You can tell which of the two are the cinematographers, just by watching their solo videos. Moog: Cool shots, transitions, drone footage. Marty: One take go pro.
I used hate subis, then while looking for a new car, I test drove one and liked how it ran and handled, it took me years to accept how it looked, but after beating the cap out of it, I found them to be a great practical car. I now have another new outback and love it. Still have the old forester to.
@@morosis82 I just rebuilt the heads gaskets on my old subi. Runs great. Love that old car. Just had the newer one out in the sticks, fishing. I drive it places you will never take a different family car. I want to get a hot rod one now.
the old lady that pulls up next to moog at 5:00 thinks he's a spastic when he opens his door, shuts it and then is talking to himself. then she says something about him :D lol
Yep. Have taken an older model all the way to the top of Fraser Island, I don't get this rant either. I've had the XT, it's not a track weapon, it's a fast SUV for those that need to carry stuff but also want a bit of performance.
btw... for the gps thats connected to the handbrake... you can cut the wire and connect it to the positive wire from the sigaretlighter.. than the gps thinks its on the handbrake because its getting a pulse.. but you can still keep on driving...
Delayed throttle response sounds like electronic throttle and some nasty super-eco-green emissions settings to kill NOx or whatever. So I'm very curious to know if the new ECU flash fixed that particular problem? Oh and irritating things on my Honda S2000 (which I'm sure Moog will rant about at some stage) 1) yep, headlight washers... now connected to windscreen washers on AP2 cars 2) damn roof won't go up unless you're stopped AND handbraked -- wonderful when you're in slow, moving traffic and it starts raining. Seriously, the roof isn't going to get ripped off at 30km/h. But that's about all I have to complain about, which speaks volumes. It's been a fantastic car otherwise.
I have a '93 micra Super S with chopped lowering springs, stock dampers, a white bonnet covered in peeling black paint, a worn ball joint at the front, a screeching clutch release bearing, a stereo that whines with a pitch that increases with engine revs, no spare wheel or parcel shelf, front fogs wired seperately to a switch in dash with coils of household electrical wire and brake disks at the front so thin I swear the flex when I brake hard. I love it.
I know this video was published a long time ago but there is something which Moog said that bothered me and it's about the stock ride height. Why would he complain about that? It's an SUV, not a sedan. You can't expect it to be low like the S15.
height is ok for me, is accesible to all terrains and is fun for a suv, but the softness its ridiculus the suspension is crap make me feel insecure in high speeds.
Yes and no My brother had a 04 forester and I have a 2010 forester and they handle like completely different vehicles. Yes the new body shape is a big higher but the stock suspension is not what it needs to be. A stiffer rear sway bar is a must. An sti impreza one ftw. Maybe do the pedders springs I wouldn't go as low as moog in mine tho for sure because like you said it's an SUV. I sold my Legacy wagon and bought the Forester because it is as fun to drive but I can drive over more stuff.
Man, i just bought sh and i also have a lifted (1inch) pajero pinin (known as io, shogun). Pinin has common kayaba all round (from io on the front and old pajero 1 on the back. Stock springs). Pajero has better dumping and steering than forester. I'm thinking about coilovers for sh
What sucks about recent cars? They have their own brains which takes all the driving fun out the windshield and smashed by the wheels. Yes, self parking cars will scrape your parking skills when frequently used; what would happen to you if you have to drive one that doesn't park itself? Cruise control can get you drowsy; and if you want to go faster, you can't until you hit a button or worse, without the button you have to step on the freaking brake pedal. What's next, self driving cars? That sucks! Might as well just take the bus and pay a little for the driver rather than the already rich oil companies only. I have nothing against Subarus, I actually dream on having one. Its just that some of these "innovations" are made to create Homo Dumbpiens, and I did not name all of them because this could get four times longer.
I had a 01 gc8 for 12 years and had no complaints. except for all the times I blown head gaskets, had to install new timing belts, water pump, and wheel bearings twice. I had a evap solenoid go out and had to find a mechanic that was brave enough to try and fix it. The rear brakes would often have to be replaced. O2 sensor for the catalytic converter would throw trouble codes every 6 months.
I bought a 2012 WRX for a daily shortly after Moog got this Forester and I've been extremely happy with my purchase! I must admit the passenger seat belt alarm is very annoying though LOL.
there is actually a way to get rid of that beep from the seatbelt thing if you like put the car in the on position, and plug and unplug the seatbelt thing like 30 times or something, there is a write up somewhere
It was the 240sx in the US. Saying S13 implies a Nissan Sylvia. They do share the same chassis, in fact the front clip of the 180sx can be affixed to an S13 Sylvia, which is popular among drifters because the parts are cheaper. MOOG had an S15 Sylvia that he had to sell after losing to Marty.
I too went from a S15 R to a Forester XT. I couldn't go back now, even though the S15 is the best looking shape I've ever seen. I'm 31 and need more comfort. I will miss my S15 though.
supercowmoo3 im happy i converted mine back to cable... i had a drive-by-wire system but even vauxhall sells a convert kit with an ECU software removal for the DBW.. my car would not respond to the pedal one morning when i needed my car...
My dad had one of those systems in his 06 Holden commodore, and it was always playing up. The ironic thing is that he sold his 95 Holden caprice V8 (High performance Australian luxury car) to by the commodore because he wanted something that was, and I quote "less technical and with less electronic crap to go wrong". Me and my mum still laugh about it.
I have a MY11 Forester XT and the beeping problem was addressed on that model year by using a more subtle ding. I have also opted out for the subaru mesh grill as well.
Marty bought it for him because he lost the Subaru vs Nissan challenge. And he does like it but still likes nissans more. Luckily he has his mint 180sx
