Another very thorough review. I can tell you do your homework beforehand! Some other TH-cam reviewers can learn from your videos.Thanks!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the kind words! 😀
Great Review I love the Subaru Forster
best review hands down.
been in the market for one for a few weeks, pulled the trigger last week and just received my 2020 Sport 2 days ago. in love, absolutely.
Thank you! And congrats on your new Forester!
@@CarConfections thanks bro. keep up the great work!
Excellent review.
Thanks once again for the thorough review. 👍🏽 Overall, the Forester is a step above the run-of-the-mill in the same class. My biggest gripe, that glossy plastic where one will be touching constantly equals scratches & tons of finger prints, no matter how careful you try to be. Sigh, manufacturers need to drop the glossy ABS in high traffic areas (or altogether), a matte finish is much preferred, especially if you will be keeping the car for several years.
Great review 👍
I really liked it in this trim
Test drove the Forester. It feels planted on the road. Great review!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video! 👍🏻
Thanks, Bryant! 🙂
Great review.
Thanks!
Three years ago today! Planning to afford!
Howdy, great review as always! I love the Forester. My friend owned a 2015 one and like it. She has a Ford Escape now because they are company cars.😸😻😸
Love it!
So I own the rare 2018 Forester Black Edition... which is similar to this Sport, just without all the Orange! One thing I wish they did on the sport, was to give it a TURBO again, like the XT had! Make it a driving enthusiast SUV! Over all, it’s a beautiful car... I’m not sold on the “crab claw” rear lights yet. But I understand the Forester needed it’s rear end spruced up. Great review guys... thanks again!
I'll second the Turbo option
Not everyone wants to pay for premium gas but also want the capabilities of a good xmode and sporty design.
The Subaru Forester is ok! I love the orange!
If you like orange check out my skid plate install ! th-cam.com/video/ascez_kzOYk/w-d-xo.html
Ummmmmm...so the guitar solo during the intro had me wanting to move to Kentucky. The new Forester looks great overall, and I'm looking forward to the all new Legacy review on this channel and other vids that's coming. Subaru truly does the Forester right.
Ummm. Your a jackass
I just ordered the 2020 Sport model (lease) and taking delivery next week. The only thing I did not like during test drive is the Stop-Start feature. Confusing activity light, and annoying to have to press it every time I start car.
Nice presentation pls includes if there’s a hitch and wire connection for towing thks
Towing capacity is 1500
I wish they would add the seats from the outback onyx (outdoor for Canadians) their so much nicer
Almost cried during that intro music
👑
Can you only see roll in a touring trim? I can only seem to see pitch in my Sport.
What was this Forester's interior sound level?
Is there memory seat?
Onyx XT Outback is the perfect Subaru
It has been more than the perfect car.
However
Only turbo I have is my dad's ol 03 04 WRX. But heyyy. Comfort in my 2019 Forester Sport is niiiceee
Yeah except that horrible screen
Lol @ those wanting a 19+ XT. You do realize there have been many cvt issues with the 14-18 FXTs. It's more a matter of when, not if. 250hp on that cvt is not reliable, long term. Not to mention XT sales only accounted for about 5%, which is the main reason XTs got axed. And good luck once you're past 100k mi. Oh, btw it's more cost effective for Subaru to replace that cvt vs rebuilding it. So keep a minimum of $5-7k aside in case. It's hit or miss. Do your research people. Look at all the 14-18 FXTs for sale. There's a reason why. It's too bad honestly. On the other hand, the 04/05 and especially the 06-08 MT FXTs are missed dearly.
The past is the Past. Now Subura's REGULAR gas turbo engine that gets 30 mpg in the new Outback XT which makes a great option for those of us that would enjoy better performance than the Forester's base-only engine affords. This new regular gas turbo must be a decent engine option since it is the only engine for the Ascent and is offered as an upgrade option on the new 2020 Legacys and Outbacks.
I wouldn't mind only getting 30 mpg instead of the 33 mpg that the weaker base engine affords and for us, paying more to get performance equal to or greater than what we presently have would be worth the expenditure.
@@wind7sailor it is a turbo engine. It "should" be using premium gas. It could have more power if it was tuned for premium, in fact almost all subarus would benefit from premium fuel since they all have high compression ratio.
Like the Sport but could do without the orange pieces. Good job guys! :D
Yeah we kinda feel the same way!
It seems like orange is the new "sportier" color for many brands as of late The RAV4 Adventure model uses it in the interior as well. The (exterior) orange trim on the Forester looks better with the darker colors IMO. I will take the orange along with the black trim in exchange for all the glossy fake chrome looking plastic on other trim levels. I prefer the black wheels as well.
Has Subaru fixed the issue with oil consumption on their vehicles? I love the vehicles but the lawsuit over that issue definitely makes me second guess buying one
I don’t. Subaru is not my cup of tea
Obviously you have been living under a rock. Go back to sleep.
Car Confections, could u Pls compare forester vs rav-4 vs crv if it is possible? I will be grateful when u do.
Yes, we might be able to do that at some point
@@CarConfections yes please
The "sport" version with the 2.5L Boxer engine, with 182 hp/176 lb-ft, doing 0-60 in three days. Let's call it what it is: the Forester Teenager Edition.
(As always, great review!)
30...still got that teenager mentality when it comes to toys haha!
