ─ All Foresters, CrossTrek and/or Impreza WRX will be Manufactured (Japan)─ without the Wilderness Trim Model. (cheers)...

    They increased the base price by over $3000. Not a fan of the styling, doesn’t bear any resemblance to the new WRX and Crosstrek.

    Had a 2015 Forester and hated it. I liked the exterior design and the AWD and also had good visibility but it felt like a tin can with some of lightest most numb steering I've ever experienced. The heated seats didn't power on when you remote started the vehicle which the dealer didn't warn me about and was such a surprise, especially in Canada. Had endless issues with the heater/AC. I thought the CVT would grow on me, but didn't. Really regretted buying it and doubt I will ever purchase another Subaru. Their modern interpretations are so bland as well, hate the giant screens. After being an owner, I just can't figure out what people see in this brand. There is far better value out there in my opinion.

    It's 2024... If I ever buy a new car again I don't see how it can be anything but a hybrid. I can't touch Subaru Intel they bring out hybrids, and frankly that so-called new infotainment system looks so old and gaudy that I'm not sure I would pick the Forester even though it clicks most of my boxes.

    Hopefully, the Toyota hybrid system will provide plenty of power…

    You open the video touting that you aren't going to fool anyone about the fact that you drove the vehicle and then the actual driving impressions section of the video is literally less than 30 seconds worth of the 12 min video. I'm pretty sure this car is a mule lol and slug has better acceleration. Its a shame because I actually like the look of the thing but I dont want my motor to sound like its going to implode just to hit 45 mph.

    Watched about a dozen of these "Test drive Forester in Montana" videos. The lady reviewers tend to gush over the comfort features, but the guys balk over the poor acceleration, lack of a hybrid, and bland styling. Ladies think its a good deal for the price, guys want everything for $10 K less.

    Subaru has lost it's "off-road" capability since they switched to CVT . The Forester now is good only for city drivers.

    Hopefully the hybrid has a lot more power. This thing is too slow.

    Man if only they offered a more powerful option. I guess Since Toyota, Nissan, Honda all offer 1 engine in their mid-size cross over, they figure having a more powerful option is lame. So this Car still gets less than 200 hp. sad.

    Subaru is asking too much money,
    I bought 2016 Forester in 2020 with 50k miles for $12k
    Subaru maintenance is costly, too

    At least it looks better than the old one but that rear end is still heinous. It's like Subaru forgot how to design a car!

    Don't give a crap about infotainment systems, give me a cheaper vehicle. Will even do without power windows, AC and would actually like manual transmission. And AWD means if one tire goes, you have to replace ALL of them. Not a selling point, they don't do half of what people think they do.
