I've had my 2023, Forester Wilderness fkr more than a year (mileage 13855). Even with a Yakima Skybox on the roof, I can get 27 miles,on the Highway. The cars battery was defective and repaced under warranty. The infotainment system has frozen twice, but is easily corrected with a reset that takes 15 seconds and Aubaru is working on a fix. The car is enormously fun to drive offroad, utterly capable onroad, beautiful to me ( my Wilderness is in geyser blue). It's too early to say definitvely, but I've had 34 cars and 4 Subarus and tgis is my ABSOLUTE favorite.i
My 22’ Forester Wilderness has 18,000 miles and no issues. Looking forward to the 2026 Forester Wilderness and hope they do not place that new 2025 grill on the 2026 Forester Wilderness.
2024 Wilderness owner for about 6 months. Getting about 25-28 mpg all around depending on weather but since spring 27-28 consistently. So that’s been my range. Those getting significantly less are either in S mode or heavy on the peddle, or running high AC or something. Just drive normal. No wireless CarPlay is not that much of an issue. Bluetooth works well enough, and it’s not a big deal for me to plug a phone in. Only real issue with the car to me is that Road noise is noticeable (but not terrible), mostly from the tires I feel. The stereo is nice sounding so that helps hide the road noise.
@@entropyfu correct 99% of my commute is on pavement. However it’s the summer and spring weekends that i got off roading… this isn’t a fricken Abraham’s tank review it’s for a off road packaged car

Best car I’ve ever owned….just shy of 20 thousand kilometres..Canada eh
Best part is the price. I was going to buy a Tahoe until I saw how much they were wanted for it 😂

They are not digital gauge clusters - the Rev counter and speedometer are analog
Just had mine for 3 month already has electrical issues
Hi @bennyvo5045 What were your issues ? I'm thinking about getting the 2024 wilderness soon and was wondering about their warranty and all. ty!
What were the issues?
I average 18.5 MPG driving 2023 Subaru Forester Wilderness around town, IDK about that 28 mph :D
I said that too lol like 22 mpg but after driving another 3,000 miles or so I get 27 easy with mix driving si im happy with it now.
Same here. I’m at 2,600 now & am averaging 19-20mpg….. I hope that changes down the road after it’s broken in a bit.
I have the sport, I average 27.9 mpg between street and freeway. I was surprised how little the differences there are between the 2.

I get 31 mpg overall . During winter the mpg goes down and in the first 3-5000 miles it’s lower then it smooths out.
Plug in for Apple? That sucks!!!!! My outback wilderness has many problem with Apple car play!
Wired Apple carplay buy you can get a wireless adapter for 70 dollars or so, you just plug it in a usb and it works great. No problems
No one cares about apple
@@garrettpatterson9490I do because the navigation through Subaru sucks!
Thank apple for that
@@rainfallsdistances what does Subaru's poor infotainment integration have to do with apple? Idiot.
These driving reviews are so useless with an off road wilderness. Use it on the trail !!
most people are just taking them to costco anyway