One of my only gripes with the Subaru is I still cannot believe that they do not have remote start built into the single key fob like the Nissan and a lot of the other Japanese competitors already have in place. I cannot believe that I would need to use my cell phone or a second key fob to remote start my 2020 vehicle, seems absolutely ridiculous that they cannot implement one key fob to remotely start the vehicle
Remote start is horrible for your car in the long run. You want to get your car to operating temperature as quickly as possible without overstressing it. Idling does not allow the engine get warm enough to help your oil lubricate well.
@@Hallowsaw true but when it's 2 degrees outside it is nice to get into a warm car
@@Hallowsaw there is not a shread of evidence exists that proove this myth. A car start is a car start. There is no difference how you start your car. With the key or remotely. And any vehicle needs to warm up when it cold.
@@vbp1 under normal circumstances your cars engine is taking the most damage when it is below operating temperature. Why? Because the oil is not warm enough to get to all the places it needs to be causing micro wear over time and eventually leading to engine failure. It is much better, and proven( www.popularmechanics.com/cars/car-technology/a19086/warming-up-your-car-in-the-cold-just-harms-engine/ )
I can give you mechanic references out of tech school manuals too if you like.
Remote start is usually used for cars to warm up and typically cars burn extra fuel while warming up and that strips oil from cylinder walls... meaning wear and tear.
It is better for your car in the long term to just start your car, wait 10-30 seconds and just drive at a gentle pace till it is fully warmed up. This will cause the car to heat up faster than just idling.
Got the 2019 sport same car and color
only in america
Now, don’t know which one should I get . This or the Outback 2020 Onyx . Help please, thanks!
We've got a comparison coming up so stay tuned!
Forester. Save your money, forester has less power which cvts tend to do worse with more power. Better gas mileage, cheaper maintenance, almost the same cargo volume.
I would totally buy one, if it had a regular automatic transmission and not a cvt :(
102k!
Yep! Hopefully we keep em coming!
is there an option for the turbo verson?
Not for the new gen, unfortunately
I hate when cars have two spaces for dual exhaust and just one exhaust pipe. It seems unfinished.
When the time comes to replace the muffler, would you rather pay for one or two?
D X I have a 20 year old Chevy Silverado and I just recently sold a Honda Accord I owned for 14 years. I’ve never had to replace a muffler. How often does that actually happen? And what the hell kind of cars are you driving?
TURBO , Right now Please . . . , FORESTER XT STI!!!!!!
Forester gets another turbo in 2028
7:18
which Car u guys like better between this one and rav4??
RAV 4 all the way. If you buy a forester the resale value will be really low because of the CVT transmission. No one wants an old CVT!
@@chuffedkiwi resale values have not dropped on subarus...
@@chuffedkiwi Rav 4 has issues with engine cracks for most of their models. Subaru retains its resale value much better than most cars. Do some research and don't make dumb statements.
so there is no keyless start option for the keyfob, just that app?
There is but it’s extra
2020 sport has HID c lights???
Yes, via face recognition, also rest view mirrors. You just need to memorize your face And adjust seat and mirror. It can memorize up to 5 drivers
@@dariodominkovic3911 sport doesn't have functional C lights lol
same 2019; nothings new?!
Call me old fashioned but I'm just not a fan of those god awful tail lights. I like the ones on the older models or the ones in the Crosstrek/Impreza.
Resale value of these will be low as no-one wants an old CVT tranmission. Pity though as apart from that they are nice cars.
the rear light is too ugly
Looks like crab claws
You really should mention that the Forester is on the top ten most expensive cars to maintain list as revealed by "Your Mechanic" and "Autoguide" . The numbers are explained by their presentations. This car has a CVT transmission. The CVT is unacceptable due to CVT cost of Faiiure. The lacking of any other type of Transmission offered make this vehicle unacceptable. God forbid , the Fiat 500 has a better overall maintainece cost.The 500 breaks down more but is way less to fix.
Yeah subaru know that most people are fooled by marketing and the technical problems with the CVT are not on peoples radar. Such a shame they went with CVT.
bird shit at 12:43
The under powered motor & CVT is a deal breaker
Forester 'sport'..... ha. ha! haha! HA! AAAAHHHHAAAAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! ooooh that was good, thanks for that..
Msrpprice
Can't wait for my windshield to Crack for no reason and cost over $600 From Subaru because it has to be "Special Glass" And then the $400+ Dollars for Subaru to Calibrate the sensor cameras that See through the glass ......
What a Raft of Shit ....!!!
What a dumb ass comment. How much research have you done on this? Get your windshield replaced at Speedy Auto Glass. They install the original Subaru windshield and include the Eye Sight calibration. They are trained to calibrate the system. Now go back to asking dumb questions, Mr. Raft of Shit. Moron.
@@dx3200 Eat It You Douche Canoe ...! If you're Eyesight System goes down after the glass repair NOT done by Subaru WITH Subaru Glass, it will void the warranty and you're on your own ...
As long as people know that ..... You can go anywhere you want ....
So settle the F*** Down !!!
USA spec so poor!! You are being ripped off
My wife has a 2020 forester very boring car
and you did some research, test drove the car before buying it? Perhaps your wife is pretty boring too.
Gutless cvt crap, unreliable money pit, orange stripes are not sport.
I like Subaru but most of their new vehicles are turds on the road.
Every brand out there makes a better, more powerful, safer suv than this boring Subie
