Basic car info that a car salesperson never dispenses. Like the seat height differences. Very well done and informative video.
The Outback is technically a wagon. The Forester is a SUV. We chose the premium Forester. It is taller and the seat does not sit low as it does in the Outback. Entry and exit the vehicle is easier for me, because the seat sits taller. I have arthritis in my knees so bad, that the low seating is nearly impossible. We live our Forester. We also own an Impreza 5 door, and we have a empreza sedan on order.
This was a selling point for me too. As I'm getting older, climbing in and out of my Avalon/Camry hasn't been what it used to be. I looked at the RAV but it just didn't feel as roomy for my height of 6'3. I really like the feel of the Forester and how I can slide right in and out and it just fits me better, height-wise. My Forester Touring is on order.
I own a 2018 outback. If I remove the passenger headrest I can lower the front seat giving me storage from the rear all the way up to the dashboard. That has been very helpful for me.
Bought a new 2012 Outback and its the best car I've ever owned. Hopefully a hybrid Outback will be coming out and if it does I'd buy it.
Thanks, Alex. We bought a Forrester Sport, and love it. It is such a refined vehicle and built rock solid. Cheers, Christos from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺 👍
Both great cars. On my second Outback. Just bought my 2022 Wilderness from you guys a few weeks ago. Love it!
Congrats on getting one! Those have been tough to find.
I always wondered what the difference was! Great job!
Upgrading from an 06 Forester XT to a 2018 Outback. Never had a vehicle that wasnt old with around 200k miles. When I test drove the subaru I was just shocked at the amount of features. Your videos are the only way I can actually understand them in a short time so ty.
You have done a great job with this presentation. I love my 2021 Forester Touring. My previous car was the Outback.
Thanks Arlene! 😊 They’re both great cars
Why did you change?
@@sarahsundstrom1425 I received better deal with Forester Touring (with all bells and whistles) than with the Outback Limited (less bells and whistles). I love them both. They're great driving cars, especially when driving in winter weather.
Thanks so much for a great comparison video!
So thankful for this video and your other videos! I ended up purchasing a 2022 Outback Premium. Been driving an 09 Forester and wanted ti change it up a bit. Thanks for the videos!
you're welcome! 😊
We have a 2017 outback, our daughter has a 2020 Forester. We like the size of the Outback, but if we were to consider new, the forester controls (more analog, less touch screen) would give the edge to the Forester. We particularly like the center dash board hump of the Forester, looking to the floor for time, temp etc takes your eyes off the road. Same is true for almost all controls and readouts being on the OB touchscreen. Distracted driving is Dangerous driving.
I haven't always been a fan of the giant touch screen display in the Outback. But only more recently liked it as I've become more familiar with the controls. Starting out I hated not having analog controls for the heating and air
I hate touchscreen in vehicles. It’s illegal to use a phone while driving, yet they build a tv size one into the dash…
And you so much for the side view seat comparison. I am struggling to choose between the two. Seat position higher is very important to me.
We moved from a 2017 Forester to a 2022 Outback. Love it. Rides more like a car/station wagon. Quieter & smooths bumpy roads. A million adjustments on the Outback. I like the driver seat bottom extension, the extra cargo length with the seat up, and the feeling of a bigger car. I miss the easy seat heater buttons, the plastic rear wheel covers (not just fuzzy cloth), and the panoramic roof. Both are good.
@Maggie Honestly, the I think Outback is actually more comfortable for tall people than the Forester is. It's a bigger vehicle than the Forester overall and I personally find that lower seating position is actually more comfortable for tall people with long legs. I'm 6'5" and I have no issues with fitting in an Outback. They have tons of room inside. Sit in both a Forester and an Outback if you can though.
Also, for what it's worth, we have a 2013 Outback and a 2016 Forester. The Outback is way more comfortable than the Forester is. Of course that may be different with the newer models, but the Outback has always been a slightly nicer vehicle overall than the Forester.
@Maggie I’m 6’2 and 180 lbs and I fit perfectly in an Audi RS3 which is a compact sedan, the low seating position allows for more headroom and feels more comfortable to me, higher seating makes me feel like i’m driving a Cruise ship, makes the ride very floaty.
