I went out and bought this exact color and trim. You’re right! This car looks great in white and I can’t believe all the bells and whistles it has for a “Premium” model! Test drove the Wilderness version but couldn’t really pinpoint enough differences to justify the $40K+ price…..pretty much felt like the same car. I’m so glad I bought this car!!!
👍🏻👍🏻 The Forester may be the best value available. She may not be the prettiest girl at the dance but I would have no problem sporting her around town or driving her hard out in the woods.
Well said! 😜
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208Is the climate control different from previous years of this generation? If so could you do a close up/review? Thanks!
No the climate controls are the same from all 2019-2024s. The new gen, at least with the 11.6” screen will be electronic, which many people don’t like.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Thanks! Just ordered a 24 Premium trim!
😂
I have a 2010 and it has 155,000 miles and runs excellent. I’m going to be getting a new one early next year.
I’m glad to hear it’s help up well, enjoy the new one when it comes! 🙂
Any issues? I’m thinking of keeping mine after my lease is up
I went and test drove the Premium and Sport today. I will be getting one this week. So excited!
That’s super exciting!! 🙂
Which one?
same here had an accord....ehhh, needed something bigger im tall so...and I was like drives like a beast.
Just bought mine 👍 2024 Forester
Nice!!
Informative and clean. Thank you!
I just bought a new 2023 Premium Forester...CD player works great! I also prefer the back spoiler matching the color of my car vs. all black. It looks more integrated.
I like that with this "best value" Premium trim, Subaru trimmed the seats with gray vinyl, instead of doing cloth all around the seating area. I like the light interior over the dark and gloomy black found in soo many low and mid-priced vehicles.
Does the black interior still have the fake leather on the sides? Looking at a bronze premium online with black interior.
@@BB-xn1rw yes, the Premiums come with cloth seating surface with the vinyl sides.
Thanks to your video I just purchased a 2024 forester premium. Trade in my 2021 4Runner which I loved but the gas prices and the amount of driving to and from work made me go looking for another well made Japanese vehicle. Thanks for putt this informative video together 👍👍👍
I’m so glad my video was helpful and congrats on our new Forester! What trim level was your 4R and what kind of MPG and daily mileage do you put on?
Recently I made an OBW vs. 4R video because I have an OBW and I’m currently fighting the urge to want a 4R lol. I also drive a lot and use to own Toyota trucks. And in the last few weeks I’ve driven another 4R, 2nd gen taco, and a 5.7 tundra yesterday. They’re definitely all old inefficient feeling vehicles, but super solid and reliable. 😂
Just got a 2020 Forester love it best car I've ever driven
That’s awesome!!
Thanks for your video. It helped me make a decision. I'm getting my 2024 Forester Premium (exact one in your video) this Tuesday 😊❤
Oh course, I’m so glad you found it useful! Congrats on the new ride, I’m sure Tuesday can’t come soon enough!
Nice review!!!! Love your videos
Thanks! That means a lot, I’m glad you enjoy them. 😊
I love my 2023 Forester limited in forest green!
Very informative an entertaining review. I agree with you about the CD player they should have left that in there.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
@15:10 cray-cray driving at its finest! AA, YOU ROCK!
Lol 👍
I just ordered a 2024 Premium Forester some 3 weeks ago. 8-10 week delivery time,. I wanted the Ice Silver Metallic and none were available in that particular color. I have seen a few pictures of the 2025 Forester but a couple items I do not care for. One is the touchscreen . I prefer actual physical buttons instead of the touchscreen. Second the 2025 Forester has FORESTER imprinted into the real lift gate. That does not appeal to me. I base all my vehicle purchases on Consumer Reports. CR advice is redesigned vehicles the first year out have problem areas that require a fix. So I would not purchase the 2025 Forester because it is a redesign. I am age 71 and chose the 2024 Forester for the adaptive headlights....the excellent outward visibility.... along with the other numerous safety features. CR also highly recommends the 2024 Forester.
You can’t go wrong with the 24, it’s a fantastic vehicle! 🙂
Great video I'm considering a new 2024 Forester Premium and the dealer said it has and I saw a CD player in it not as an optional add on. Which is a selling factor for me.