2:00 the accerator pedal isn't actually connected to the engine, its a drive by wire set-up that all new cars have. basically you press on the accelerator and it tells the computer that you want to speed up and then the computer will open the throttle, this is particulary bad on subaru's i stall outbacks all the time because of the lag
I'm doing Latin while watching this and the phrase that keeps coming up is Sum Nauta, which means I am a Sailor. Feels appropriate for Moog's rant on the forester being a boat
For the handbrake, just do like the Corvette guys do with CAGS, fool the ECU. Relocate the switch and force it to act as if the brake was on. Make it reversible so you can undo it for inspection. You can do the same with the seat belt or just keep the belt buckled.
Yup modern technology in these new Subi's can get irritating , It is just the little tech things that annoy Moog , These can be fixed easily as well ! :)
PS. The laptop beeping thing is in most cars because 1,5kg can couse death when you crash and thouse 1,5kg flyes around. Light washers dont work when you have daylights or when you turn your lights of (alsow in many many cars). Turbolag is quite natural and pressure is quite normal sow dont be surprised on that :)
You know you can disable that seatbelt warning. It's pretty easy too. Get in the car and turn the key to ACC, take your seatbelt and put it in and out of the buckle like 20 times in 30 seconds of turning the key. On the 21st time leave it buckled and turn the car on. That's it, after you do that the seatbelt warning will be gone. This works on all Subaru's.
MY10 FXT owner here and wanted to add an extra crap bit being the stock brakes which are shockingly awful, maybe alright for mum's groceries run but forget about stopping decently if you hit boost quite regularly.
My 09 civic si sedan locks all the doors when I go over 10km/h or so, which is fine. The problem is that when I stop the car it only unlocks the driver door. EVERY TIME i have passengers they all get locked in. Plus the doors refuse to stay open. They either close on my leg or I have to hold them open with my foot while I climb out .
The massive turbo lag and acceleration out of the residue pressure from turbo after lifting is shared with WRX. Also the annoying beep ignoring driver presence or slowing down alltogether. But lowering the Forester? I'd make it stiffer and possibly lift it even more, it is really capable off-road for a SUV.
And when upgrading things the engine bay is a nightmare. Simply changing the BPV means you have to remove the intercooler to connect it to the recirc hose.
You can disable the seat belt alarm by unbuckling you seat belt like 30 times in 60 seconds and doing some other stuff, you can find it online I've disabled the alarm on all my cars including a 07 Subaru outback. Good luck Moog
the seat belt beeping can be turned off by turning the key into on but dont start then click the seatbelt in and back out within 30 seconds then turn the key off and it will do the normal 3 beeps when it starts but wont keep warning you as you keep driving
Please take the roll of Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear, your comments and reactions and wit is so much like his its scary. You would be the perfect plug in, and Marty could be Captain Slow with his MX-5 and technical knowledge of cars, as for Hammond, I'm sure you could find some goofball to play him. Cheers from the U.S!
😂 I own a 2008 Forester and mine is the same story.I'm the second owner and mine is missing the front left splash guard, the front right wheel is the same style but a different finish cause it's actually from an outback, the rear seats have been reapolstered, the sunroof is cracked but doesn't leak, the paint on the outside doesn't match exactly and one or two panels have been repainted with a terribly matched paint job, the bulbs for the headlights were not installed correctly and were pointed towards the sky, and before I changed the air filter when you started the cars heater it all smelled like weed. Gotta love that second hand subie life
With my 06 WRX I was able to fix the seatbelt issue, just shove your seatbelt in and out of the hole multiple times fast (you have to hold down the release button)
well my 1990 honda accord EX 2 door is my first real car that iv bought and owned and only i driven i guess i dont have as much to complain about as you do Moog but here I go. Well the only real major thing i have to complain about is on the passenger seat there is a lever for the rear passengers to pull on to move the front seat foward on the inner side about elbow height. every time i pull the hand brake i smash my elbow into it and holding my elbow in great pain for 5 to 10 min. every time..
I live in a family of 3 (going on 4) Subarus... all Imprezas so far. I completely understand everything you said Moog. As far as styling goes.. that's all personal oppinion. IMHO, your Forester is one of the sexiest ones I've ever seen! The beeping is COMPLETELY annoying. And as for the throttle prob.. it's because in 2005 Subaru switched to an electronic throttle... no more direct control though a wire. Which is CRAP! BUT! I'm a Subaru buyer for LIFE! I'll be sad when your beast is gone!
if you think that suspension was bad try a Hyundai terracan. as for the headlight washers, in my 350z if the lights are on and I use the windscreen wash it also does the headlights but sprays all over the place. I have the convertable. many an accidental hair wash at traffic lights.
The car was beeping because it was swearing after all the things you said about it lol
This doesn't sound like Subaru problems, but rather modern car problems.
haha, no joke.
Yup I have almost the same problems in my Mazda 6
***** It's called 'Luxury' No more support for us sports car guys.
*****
actually a digital speedo is in fact more accurate than a mechanical.
that's exactly what i was thinking. i cant bare the idea of having to live with a modern car
You can tell which of the two are the cinematographers, just by watching their solo videos.
Moog: Cool shots, transitions, drone footage.
Marty: One take go pro.
well this mighty car mods is suppose to be about cars... which Marty has much better taste so... whatever
Moog is the artist and Marty is the engineer so it makes perfect sense
*crane footage.
If it can detect wight on the seat it should let the passenger operate the gps.
+faizan joyia (mac man)
If only it was able to establish if the passenger is actually the person operating it.
;)
+faizan joyia (mac man) It's an easy fix moving the ground wire.
that's what I thought as well.
omg. Problem solved.