Good review; I have a 2015 Forester. Once factor: you do not have to bow your head down to get into the Forester. You do have do put your head down for entry to the Outback. Forester is perfect size and setup for me.
I had a three way, panoramic moon roof on my 06 outback. My understanding is that when they introduced the swinging roof rails, people kept dropping them on the moon roofs and breaking them. So they removed the bigger roof from the outbacks.
I love what they did with the Outback’s taillights. Hopefully they do something like that for the next generation Forester
I like the physical knobs and dash display on the Forester better.
Great video able to narrow down to Forester
Thank you for this helpful video
You're welcome! Thanks for checking it out
Excellent! Thank you.
useful video thx bro!
No problem!
Hey Alex, I appreciate the info you provide about the brand. Actually, I was swayed by some of your videos over the Outback 2021 and got one for myself. I wonder If you have done any videos on accesories like the cargo and back seat cover. Thank you
I actually haven’t made a dedicated video yet on accessories but plan to do that soon! Thanks for the idea. Appreciate you watching!
Hi Alex,
Last November (2021) we needed to replace my wife’s 18 year old Camry, so we found a 19 Outback with only 5,600 miles.
We like our Outback so much that we decided to replace our (my) Rav this year.
I found a 19 Forester Touring (near Seattle. WA) with only 4,700 miles. I bought it today.
I'm kinda bummed the Forester doesn't have the same options. Forester is really better suited for me, but I'd like the turbo, among other things. It seems like more of those features should be available across the platforms, at least for some trims.
I bought the touring and trust me it has everything you need except the turbo engine would be nice😂
Thanks Alex 😊
Love you vids Alex. Do you plan on doing a comparison of the Forester and Outback Wilderness trims?
Yes, just waiting to have both on the lot to do that.
I would select the Forester if you do most of your driving in the urban/city due to visibility mainly. Outback if you are driving mostly on long distance trips.
Visibility is superb in both. I’ve owned a both a forester and outback.
Would you please create a video showing us how to set up the universal garage door opener. Thanks.
I enjoyed this video. I'm not ready to buy a car just yet, but I've been seriously considering both the Outback and the Forester for quite some time, among other makes and models. I've enjoyed learning about Subaru's Eyesight feature and more of its advanced safety systems. If I recall correctly, some of the newer Outbacks had speed zone/traffic sign recognition. Could you post a video of that sometime?
Yes, I'll work on making an eyesight video soon!
Just looking at the 2023 versions here in Melbourne Australia. Great review, the only one that really showed the seating position difference. Leaning towards the outback for the XT motor, and a bit of differential to what we currently have. The 8" screen is too small these days, though the new 2024 forester has gone to the 11" i think, but who knows when it will actually land in Aus. Looking at upgrading wife's 2012 SH Forester. BTW I also currently drive a Subaru, MY16 VA sti.
Good comparison
Hey Alex, great info as usual !
A question for you ( when you have the opportunity ) -
I'm looking into a 2019 or 2020 but have minor mobility issues, so wondering which of these models
would allow easier driver access !!
Thanks Brian! I'd say the Outback is easier to get in and out of. Although it has the same ground clearance as the Forester, the seats sit slightly lower making it easier to get in and out.
I have Subaru outback love it!! 😊❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the comparison, Alex. Can you speak to the options for cross rails for the Forester? My Subaru website in Canada offers two cross rail options. One is the Areo which is shorter in length and runs between the roof rails. The Thule Universal extends beyond the roof rails and footprint of the roof a bit for added width. Are there limitations to the Areo cross rails? Can a 37” wide canoe mount on them?
You covered a lot of information in just about 8 min. I think the Forester may be better suited for older drivers, (like me). I would love to take a new Forester for a spin, but they are not to be found at this time.