It’s really disappointing that Subaru took that away. 😕
I thought it was the best value of all of the Foresters. This was the exact one (2023) I settled on. In black. It was down to this, the CX5 Preferred, and the Tiguan SE. I test drove the hell out of all of them. This was the most comfortable. My right knee doesn't hit anything. It's quicker than advertised, very planted around corners, and the mpg's are 34 hwy and 22 city. I don't mind the CVT trans at all. All weather mats and cargo tray, bumper cover, and sear back protectors are recommended. Happy as hell that I chose this.
I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Good pick. 😎
Thanks. I have a 2014 Forester with 195,000 miles on it. I'm considering a replacement with a newer Forester. Your insights here were helpful.
That’s awesome, and I’m glad my videos could help you! Any CVT or other issues worth mentioning over the 10 years?
Subaru paid to replace the short engine block at 95,000 miles due to heavy oil consumption. I also replaced the CVT transmission around 105,000 with a used one when the original failed.@@AutomotiveAnonymous208
As a 2017 xt trim owner I really like the 2025 model inside and out so I’m waiting till next year
You may want to rethink the massive touchscreen. I don't like it.
Good review.
Thanks, I’m glad you decided to watch it! 🙂
I'm having a difficult time warming up to the body of the 2025. I prefer the smooth lines of the 2024, and so much so we bought the 24" Touring. Great Videos. Also I own an Acura RDX, Subaru is a better drive.
I am excited to one it in person, but I also feel unsure about it based off of what I’ve seen online. That’s awesome! Does your 24 have a CD player either in the 8” head unit or the center console? Acuras are cool, but modern Subarus do drive so well like you’re saying! Thanks for watching. 🙂
I just ordered a 2024 Forester Premium 3 weeks ago. 8-10 week delivery. I wanted the Ice Silver Metallic . None were available in that color. I buy all our vehicles based on reviews from Consumers Reports. CRs thinking is not to rush (avoid if possible) any vehicle models redesign for the first year. Looking at the photos of the 2025 two items I do not care for. One is the touchscreen instead of physical buttons. Second the FORESTER stamped into the rear lift gate. So the 2024 will do fine for my needs. Garners great reviews from CR is a huge plus. The lack of a cd player is no concern to me. I am 71 years old and never play the radio in my present vehicle due to being distracted. Adaptive headlights, great outward visibility, along the numerous other safety factors are reasons I chose the 2024 Forester.
WE HAVE GOT TO GET SUBARU TO INVITE YOU TO THESE UNVEILINGS. @@AutomotiveAnonymous208
WE TOO WANTED THE ICE SILVER METALLIC SO WENT TO THE TOURING TRIM TO GET IT. THIS IS ONE SWEET DRIVE. YES THAT STAMPED FORESTER ON THE 2025 REAR IS WEIRD. @@randolphwilson211
@@randolphwilson211 Both our Outback (my wife’s car) and my Forester Touring models are 2019 year models.
In 26-27 we’ll sell her Outback and buy a new Forester Touring Hybrid as she still commutes to work.
I bought my Forester Touring because I wanted the saddle Brown interior, but I have only 14K miles on my Forester, as I retired early when I was 42, (a year before meeting my wife), so I seldom drive very much. I’m now in my late 50s, so I’ll probably be driving my Forester until either I can no longer drive or I die.
We have a 2011 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4WD that we mainly use for work around our property and it has only 36K miles on it, so we know that we’ll be driving it until we die as well.
Enjoy your 24 Forester. I’m sure you’ll probably own it for a very long time as well.
The 24 is definitely a lot better looking when it comes to cosmetics compared to the 25.
I kinda like the squared off look myself but you’re right I too like the more rounded look of the 23 models.
My Forester Touring is a 2019 (like the 23), but I have only 14K miles on it so I’m quite sure I’ll be driving it for many years to come.
My wife’s Outback is also a 19, (I bought it for her birthday in 21. I was going to buy her a new one but her Outback had only 5,600 and I saved almost $7K). Anyhow I’m 26 or 27 we’ll sell her Outback and replace it with a new Forester Touring Hybrid.
Enjoy your day and I’m sure you’ll be as satisfied with your Subie as I am with mine.
I would not get the 25 version. Firstly the lack of a raised roof rail makes it useless for me for my outdoor adventures. But also, you are better off buying the last model year of a generation than a first model year of a new generation. The former will typically be the most reliable while the latter is usually the least reliable until they fix all the problems in subsequent model years. Also a very good point is that you lose the physical climate control buttons and knobs in the new version which is bad. I have the 2021 forester which still has the CD player which is great. That got lost in the 2022 model.