+DayRider76 They just work...
Welcome brother.
They (used to be, at least) a function over form car. I've owned 3 Foresters, unstoppable if you accept their limitations.
@@morosis82 I just rebuilt the heads gaskets on my old subi. Runs great. Love that old car. Just had the newer one out in the sticks, fishing. I drive it places you will never take a different family car. I want to get a hot rod one now.
I just turned 412,000 miles on my 2003 Forester....7th Subie since 1984
Watching this 11 years later makes this video so much funnier 😂
the old lady that pulls up next to moog at 5:00 thinks he's a spastic when he opens his door, shuts it and then is talking to himself. then she says something about him :D lol
8 minutes of yelling. Damn son.
The accelerator being ahead of time; it was designed for a jedi. Any decent jedi needs a good second of buffer time to comp for the force.
This is under rated
Wasn't the Forrester marketed as an "off road" vehicle.. Thats why its high and the suspension isn't like a race car..
Yep. Have taken an older model all the way to the top of Fraser Island, I don't get this rant either. I've had the XT, it's not a track weapon, it's a fast SUV for those that need to carry stuff but also want a bit of performance.
my car sounds like a toy when i put it in reverse
btw... for the gps thats connected to the handbrake... you can cut the wire and connect it to the positive wire from the sigaretlighter.. than the gps thinks its on the handbrake because its getting a pulse.. but you can still keep on driving...
And do the same to the seat belts
This episode is the perfect example of why Moog is just awesome.
Moog uses the best analogies that I've ever heard.
Delayed throttle response sounds like electronic throttle and some nasty super-eco-green emissions settings to kill NOx or whatever. So I'm very curious to know if the new ECU flash fixed that particular problem?
Oh and irritating things on my Honda S2000 (which I'm sure Moog will rant about at some stage)

