I have a 2024 Forester Wilderness and so far I'm very pleased. While showing my wife the 2024 vs the 2025 she actually likes the 2025's looks better. Her 2015 F-150 is getting up there in miles so our discussion now is getting her a 2025 Forester Sport when the time comes. She's a truck girl but has also said the crew cab F-150 is a an overkill now. Please Subaru, bring back the Baja and then she can have both.

As someone who's lived both in the PNW and NE, there's really no comparison. When people from the NW say things like that, it's usually a reference to the fact that you can SEE the mountain ranges from everywhere. The ranges in the NE you can't really see unless you're in them. In the NW, you can often see more than one mountain range from any vantage point, as well as one HUGE mountain (like Rainier, Hood, Adams, Baker, etc). Mountains are just more present in the NW.

‘22 owner here. I like the styling of the ‘19-‘24 models better but this isn’t bad. I dislike that they are not offering lighter colored headliners anymore though… all black will make the cabin feel more closed in, and an open airy cabin has always been a hallmark of the Forester. Hopefully they preserved the aspects that Forester owners love (spacious, airy cabin and loads of visibility)

I see the sky quite black on that direction. Everyone is waiting for the hybrid. Except we'll all get disappointed. Subaru's marketing revolve around their SAWD/CVT/Boxer combo. The problem is that this combo just doesn't get along well with hybridation. Their hybrid version in Europe gets a small 17 hp engine that pushes for an astonishing 60 Nm of torque. Whatever meaningful electric engine they put in the Forester, the CVT will just not cope with it without breaking. At this point, they could go the Toyota way and put a bigger engine on the rear axle but that would get away with SAWD and would make CVT pointless (vs e-CVT). No matter what they do, they are kidnapped but their own tech.

I love the redesign. They changed what I thought was the worst part of the Forester…the front end. It just looked…to use Ryan’s word,derpy. The rest of it I loved. So the front end looks better now IMO, a little more modern and aero and sleek, but the back end which always looked good is very similar to the last gen. As far as the “take a break” and “keep eyes on road” messages, obviously I don’t know if it’s the case with this Fozzy, but my wife has a Mazda CX-9, a ‘20, it doesn’t have the facial recognition software. However when we road trip it gives the same messages, but they are based on time and mileage. So once you’ve driven a certain amount it gives you those messages. Might not be the case here, but could be I would think.

Looks inside like my 2024 outback touring xt . Just came back from my long trip from NYC to Myrtle Beach SC and back . Drove approximately 1600 miles. Average 27.2 mpg . Two people and staff loaded in the car . Most of the time I was driving on cruise control. Average speed 70 mph . Turbo engine 277 hp . I’m using 87 octane gas (cheapest in NYC). That’s the great car . New image of Forester doesn’t mean it’s a new . Same like make up an old face . Looks younger but inside same old …my car is going 0 to 60 less than 6.0 seconds. 9.6 Seconds 2024 Forester ? With empty seats? I don’t blame you . I would do the same if I get paid. I paid for my car 41,056 plus tax and dealer fees. MSRP 44,368 . Happy Mother’s Day ! 😜

Thanks I'm keeping my 2019 Forester. Having almost every control on the touch screen is a disaster waiting to happen plus it being placed well below the line of sight just made it worse. Why? Touch screens are rely heavily on visual cues unlike physical controls where you can rely on muscle memory and feeling. Remember, things can go south in a blink of an eye plus the one thing every (good) driving instructor tells their students: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD.

I like the combination of words such as 8 to 10 gears and reliable 😅😉 But I would like to see a stick shift or a 6-speed , a "Welly spaced" 6-speed automatic transmission. Definitely no more than 7 speed and probably no more than 6speed . I have a feeling that you probably do not yet know the maintenance / rebuild / repair / replacement cost of these transmissions with a crazy amount of gears.

Thanks young fellah - here in Australia I’ve owned 12 Subarus but now drive a Toyota Hilux (US Tacoma?) - it has more storage options because we Aussies like our aluminium canopies fitted to our dual cab utes (trucks in US?) - no surprise that the new 2025 Subaru Forester looks like a RAV4 now given Toyota own 20 percent of Subaru - unfortunately the new lines of the front and rear look awful and dated - oh dear what were they thinking - I stopped buying Subarus after they introduced the flawed CVT here in 2013 plus the factory oil leaks of the FA FB engines - the old EJ’s were so much better - I got my first 1997 Forester automatic to 425000kms before the camshaft seized - an FA/FB engine will not go more than 300000km.

I think it is an absolutely fantastic car and will probably order one when it comes out with the hybrid model... what I don't understand is why they dropped the turbo 2.5 offering in this car several years ago. I believe Subaru should bring it back along with the new hybrid model. The standard engine is way too anemic for my tastes. I wish you would have videoed yourself passing that semi you came up behind on that 2 lane road to show how long it took to pass the truck if you even had enough straight road to pass it.

@@drivingsports Yeah... that's their excuse but, I don't believe it. In our area, they couldn't keep them on the lot. They were gone days after they landed and were not ordered cars by buyers. Mazda has no problem selling hybrids in their entire main lineup. I was told the real reason they didn't put them in the Forester was because Subaru believed it cut into their Outback sales.

@@ctclardy Believe it. They weren't selling that well, period. The same thing with the Subarus that recently lost the option of the standard transmissions. There were very few sales, but when Subaru deleted the standard transmission option, EVERYBODY was whining that it was no longer available, "I would have bought one with a stick", yadda yadda, etc. Well, they DIDN'T, and Subaru is not the size of a GM, Ford, or Toyota, so they can't afford to manufacture cars & options that don't sell. As for the "I was told the real reason" nonsense... show me a Subaru corporate official comment that repeats what you were told. Car lot BS - ALL car sales people with all brands spew this nonsense.
