2022 Subaru Forester Limited Review - The PERFECT Sized SUV!

[@theschof96]

My parents recently got one of these, and we live in eastern Ontario where it snows like crazy in the winter. In February we got a major snow dump where we got like two feet of snow, and we needed groceries... I took this to the supermarket, and after putting it into X Mode Deep Snow, it could actually get through a solid foot and a half of snow in the entrance to the parking lot. My father, a boomer, was stunned that a modern 4x4 system could get through that much snow.

We got one of these out of pure luck back in May. We were desperately car shopping after an accident and everyone was out of stock on new inventory. We went to Subaru and got the only Forester in stock; it’s the best car we’ve ever owned. The way it handles and the smooth ride make it great for everyday driving.

You’re saying of “when you get it once, you stick with it.” Is so true.

[@arnoldcorbita9342]

I was never a fan of subaru until I drive and own a forester just this year.I am really surprised how it performed especially in winter and driving 10 to 15 hours straight.i love it..Because of that I consider my 2022 forester like a Swiss knife..simple but can Do it all.

[@kippywylie]

15 hours long drive? I too need a comfortable vehicle for long 10 hour days

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

My older brother used to own Nissan SUVs till about 5 years ago, then he got a Forester, now he only buys Subarus!

[@SageLakshmi]

the nissan cvts from 5 years ago were crapping out way too soon

[@bwofficial1776]

Having driven a couple of these, they're very comfortable and full of features. Power is adequate and the CVT fakes gears so it doesn't drone. Kind of defeats the purpose of a CVT but it's unobtrusive with the full-time AWD. Visibility is great and Eyesight works very well. Tons of room. The only complaints I have are that the materials are a little cheap and hard and it has a lot of road and wind noise. The Outback feels more premium and is quieter. The Outback is lower, longer, and heavier so it rides nicer but is a little slower with the same non-turbo engine as the Forester. It's true that Subaru people won't drive anything else. A friend traded a 2nd gen Forester for a '20. My grandfather drives a '20 Forester and he says it's tied with a Studebaker for the best car he's ever owned. The first car I bought myself is a '22 Outback. I took it up to Vermont and it blended in with all the Subarus everywhere. It handled muddy dirt roads just fine while being very easy to drive on the highway with Eyesight.

I wanted a Subaru with a manual and bought a crosstrek. You can have the CVT, frankly the repair cost out of warranty is too high. I'm a professional truck driver and I also just dont like driving aids. The crosstrek is also a very good value, atleast I think so.

[@martinharrison7536]

Doesn’t drone ? You must blast the stereo lol. Of course it drones !

[@deannessin]

I just got a 2022 Forester Touring. Absolutely love it! I’ve been driving Mercedes’ suvs for over 10yrs and have to say, I actually like my new Forester even better. It’s gorgeous. It rides incredibly smooth. Rear heated seats are fav with my son and heated steering wheel are a fav of mine. Really beautiful on the inside. The only thing I don’t like is the cup holders. They are too far back. Feels awkward. But otherwise perfect. Massive room in rear passenger area. Great leg space up front. And lots of cargo space. Am now a Subaru convert!

[@detroitj7475]

In July I purchased the 2022 Subaru Forrester in the Cascade green it is also a limited. I enjoy the car very much it handles great. to me the seats are very comfortable and I have plenty of head and leg room in the front and in the backseat I love the cargo space I have two Golden retrievers that I take with me at times in the cargo area lots of room with the seats down. The engine with the CVT transmission I feel gives me plenty of power on the highway and in the city and on top of that I am experiencing about 33 miles per gallon on the highway and about 28 in the city and that’s on regular gasoline. I do have a recommend this vehicle I live in Tennessee where we get some mixed weather using heavy rain storms very little snow but still a very all around comfortable vehicle

[@nyarhuyt9081]

did you get 28mpg city right off the bat? got it last week and im looking at 20mpg.. :( a lot of ppl is telling me wait until the break-in period. i know im playing around with the car right now (adaptive n not really driving as efficient) but def hoping ill get more than 20mpg lol

[@detroitj7475]

I took a road trip from Memphis TN to Detroit and got 31 hwy and 25 city Within the first 2 weeks

[@robertknight4672]

My 2023 base Forester is also Cascade green.

[@detroitj7475]

Let me know how you like the new Subaru

Really enjoyed this review and am glad I found your channel. New subscriber! 🎉

Actually Subaru debuted the CVT in the Justy in 1984.

[@therealhotdog]

one little quark that i found was in the first week i had it i loaded boxes in the back that bumped the roof light turning it on, i didn't notice it was day time and killed the battery before i went to drive it again

[@tjveith]

Lol I do this all the time, so frustrating!

[@Gadsdan]

I was able to remove the cup holder divider in a 2022.

[@neronfrancis6508]

How did you do that?

[@agak61]

What a great video ! Finally someone positive

[@SageLakshmi]

people should be made more aware of subarus recent cracking windshield problem. They say its only on certain models arlund 2016 and 17, but after reading peoples posts on forums, it sounds like subaru is still having this issue and on all their vehicles with the eyesight. If youre reading this and considering a new subaru like myself, pls educate yourself on their cracking windshield issue and find out if you are covered thru warranty or insurance.

[@kippywylie]

My 2015 Outback has this cracking windshield issue.... It can crack with no impact on simply a hot day. Currently it has a small 10 inch crack way over in the corner of the passenger side, which seems to have releaved the stresses because this has been stable for 3 years

subaru kept the CVTs out of the Tribeca lineup up til 2014!

The leather interior still only comes in 1990 death black. It’s too bad that you can’t get a Forester Limited in Ivory leather like in the Outback. Yeah the Subaru in the 70s still had the Fugly grey interior 🤮

[@ofcbob6391]

If you get the blue, it can come with a very nice 2 tone light gray/dark grey. Lots of the light gray on the doors and the dash too.