@@Uncommonsensetoo The 25 Forester will be available with the RAV4 Hybrid system. You are right about buying the first year or two of a new model. The bugs need to get worked out.
I’ve never needed a roof rack, but a lot of people do.
The lack of physical buttons for heat and AC is actually ok. I didn’t think that I’d like it either but for the last 3 weeks I’ve had to drive a 24 OBW Wilderness as a loaner car because my Forester Touring had some warranty issues fixed. It’s easy once you get use to it.
My Forester is my First Subaru, but after owning it for 13 months, I’ll gladly go back to Toyota as soon as I can. I’ve had a LOT of problems with mine.
I've got a 2020 premium with 45,000+ trouble free miles on it through mixed personal/business use. Love it....except for the Eyesight System, and all of the automatic anti-collision and auto-braking, jerking the steering wheel and taking over trying to steer, and the annoying warning alarms it feeds (and yes, I've turned as many off as you can turn off...but it still SUCKS). Even the service guys at my dealer (biggest Subie dealer in the US), HATE Eyesight. Other than that...nice rugged car, great value. It's my third Subaru...they give great value for the money, and are great where it snows.
We LOVE the Eyesight on both our Outback and Forester Touring models.
I too own a 2022 Premium Forester and feel the same about those safety features. My biggest dislike is the steering wheel warning to keep both hands on the wheel! All the while, my hands ARE on where they should be. Overall, I’m highly satisfied with my first Subaru; it’s practically and price point where the biggest selling points.
@@PLefevre95 My 19 Forester Touring beeps and tells me to keep my eyes on the road, but only when I’m going into the Left sweeping turn.
It’s like dang it, I have to watch where I’m going. If I kept my eyes straight ahead, then it’d be too dangerous because I’m needing to see where I’m heading to the Left.
A few weeks ago I was driving up our mountain road to our house. I was in the “S” curves. All of the sudden my subie started applying the brakes and beeping. I didn’t see anything.
My wife was about 2 minutes ahead of me in her Outback. I had mentioned to her what my Forester had done. She asked me if I was in the “S” curve’s when it happened. I told her Yes.
When she was in that same area her Outback had done the exact same thing, but she saw a deer that was walking along side of the road.
So my Forester saw the deer, but I didn’t and my Forester was trying to slow me down so I wouldn’t hit it.
A few months ago my wife and I were heading into the city (25 miles from our house).
The speed limit had dropped from 60mph down to 45mph. I had been tapping my cruise control down to get to 45mph.
I had just tapped it down from 50 to 45. We were in the slow lane and there was some IDIOT who had been on my butt for about 1/2 a mile. All of the sudden he decided to pass me, which was fine.
Then he decided to take an exit, so he cut me off.
Before I had time to react, he almost clipped the front driver’s from fender.
My Forester’s brakes were slammed on and my Forester started moving to the Right to avoid being hit. My Subie had put me into the off ramp which is where that idiot was headed. By that time I began to react and I also hit my brakes harder.
The idiot in the pickup was right behind a semi truck that was having to slow down to about 5mph because the off-ramp is a 180 degree turn. The Dork in the Dodge pickup who had almost hit us then had to hit his brakes.
I swerved back into the slow lane and as I was passing the Idiot, I laid on my horn as I passed and gave him the Bird through my open sunroof.
Once we got passed him, my wife asked me if I had flipped him off. Of course I told her the truth and she said , No worries, I flipped him off on the way by.
So YES, I Love the Eyesight and automatic braking and the system that steers my car into an open space when driving under 50mph.
So this is twice in 2 months that the safety and accident avoidance system of my Subaru has “taken over” before I had time to react.
2 years ago when I bought my wife her Outback and added it to our insurance and dropped her 18 year old Camry, our insurance premium DROPPED by $600 per year.
Then last December (2022) when I sold my 13 year old RAV 4WD Limited and added my 19 Forester Touring, our insurance premiums DROPPED again by $600 per yr. That’s a Drop in premiums by $1,200 per year.
