Researched this car segment for the last 2 months, my findings, - 5th gen forester rated #1 in safety and readability over all others including RAV, trial hawk, honda and bronco sport. That said, it has been a long road for Subaru from the CVT tranny , oil consumption, head gasket issues of past generation vehicles. At 6'3, CR just announced the Forester is #1 with tall drivers as well, no surprise as the "green house" visibility is very attractive. All the safety dings can be disabled permanently, with the exception of engine on/off at stop. After market solution will solve that as well. So, I will be picking up my Subaru Forester Wilderness / pearl white next week. Comfortable driving on and off road, safety and readability, looks, honest service advisors that I have visited with during this time, all have pushed me this direction. And finally driving my daughters 2017 Forester premium, sold me on being a Subie owner. Suggested maintenance to ensure long life; 30k diff (F/R) service, 40k CVT Transmission service, and oil changes every 4k. Compared to the Outback, Off road analysis/videos show the turbo in the Outback gets totally in the way of performance when climbing, as the Forester's new gearing and software changes bring much more to the equation over the turbo, in my opinion. th-cam.com/video/ZF_JtgJ7aKQ/w-d-xo.html HAPPY TRAILS
I have owned 2 Outbacks over the years, right now I own a 2021 Tundra CrewMax! I'm second guessing whether I need that much vehicle! I see the Outback Wilderness and makes me miss its versatility and of course better milage!😉 I know they are Apples and Oranges but......🤔
Wilderness is a good looking car 😍👍
Best looking car in the group
What state is this? Looks beautiful.
Agreed! This is in Daniel Boone National Forest in central Kentucky.

I like the look of these. Subaru forester are good. It's a shame, the UK doesn't sell this model. I could get a forester and upgrade it...
Very nice. What cross bars you running on the wilderness?
Nice video, is that forester stock height? That was really impressive
Yep, stock height Forester with stock size Falken Wildpeak tires!
грязь со щебенкой под водой, зима без сугробов - там не запорожце проехать можно
Nice music, video to short.
Don't forget your snorkle so the engine doesn't get water in it