Best advice I have for that is to ask a retailer near you if they have a service loaner or used option that you can drive. Most service loaners are going to be 2021. Even if they only have a used 2020 model, this will look and drive the same as the 2021 model
Am so impressed with Subaru's cladding and styling. From the roof racks you can tell if it's a Subaru. 🥰🤗 Ever since I laid eyes on a two-tone Outback in 2003 on a long road trip to Alaska, Canada/US Rockies, I've been crazy about the brand. Over the yrs it has evolved into an attractive sporty, rugged-recreational-adventure- all-purpose vehicle loved by outdoorsies, with its signature AWD, and mind you, earning high, if not the highest, IIHS ratings. Love, Iove Subaru.
Yes, Subaru has come a long way with styling! Can’t say I’ve always loved the look, but in recent years they have really stepped it up.
Thanks for your videos. Because forester has a higher seat as u explain, the back passenger has and can enjoy more room for his or her feet.
Nice video - now if my dealer could get some inventory...
I like the taller seating of the Forester, but I like ventilated seats and more power of the Outback. I probably will have to wait for the 2023 models. I currently have a 2014 Ram 1500 which I will keep, but I need something smaller and more fuel-efficient for my work rides. I considered the Crosstrek, but from what I understand it's more of a hatchback and sits lower.
I don't know why I'm watching this video when I can't afford either of them. Need to go back 20 years and get those models.
Ok I'm planning on getting the outback wilderness but I have a 16 crosstrek that I've built out kinda like mad max do you think it's possible to put a outback motor and Trans in a crosstrek granted I know I'd have to change alot of our things in the car but do you think it would physically fit
When I was test driving these two I felt like there was nothing underneath my feet in the Outback. All I could think of was yabba dabba do like driving the Flintstones car. Then I drove the Forester Sport which felt more substantial. I like it so far. I had a twenty year history with Honda but the CRV looked the same so I switched to Subaru. It is a snow beast.
Happy to hear you're enjoying it! It's funny because I usually have people tell me the Forester has more road noise than the Outback.
I need to drive a forester. Cuzz I love the crap out of my Outback
@@alexpmo my 2018 Forester is the noisiest car I've ever owned.
I have a 2019 Forrester and I really like it, it’s the perfect car for me. Was looking to upgrade I looked at the Outback but it’s big touchscreen and difficulty to do simple functions was a real turn off and one of the deciding factors for me. I just ordered a new 2022 Forrester.
One thing I'm not a fan of on the OB is the touch screen climate controls. I've gotten used to it but it's WAY easier to adjust climate on the Forester.
I am like you. I like manual knobs instead of the touch screens.
Excellence comparison , Thanks, I went with the OUTBACK WILDERNESS
Great choice!
I am moving from a 2020 Forester Sport to an Outback Wilderness. Reasons were: Don't like what Subaru did to the Forester Wilderness edition for starters, but also, after 2 years of running with the 2020, I feel that I often have to lower the back seat to get that 3-4 inch that's always seem to be missing when I load big boxes. Also, the taler windshield is kinda hard on the eyes when the day is really bright/sunny and you always have to lower the sunscreen so in the end, not really useful.
As was mentioned, the Outback sits more like a car, the Forester sits more chair-like like an SUV (I suppose, it was our first one) or dare I write it, minivan. I find the back seats in the Forester far more roomy and comfortable than any other Subaru, even the larger, far more expensive models.
When we bought our 2015 Forester Touring, my wife probably wanted a CR-V more, but the Forester has more room for the driver, in my opinion, which is important for a taller and shall we say "big boned" person like me.
@Maggie We did look at the Outback. I prefer the seating position in the Forester as it's more chair like as opposed to car like. Last year, when the Forester was in having the Nav replaced (because the Blutooth died and that requires the whole Nav system to be replaced...thank goodness for the extended warranty we bought), I sat in every current Subaru model from Crosstrek to Ascent. I was quite surprised that the only one I was really comfortable in both front and back seats was the Forester.
I haven't tried to load an Outback, but the Forester holds a lot, while being pretty small. For big loads, we still have our 2004 Odyssey, which is cavernous.
My biggest issue with the Forester is the front passenger seat not being a powered fully adjustable... why is that?
