2025 Subaru Forester Test Drive Review: Better And... Blander?!

[@glacierescape7888]

I’ve listened to many Forester reviews. I would have to say yours really has some things I haven’t heard in other reviews. In a good way. Thanks for talking to me. Not yelling the specs and scripted info. The torque and engine explanation and the “shifting” was nice. The noise level is supposed to be better so it was nice to hear about that. Foresters in Alaska are renowned for snow and ice and we need good heaters. It’s time for me to buy a new car. I drive a 2008 Element. I have a hold notice on a touring that should arrive this week. I really want it to feel nicer than the utilitarian Element or Suburu. It sounds like Suburu will have reached a new buyer who wanted a little more interior upgrade. Thanks for your review.

I’ve taken possession of my 2025 Sport model and after 2 weeks of ownership I must admit it is a vary nice and comfortable Vehicle. Is it perfect? No it is not. One thing that we find is that the Sunroof sunshade when fully opened can not be reached by either of us when driving. It is too far back for our arms. To help with the heat that comes in on those sunny days we have tinted the sunroof with ceramic tint that should help as we love the brightness that the Panaramic sunroof offers. The other thing is it’s looks, I’ve always thought “Conservative “ but Plain is another word to use. It is not a car you turn to look back at as you walk away like our BRZ. It is so comfortable and roomy with ease of entry that is why we bought it and Subaru’s AWD and reliability got us. We are happy with the power, 0-60 has never been an issue, mid range torque is more important. Could it use more?! Oh yes so once the Hybrid comes out we will look at it for sure !!!

Thanks for mentioning the fact that you can’t do wired apple play.
