2025 Subaru Forester Base - Good Value or Overpriced?

[@lisabloomfield6406]

You always bring the most detailed car reviews - thank you! 👍

[@jameswalsh6131]

Great review Kenny. For me this is a bit pricy as a base level but overall still well equipped but I do remember when you were lucky to get an AM radio on a base car lol. Hope that you are doing great!

[@703Speed]

Haha - likewise James. Any plans for the 4th?

[@jameswalsh6131]

@@703Speed Thanks Kenny. Just plan on laying low. How about yourself? Happy 4th to you!

That’s a amazing price, i bought on for 46,000 with a balance of 32 thousand dollars left when I crashed, my amazing insurance covered the balance and I got a new one that is also covered

A key start ignition is 2024? Even at $32K I would expect a push button start. All in all though...great review.

[@Kevin-qz4eq]

cynical me thinks they add a key start in the base model at a profit loss just to force an upsell on the customer.

18mpg combined is very less compared to the EPA right?

[@703Speed]

I was saying that my truck gets 18 mpg combined so the fuel economy numbers of this thing are really good compared to my car

Blue does help the bland styling a bit. A little spice. The front ( 2015 Explorer ) would look OK, but the grill is a tad odd - not symmetrical. Not a spec of chrome. In brighter colors, I am thinking you get by without the bling. Interior is also a little bland. They may end up discounting these right off the bat. Then the jump to Sport is $39K, from what I have seen. The tendency for those delivered to dealerships in Subarus seems to include things like mirrors with automatic dimming -- really, never had a need for that. Dimming exterior mirrors -- why? The Base Outback is less money and I am thinking better equipped or at the least, a bit less bland looking. Why they cannot afford to put chrome insider door handles on the base and mid-range models of their cars, is beyond me. It is not like it is a luxury item. The competition base, looks less base. It is when you add the stuff in options which also becomes the killer. It is easy to boost a price a grand or two on stuff not really wanted. Maybe order an Outback Premium, with just option 11 ? That would be a sweet deal. The Forester is not overpriced. If it included the basics people expect and a bit of excitement for $32K, then yea, the price would make more sense.

How do you turnoff the engine auto start/stop system?

[@allynwadleigh2210]

Couldn’t get in the Outback! Low head room! Forester has way more headroom!

[@EffectualPoet]

It's only 1 inch difference.

Is this a Subaru 2014 forester technology ?

[@703Speed]

lol

[@luarguadalupe5502]

Don't get me wrong, I so like Úr videos. In the case I luve d square design that a lot of people hate "more leg space even the color is pretty nice but ²much money for less technology in 2024.

[@lorimcquinn3966]

Overpriced. Take a Base with no accessories, tax it and apply the "fees" that dealers are coming up with and the vehicle is overpriced. Pull the CVT, install a 8 speed auto, remove the over the top safety gear and very distracting center TV. Now chop off 5K and add more reliability. I'd buy it.

[@lorenschwiderski]

Outback Base = better deal.

[@HJP-TV]

Overpriced. Anything over $32,000 is a ridiculous price for the mainstream car buyer. I'm thrilled, meanwhile, with the purchase of my new Chevy Trailblazer LT.

@@Gopinathk17 Luxury car brands il give you as they’re built with the small detail in mind. But Toyota rav4s sound like rattly shit boxes and Honda interior rattles too and if it doesn’t your fuel injectors or spark plugs go out at 1k miles like in the 2024s. Idiot