Thanks,
Forester met our needs .👍😎😊
I have 2017 Forester & love it. Being a senior, one can comfortably get in & out of the car. However it had 2 or 3 recalls & problem with GPS audio so radio has to be replaced. Thinking of trading it in with tToyotaRav4. What do you think? I have 15,500 miles on it.
Hey Milcah, this ultimately comes down to whatever you feel is the best decision for yourself. I'll give you a few points to think about though. First of all, 15,500 miles is low for a 2017 so you're likely going to be in a good spot from an equity position. Trading your car in now should give you a higher than usual offer. Just like you get the benefit from an inflated market from the trade in value, you do have the disadvantage of a higher than usual selling price on the purchase side (whether you trade into a new subaru or a toyota, most are being sold at MSRP or above with the lack of inventory). The last point I'll bring up is that every car manufacturer is going to have recalls from time-to-time and with the newer tech in modern cars there are more things to go wrong. Although I'm partial to Subaru, Toyota makes a great car as well. let me know if you have anymore questions and I'd be happy to help!
my best forester
what is the length between the head to the B pillar of the outback? I want to see if it fits in my car port.
Perhaps I missed it although did you provide a weight for both, in premium trim level?
Thanks.
Très bon vidéo qui explique bien les différences entre les 2 véhicules. Merci beaucoup
Thank you for watching! Really appreciate it.
2015 Outback, 126,000 miles 29mpg over vehicle life (pump measurement, not computer reading). Also it holds on to the Quaker State oil much better than various other brands I have used in DIY oil changes every 5,000 miles(1qt. 3,000 miles)
The forester has 2.0l turbo option as well
Hi Alex. This is not a video related question but I’ll ask anyways. Does your company sell those all weather liners and back seat protectors and ship them to a US address?
The Forester that I got here in Middle East does not come with those things. Decided to buy a Forester after watching several TH-cam videos about it including yours.
Thanks
Yes, we sure do!
Since Outback is longer, it may be more difficult to open the trunk in a garage.
I love Vermont
Wondering which of the 2 has more leg room in the back seat. I am the shortest in my family at 5’8.
I heard a key difference between Forester and Outback was the suspension. Forester is more for city driving. Outback has superior suspension for rougher roads or occasional off road. Any truth to this?
Whats the difference ? In the UK the Outback has a 2.5 engine and its not a hybrid either so that rules out the Forester. I had the last shape Outback it was fantastic, comfy, sounded great and plenty enough power if you are a good driver and know how to use CVTs properly. Id have the new model if I had to get a new car. Currently run a 65 plate Impreza hatchback, a rare sight on UK roads. Excellent car.
Can you get the outback turbo in "Manual" transmission?.....🏹🤠👍
Nice video! When will Subaru get a 3L 6 cylinder engine?
Subaru had the 3.6 6 cylinder in the last generation Outback/Legacy. Probably won't see this reintroduced with the push for better fuel efficiency.
What do you think about the 3.6r motor
I would like to see you do an "Outback vs Accent: What are the differences?" video.
I can do that!
Forester: Impreza chassis
Outback: Legacy chassis
I like the forester.
We love our Outback but it is sluggish with only 182 hp. What’s worse is that it only gets 22 mpg on the freeway with the cruise set at 73-75 mph.
I’m glad we didn’t buy the XT, as we would probably only get 18-20 mpg on the freeway.
Our 2011 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4X4 with the 4.0 liter engine and 5spd A/T gets 24mpg on the freeway with the cruise set at 75mph.
is there a difference in comfort ?
I have a 2021 Jeep Rubicon and a 2022 Subaru Outback Wilderness… I am selling the Rubicon.
I LOVE my Subaru Outback Wilderness that much!💪🏼😁
I'm seeing more and more Jeep owner's switching to the Wilderness!
Out of all the Subaru related info-channels, this one beats them all, hands down!! I have for about 2-years now, been watching Subaru content channels. The specific video I'm referring to, is the one I just watched before this one. It was the video explaining why Subaru is so safe! I've never even once, heard such a detailed explanation about Subaru safety, as I heard in this one. I am now armed with the information I've been seeking for so long about Subaru safety, such to the point, that I can adequately explain to anyone who were to ask me, why I bought an ugly Subaru!! Because boy, to me, they're ugly pastors looking cars. But I'll take an ugly car that is inherently so safe any day of the week, over a more handsome, or cooler looking car.