I asked our agent why our premiums Dropped. She told me that it’s because the Outback and the Forester achieved the IIHS Safety Plus award for Subaru’s Safety, Accident avoidance, and if we’re in an accident then we are less likely to receive any injuries and/or death in an accident, and furthermore Subaru’s are less likely to be stolen.
The only thing I HATE about my 19 Forester (with less than 14K miles) transmission is beginning to slip, so I know the shitty CVT will need to be replaced, very soon.
@@Doc1855 The safety features do work and are a life saver indeed! It’s quite and adjustment for somebody who went from driving a Hyundai Sonata without any of the safety features these Subaru have. It took six to seven months to fully adjust, but that “hand on wheel” warning gets me all the time🤣 I’m glad you and your wife made it safely.
@@PLefevre95 My 19 doesn’t care if both hands are on the wheel, it just beeps when I turn Left
I have a 2023 Forester Premium, and in most aspects I like it much better than my wife's 2020 Nissan Rogue. But in all honesty, I can see absolutely no difference in the quality of the two cars, even though the Nissan was assembled in the States, and the Subaru was assembled in Japan. For that matter, my old car, a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer LS had no assembly quality issues, and the 2002 Saturn Vue we used to own were both exemplary in regard to assembly quality, and were both assembled in the USA.
Nissan is owned by Renault
I take it you live in the US
@@gobear83 Yes I do. But the assembly quality of the cars I mentioned would be the same if I lived elsewhere, and so would my comments. American assembly quality has come a long way in the past 40 or so years, probably forced by the infinitely better assembly quality of imported competitors. But in my considered opinion, we HAVE caught up. Do you disagree?
I agree that diff is negligible let’s hope it shows long term.
Just leased one in silver w black exact options except all weather floor mats. 17 miles still. Seems so solid good sound dampening. Owned a few Audis hope this is as good in hilly snowy conditions being in CO. So far so good. I will break mine in right
I think you’re gonna really enjoy the Forester in CO snow! The only issue I’d imagine you might notice is the lack of power on high elevation passes.
I really like the stance of the Outback Wilderness.
💯
I have the 2014 2.5i Forester Premium with a 6 spd transmission and with 145K miles am thinking about my new SUV this year. The only offering in the new Forester Premium is the 2.5i with the CVT. It is woefully underpowered. The 2.0 turbo that used to be optional is no longer, just this engine now. I like the updates and changes but Subaru has not fixed the biggest problem in the (now over $30K) new Forester......the lack of power.
Your content is good. Keep up the good work 👍. I like the new redesigned one, but understand why it's not for everyone
Thanks! I really appreciate you watching! Obviously no vehicle is perfect but the Forester is a very good option for a lot of people. 🙂
After 20 years with Subaru, yes indeed the Premium is the best value! In June I traded my 16,000 mile 2020 White with Saddle Touring on my 2023 Crystal Green Silica Premium…and have not looked back!
Very nice! From one awesome Forester to the next. 🙂
i bought this years wilderness so I had physical button in case the screen ever goes out like so many people complain about. The lead times were outrageous on the supply side.
Thank you! God mine yesterday. 😊
Nice!!
The HVAC controls and knobs in the 2024 will make this a sought after used Forester IMO
I agree. 🥲
After the redesign, the BRZ is the last remaining Subaru with a good interior
I just bought a 2024 Forester Premium in Autumn Green. Looks and drives good. Replacing a 2017 Outback with 190k on it
That sounds like an awesome upgrade! Was the engine/CVT original in your Outback at that mileage?
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Yes. Highway miles mostly. Lived in rural South Dakota for most of the life of that car
Nice! Thanks for adding that context. 🙂
I would not get the 25 version. Firstly the lack of a raised roof rail makes it useless for me for my outdoor adventures. But also, you are better off buying the last model year of a generation than a first model year of a new generation. The former will typically be the most reliable while the latter is usually the least reliable until they fix all the problems in subsequent model years. Also a very good point is that you lose the physical climate control buttons and knobs in the new version which is bad. I have the 2021 forester which still has the CD player which is great. That got lost in the 2022 model.
I agree with your assessment that the Japanese manufactured vehicles are superior to the stateside variant.
After six months of ownership, I'm tempted to trade my 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness for a Forester Wilderness. While not as "sleek" as the CTW, the Forester seems an overall better car and BUTTONS!! BTW, I was considering a 4Runner. But, it was just too big and inefficient. I also own a 2nd Gen Taco and I like it a lot (6MT). Thanks for the complete review.