2) damn roof won't go up unless you're stopped AND handbraked -- wonderful when you're in slow, moving traffic and it starts raining. Seriously, the roof isn't going to get ripped off at 30km/h.
But that's about all I have to complain about, which speaks volumes. It's been a fantastic car otherwise.

I love it.
being unable to do a timing belt job on my 1995 Lancer GSR EVO 3. Having to pull the engine out to do it is, a pain IN THE ASS
When I'm bored in the office, videos of Moog reviewing cars will definitely cheer me up.
+Justin Jovellanos
No offence but....
" Hide yo' kids.... hide yo wife..."
+ShaneyPo0 HA!!!
Maybe the tune-in-a-box caused the accelerator issue
It's a common problem with drive-by-wire throttle. It's been improved on later model cars though
I love Moog's comments,it's so funny, thumbs up

It's not though the Forester was always a wagon until this model, which is kind of a hybrid wagon/suv
Yes and no
My brother had a 04 forester and I have a 2010 forester and they handle like completely different vehicles.
Yes the new body shape is a big higher but the stock suspension is not what it needs to be.
A stiffer rear sway bar is a must. An sti impreza one ftw.

Spot on. I couldn't have ranted any better. "Homo Dumbpiens" priceless.
after watching your video on this car i went and bought one as my first car and all i can say is i love it
the only problem with this review. Every modern car has these problems.
so true
That's why it'll be 90s tuners for me for quite a while
I had a 01 gc8 for 12 years and had no complaints. except for all the times I blown head gaskets, had to install new timing belts, water pump, and wheel bearings twice. I had a evap solenoid go out and had to find a mechanic that was brave enough to try and fix it. The rear brakes would often have to be replaced.