Thank you! I really appreciate that and glad you found this helpful!
Hey Alex. I just wanted to share another Subaru nugget. I saw an article about Subaru safety about a year ago. The article however didn't really explain the technology behind Subaru safety. But what was mentioned, was that a fire rescue unit responded to an accident wherein a Subaru was involved. The article said that the fire rescue guys attempted to use the infamous "jaws-of-life", to cut the metal around the trapped person in the Subaru, and were unsuccessful! Point being, fire rescue said they had never encountered a motor vehical that withstood the jaws of life! The article didn't say how they freed the trapped person, but something about the metal/steel of the Subaru withstood them. I thought about that, when I heard you mention the Subaru crumble -zones! And yes, though the car was badly damaged, the trapped persons life was spared.I'll take a Suub any day over a Ferrari!!
Outback is very comfortable on long trips.
Alex, while I don't need to use a wheel chair; I am a disabled veteran & currently drive a 2016 Forester. My wife has a 2016 Legacy. I find that it is much easier to get in & out of my Forester vs. her Legacy due to the ground clearance the Forester has. I just ordered a '22 Outback Limited last week, and I am slightly concerned about the lower seat cushion position on the Outback. You mentioned this in your comparison, but can the seat in the Outback be set at least as high as the Forester in the Foresters lowest position? My Limited will not have a sunroof like my Forester does; hopefully that will help. I currently have the drivers seat in the Forester in its lowest position because I am 5'11" tall. I went with the Limited just for that purpose because of the driver's seat memory. I hope that the Outback's drivers seat can at least be adjusted up with the power seat controls to match the Foresters seat height. I hope you can understand my question....lol...thanks in advance!
Yep, I think I understand what you're asking. The Outback seat in it's highest position should be as high as the Forester in it's lowest position. It might even be higher.
@@alexpmo well….what I meant to ask was…..can the Outback seat be raised to at least as high as the Forester’s seat in the Forester’s lowest position? I just need them to be about equal. I don’t need the outback’s seat to go any higher than that. Thanks so much for answering my lengthy question and for helping!
The outback’s seat doesn’t need to go any higher comparatively than the lowest position in the Forester.
I had an 09 forester but have had two outback’s since. I just prefer the wagon look and the plusher, slightly more upscale interior. Outback can be more difficult to park due to its length but it’s not bad.
I have 4 dogs that eventually own the car haha I'm leaning Forestor..
got the forester cause wifey wants the big sunroof and the huge glass area makes the cabin feel very airy, plus power liftgate all for under $30k. I personally like the rav4 but it is true it does feel like you're sitting in a cocoon.
That's one of the biggest differences I tell people about when comparing the outback to the forester. The windows in the forester are so much bigger!
Getting ready to move over to Subaru from Toyota and was wondering how the Forester Touring will fare in local mountains here in Southern California. It stands to reason the Forester (obviously) doesn't have the get up and go that the turbo vehicles will have but that seems strange considering that Subaru SUVs are seen as very outdoorsy vehicles. Interesting that the more station wagon-like Subaru gets more power through its turbo option than the Forester which is more SUV-like. Can anyone comment on mountain driving in the Forester? Is it really that much of a struggle to "get up the hill." So to speak. Or will it be just fine. Just not what some drivers would want when powering it up the mountain.
Great videos, by the way.
You failed to mention that only the Forester has a CD player conveniently located right below the touchscreen. A CD player for the Outback, however, is optional and awkwardly placed inside the center console.
Good point! Thanks Ron
@@alexpmo as you know, it's probably because of that vertically oriented 11.6" touchscreen on the Outback. I've disregarded the Mazda and Hyundai offerings at similar pricepoints and narrowed my choices to the Forester and Crosstrek ... all because of that CD player.
@@ronavena Seems like a simple thing most manufactures could still incorporate, but I'm also sure they see most people moving to bluetooth and apple carplay with their phones. Good to see Subaru still offering it at least!