I hear you. I have about the same infotainment as you in my Outback Wilderness and I also prefer the Foresters layout. It’s a shame it will change next year. The new 4Runner was revealed today! But with how complex and expensive it’s likely to be I’m sure a Subaru and your 2nd gen is a fantastic combo. 😎
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Good, I hope the new ones cause the current ones to drop in price. I vastly prefer the 4L engine over the 2.4L 4-cyl.
They should have left the CD in it. Especially to be more accommodating for the older customer.
Just checked my local Subaru dealer, I like the Horizon Blue Pearl for the Forester, I do not beleive that color comes on the Outback, is that true?
You would have to check the Subaru website where you live. But I also don’t think I’ve seen that color on an Outback.
Buy the 24. The 25 looks like Hell.
Just bought a limited yesterday. Was wanting a premium but was only one on the lot. They just had a dealer trade for it. Had 456 miles on it and was offered slightly below the premium price. More tech and features than I needed. But awesome.
But the well equipped premium has a lot too.
I've only driven about 40 miles, love it and have a good bead on the bells and whistles.
Rides super solid and quiet. Easy to get in and out of. I'm 6'2" and 65 yo. Harder to get out of cars. Plus my insurance went down $300/ year. ❤I want to see how close the mileage is to the estimates. Anybody have stats on their 2023's?⛽️
Does the black interior also have the fake leather around the seats?
It probably does! But I don’t remember for certain off hand right now.
ilikeit
I bought the 24 limited it has a CD player
Nice! Are you in the U.S.? And is the CD player in the center console or infotainment system?
price
For 2025 forester, they got rid of some manual knobs. I like the knobs in my 2023. Everything else in 2025 is better. Just missing front camera which will help with Parallel parking.
I'm disappointed that the 25 doesn't have the little storage shelf just above the glovebox, like the Outback has. It makes so much sense and is a great place to throw your phone or whatever.
Hopefully they bring back a manual transmission!
That would be sweet!
I dislike the hidden USB ports. "Recessed" - that's what they're called. These are better than my 2018's Crosstrek which has the USB ports inside the under-the-arm elbow pad. I always have to lift up my arm after opening that center-console and look around for those USBs... since they're "A" types, you have to find the Top or Bottom side. Grrrr...
The opened-passenger doors make this wider than opened-front seat doors. These can get banged around inside a garage. grrrrr
What is the best subaru forester to get practically?
I think all of the Forester trim levels are worth their money, compared to the competition. But I specifically like the Forester Premium as you get a lot of the safety features while having a lower price tag due to things like the cloth seats. Best of luck! 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 thanks for the answer helps a lot 🙏🏻
You guys are all talking about cd players and knobs on the pre 25’s. No one is mentioning 10% stiffer chassis and 39% reduced cabin noise. Not to mention improved updated eyesight WIRELESS AppleCar play. And OBVIOUSLY like it or not the pre 25’s are going to start looking old as hell when 25,26,27 etc all look significantly different.
Those are great points! Thanks for sharing. Also the 2025s ditch the electronic TCV thermostat which has been an issue on some recent year 2.5 engines.
Can we get one without a sunroof?
The only one that doesn’t come with a sunroof is the Base model! And those are hard to find. 😬
Best reason to get this version?…it doesn’t have the sluggish tablet infotainment.
Absolutely!!
70k rookies numbers in this bracket :)
Lol, isn’t that the truth!
So the premium Forester gets a leather wrapped wheel, but the 2024 premium Crosstrek still has a plastic wheel? 🙁
Correct! But the last generation Crosstrek premium got the leather wheel. It’s likely just one of those cut backs to keep the 2024s MSRP the same as the 2023.
Does anyone still use CD's?
Lol, probably very few actually do. I’m just sentimental even though I haven’t used one in probably 5 years.
YES!!!
Can you use an iPod via a USB port?
I would imagine it would work plugging it into the USB, just like a modern phone or anything else. 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 I have a 2023 Honda Accord EX, and the iPod does not work via the USB. I can connect via BlueTooth since I have the iPod with BlueTooth.
Oh, I don’t know then. I’d maybe ask this question on a social media Subaru Forester forum. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Honda.