My 04 forester doesn't do any of these things
dj red hare aus because it's a much better vehicle
Neither does my 02 lol
Just blows head gaskets
Neither does my 05 😂
Nor my 09
Just bought one. Can't wait to get it moving quicker!
Everybody is arguing over cars and I'm just here looking at his Metallica shirt
haha yeah I noticed too
That seat belt beeper annoyed me so much i had to find it & remove it! It is possible to do this the flashing warning light still works.
"They are ugly. ALL OF THEM" lmao
I bought a 2012 WRX for a daily shortly after Moog got this Forester and I've been extremely happy with my purchase! I must admit the passenger seat belt alarm is very annoying though LOL.
Sounds like moog really loved that forrester
Haha yeah
Clever comment. You're winning so far!!
I drive a 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. I don't even need to list off the reasons why it's crap. You just know.
there is actually a way to get rid of that beep from the seatbelt thing if you like put the car in the on position, and plug and unplug the seatbelt thing like 30 times or something, there is a write up somewhere
moog did your s15 come factory with gps, didn't think so. Stop being salty!
your trying to compare a older car to a newer car. Apples to oranges.
Factory GPS is usually pretty shit, thats not a bad thing
Dude, didn't you test drive it before buying?
things that suck about my 2005 Nissan Micra:
1. it needs AC
2. it looks like an upturned arse cheek. its ridiculous.
Yes, and the can in the video is a 180sx model. When people say S13, they are referring to the Sylvia model.
"when i was accelerating towards a corner"... who ACCELERATES towards a corner...?
Race car drivers
It was the 240sx in the US. Saying S13 implies a Nissan Sylvia. They do share the same chassis, in fact the front clip of the 180sx can be affixed to an S13 Sylvia, which is popular among drifters because the parts are cheaper. MOOG had an S15 Sylvia that he had to sell after losing to Marty.
Please make more reviews :')
Moog, if you don't fuze the wires under the seat, you can just remove the beeper from behind the dash.
it didn't pass the shoe test :D
I too went from a S15 R to a Forester XT. I couldn't go back now, even though the S15 is the best looking shape I've ever seen. I'm 31 and need more comfort. I will miss my S15 though.
love the videos... have to stop watching unless you stop yelling
best video you made yet mate
fucking hate drive by wire
supercowmoo3 im happy i converted mine back to cable... i had a drive-by-wire system but even vauxhall sells a convert kit with an ECU software removal for the DBW.. my car would not respond to the pedal one morning when i needed my car...

If it's such a shitty car, why did you buy it?
+JustinFH

He should import a stb sti from japan
Marty bought it for him because he lost the Subaru vs Nissan challenge.
And he does like it but still likes nissans more.
Luckily he has his mint 180sx
someone give this man a medal.
Subaru is ugly? Coming from a Honda owner, also I bet my 560hp subaru can cream ur crap Honda Any day!
I think moog was talking about its looks not performance, subarus maybe fast but most are fucking ugly
Yeh good point but the 2004 sti sedan with a body kit is pretty darn nice! 😃
faraz Zubair any year impreza imo is good looking
faraz Zubair dude i bet my 0hp bicycle could beat his crap honda
by the way ALL LEGACY WRX AND FORESTER ARE REALLY GOOD LOOKING
I agree with you subarus look awesome!
He hates subaru but he's making sence cause that seat belt warning alarm is annoying 😂
the only thing that suck about this car is you driving it.
not nice
I agree with the Moog somewhat, I owned a bugeye wrx and hated the look, but it completely grew on me and I now love the bugeye look!!
This review was awesome, you should do more reviews when you can.
I dislike car reviews, but this one was awesome! Hilarious.
Thanks for the whole MCM, too! Keep up the great job!
That was the most amusing rant I've ever seen!
As a fellow Subaru owner I can only agree on most points, especially the thing with the seat belt..
Ok better, but there was still various models of WRX and STi models? Any favorite years?
2:00 the accerator pedal isn't actually connected to the engine, its a drive by wire set-up that all new cars have. basically you press on the accelerator and it tells the computer that you want to speed up and then the computer will open the throttle, this is particulary bad on subaru's i stall outbacks all the time because of the lag
9 years later this has come on handy for me 😂
nice rant. interesting end........ so how is the power delivery? is it easy to mod and get decent power?
I'm doing Latin while watching this and the phrase that keeps coming up is Sum Nauta, which means I am a Sailor. Feels appropriate for Moog's rant on the forester being a boat
2:07-2:52, try cleaning the throttle body and resetting the K.A.M. Though "drive-by-wire" systems do tend to have a bit of a delay, regardless.
For the handbrake, just do like the Corvette guys do with CAGS, fool the ECU. Relocate the switch and force it to act as if the brake was on. Make it reversible so you can undo it for inspection. You can do the same with the seat belt or just keep the belt buckled.
2020 squad, laught really hard about the bungee platform 😂
Yup modern technology in these new Subi's can get irritating , It is just the little tech things that annoy Moog , These can be fixed easily as well ! :)
It's not just Subaru it's all new cars. My BRZ, the 3 series I had prior, my dad's Silverado and my mom's Jetta all do the same thing all 09+.
Thomas Gionet
Caveat, my BRZ has the Forester Nav in it. It exists solely to cause brain aneurysms.
PS. The laptop beeping thing is in most cars because 1,5kg can couse death when you crash and thouse 1,5kg flyes around. Light washers dont work when you have daylights or when you turn your lights of (alsow in many many cars). Turbolag is quite natural and pressure is quite normal sow dont be surprised on that :)
For the beeper...Just open up the little thingy where your seatbelt clips and remove the sensor....Did that in my Sienna and it worked!
moog should review more cars. im loving this video style.
I am aware that both the 180sx and Sylvia S13 were both on the S13 chassis.
You know you can disable that seatbelt warning. It's pretty easy too. Get in the car and turn the key to ACC, take your seatbelt and put it in and out of the buckle like 20 times in 30 seconds of turning the key. On the 21st time leave it buckled and turn the car on.