@@alexpmo so true, Alex. It's great Subaru makes choices like this available, especially for ua old CD die-hards with a large disc collection. It'd be a hassle for me to throw my entire song collection on my smartphone or a USB thumb drive.
Love both of these cars, but we ended up with the Forester instead. Just couldn't pass up on the larger sunroof haha
Yeah, the bigger sunroof is really nice!
It really brings the outside in. I agree.
So the Forester does not have the roof rack with the cross bars?
Correct. You have to get the aero crossbars as an added accessory for the Forester.
Why doesn't the Forester come with cross bars?
I just did a test drive 2021 Subaru Outback Touring 4D for $38,230 with 26,000 miles with2.5 eng and like it a lot should I be cocerned about milage?
Hey George! Sounds like the previous owner drove a lot, but I wouldn't be concerned with that as long as the regular maintenance has been documented (full synthetic oil every 6k miles)
I drove it and loved it and thank Kara at Subaru Hagerstown MD for the great experience I will go back. and thanks for comment.
I found my 2015 Outback Limited to be more sedate and my Sister inlaws 2014 Forester to be more Plucky. That said, my Outback wins on comfort and road manners. Her Forester feels much bouncier and truck like. Same with her previous 2004 Forester. Forester folks always comment on how quiet and posh feeling my Outback is. My 2020 XT Touring is just luxurious. I would never consider a Forester. I just don't find them comfortable.
Hello Alex! Is it the disc player can play mp3 or CD only? I mean would you please introduce the music system of Forester and outback ! thank you!
The CD player only plays CDs from what I'm aware of. The Forester is the only one standard with the CD player and you can get it installed as an option on the Outback. If you want to listen to music from an MP3 player, ipod, or phone, this can be done with bluetooth. You can also connect your phone to the USB cable to listen to music from Apple carplay or Andoid auto. I made a video recently talking about the last option with the USB connection: th-cam.com/video/JeVfiMYKe7Y/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you still have questions and I can make another video discussing this in more detail
My 2020 Forester can play mp3 songs on CD.
@@tzeshanchen8563 Thank you for sharing this great info!
I continue to keep my 2018 forester xt until Subaru comes out with another forester xt. Very big difference in performance
I'd like to see the XT brought back also. It's nice having that extra torque
Foster Cross trek
Outback is much quieter and smoother, its a Lexus and 4-Runner combined. Forester more nimble handles much better, better visibility and smaller overall. If offroading only, get the Forester Wilderness handles much better perform better.
Will the Forester have a hybrid option in 2025? Fingers crossed.❤️
It would be nice if you wouldn't keep moving back and forth when filming outside.
A Turbo engine is a must, so Outback way to go.
Yeah, it’s a bummer they didn’t add it back in the forester wilderness 😕
A turbo on a boxer engine is asking for problems. These engines are their weakest point.
Speak for yourself. Turbos are not for everyone. I have a 17 Outback ( non turbo) and it is just fine.
I wish the Forester was as long, wide and taller than the Outback. Why is there always a compromise? 😔🤦♂️
Yes, as of right now the only car that achieves that is the Ascent.
I like Outbacks more. I don't mean to stereotype but to me Foresters seem like old lady vehicles.
My outback does better mileage than what you state ,the computer says for the life of the car so far it has done 40 miles to the gallon
I mentioned the average. MPG all depends on how you drive. I tend to have a heavy foot lol. 40 MPG is amazing!
Forester is a pure Japanese car made in Japan and Outback is an American Japanese car made in Indiana.
And your point is….?
@@ericripley9739 That’s the main difference.
@@jackiewang7725 Ok, thought you implying something. I have had 2 Foresters and now an Outback. Can see no difference in quality.
Forester baby all the way
We have a 2014 forester diesel manual gearbox here in the U.K. but Subaru have dropped that engine and gearbox now so probably won’t be buying another Subaru also that 1500lb towing capacity is next to useless !
Outback Wilderness wins for me the Forrester looks like it should be at a lalapalooza encampment full of chunky lesbians