We just traded in our 2020 Forester Sport for the 2024 Sport. Got a great trade in price. Forester Sport is a great mid range lever vehicle. Considered the outback but that is ugly, ugly, ugly.
Is that Canadian
No this is a U.S. model
Why do the rpm's raise 2-300 at 70mph when selecting Cruise Control? Glitch in the software? Costs me 2-3 mpg.
That’s a good question. Yours isn’t one that has S/I mode and is selected in S is it?
Just standard Premium trim. I've driven O/B's which do this too.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208
we purchased the 2024 forester and it gets no where near the 26/33 MPG. If anybody knows of a class action litigation over this, let us know we wish to join.
My 2015 Outback gets nowhere near the stated mileage. I like the car though.
How much mpgs are you getting?
@@Gopinathk17 we once got 20.3 MPG but the average is about 18 to 19 MPG no where near the 26/33, That hatefull start stop feature is incorporated to fake the MPG
the start stop feature is a single feature showing we should have never purchased the car. We did not find out about this Horror feature until after we paid for the car. Funny how 1 single feature keeps people from wanting your product. on a scale from 1 thru 10 I would give the car a MINUS 100@@JenniferStClairRealtor
@@surplusdoctor what is that start stop thing? Can't we disable or turn off that feature?
You have a giant driveway. Probably more money than sense. Thanks for the vid though.
Driveway? Are you talking about the parking lot I filmed this in? That would be pretty cool if it was my driveway lol. Thanks for watching friend! 🙂
Just got our 2024 no options. Premium and cheap.
Nice!!
No heated steering wheel! Oh yes if you buy the top trim.
Some of us deal with
Highs of neg 20 or more.im out
My 2014 base model has 222000 miles on it! Still kindly zippy.
Nice! Original engine and transmission?
Whatever you do, avoid the hybrid version. We have that as the only choice over here in the Uk and Europe. It's a 'dog'. Rubbish acceleration, no spare tyre place (the back's full of batteries); shrunken fuel tank; barely little advantage in MPG; etc.
That’s interesting! I didn’t know the Forester hybrid was already out in other markets, thanks for sharing this! 🙂
After watching this video I started thinking and the new forester isn’t that just a rebadged accent
That’s a good point! 🧐🤷♂️😅
tacho hits 5500 rpm and the speedo went backwards LOL
Lol… 😳
love your work man all the best 4 2024@@AutomotiveAnonymous208
This is exactly the one I bought a month ago, a 23MY, even the same color. I really like the car. I only wish it had some more power and a true transmission. But yes, it has plenty of features and technology for the trim level. I got a CD player on my 2023! Very nice car overall. And I’m glad I bought this gen, the new 2025 redesign is ugly imo. Awesome review by the way!
I’m glad you found a nice 23 MY! Thanks for watching. 🙂
im picking up this exact one tomorrow! white with the grey interior premium. my first car was a mitsubishi endeavor 04 we've had for 20 years and i eeked out 300k miles from it and i would've bought another mitsubishi if they still made my model and weren't slipping into nissan. the search for a replacement has been a huge headache trying to get something that felt as comfy as my old car. rav-4 and cr-v just didn't cut it and i tried this forester on a whim and knew immediately it was right for me! super stoked!
That’s so exciting! I’m sure you’re just picking it up now, hope you enjoy it for the next 20 years! 🤩
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 goin in now actually! gonna do my best to make it last just as long!
You realy want a CD player in 2024...?!
Lol, I know I probably wouldn’t use it. I’m just nostalgic and sad to see them being phased out I guess.
Yes, I for one would prefer that. Subaru's web site says the CD player is available (& standard) only on the Limited model.
I hope Subaru has fixed the woeful bluetooth system on the Forester where your apple watch bluetooth interferes and needs to be disabled before you can play music from your iphone. This is a long standing problem which they seemingly don’t give a sh!+ about.
iphone pro max wont fit in there...
You aren't showing the Premoum model. You are showing the upper model. Thumbs down.....
Are you in Canada by chance? This is the US Premium…
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 No it's not US Premium model does not have an info button for the upper screen. I own one, and know. Upper screen is a total joke.
No, it’s not going be reliable: Head gasket issues, oil leaks issues, clogged cat converter, crappy CVT transmission
Not all Subaru’s have those issues
One dated looking Forester....do yourself a favour wait for the new model.