But lowering the Forester? I'd make it stiffer and possibly lift it even more, it is really capable off-road for a SUV.
On my friends MY11 STI the seatbelt sensor beeping could be disabled by repeatedly clicking the seatbelt something like 50 times or around there.
yes, the S15 was sold. but he bought marty an S13 a few months back.
The added spring clearance is good for snow and offroad in alot of places.
I love your reviews.
And when upgrading things the engine bay is a nightmare. Simply changing the BPV means you have to remove the intercooler to connect it to the recirc hose.

😂 I own a 2008 Forester and mine is the same story.I'm the second owner and mine is missing the front left splash guard, the front right wheel is the same style but a different finish cause it's actually from an outback, the rear seats have been reapolstered, the sunroof is cracked but doesn't leak, the paint on the outside doesn't match exactly and one or two panels have been repainted with a terribly matched paint job, the bulbs for the headlights were not installed correctly and were pointed towards the sky, and before I changed the air filter when you started the cars heater it all smelled like weed.

Love your review style.
What do you think of the XV Crosstrek?
I would love to see your review on it.
the reason the car keeps beeping is that you didnt take out the keys. i drive a chevy and the two beeps are exactly the same.
I love you Moog.
With my 06 WRX I was able to fix the seatbelt issue, just shove your seatbelt in and out of the hole multiple times fast (you have to hold down the release button)
man, a handbrake drift around a corner while adjusting the GPS would have been epic lol
@ 5:58 my Volvo XC60 does the same thing its so annoying. You should make diy video of how to make a separate button for the headlamp washers
I have an 07 eclipse too, and I genuinely can't believe it doesnt have an aux port
This was a great laugh :D especially the airbag sensor and "it keeps accelerating" segments

The beeping is COMPLETELY annoying. And as for the throttle prob.. it's because in 2005 Subaru switched to an electronic throttle... no more direct control though a wire. Which is CRAP!
BUT! I'm a Subaru buyer for LIFE! I'll be sad when your beast is gone!
if you think that suspension was bad try a Hyundai terracan. as for the headlight washers, in my 350z if the lights are on and I use the windscreen wash it also does the headlights but sprays all over the place. I have the convertable. many an accidental hair wash at traffic lights.
I actually like how Moog changed on the front of the forester.
