When I bought my wife her Outback for her birthday , she wanted cloth interior. We disagreed. I thought she’d like leather more, but she insisted on cloth, so I bought her the Premium model with Ivory interior. 4 months later she told me that I was right and she wanted leather interior . I went online and found Katzkin who installed the custom leather, both front and rear seats with dark brown inserts and tan (ivory) on the sides and bolsters. Her Outback is Cinnamon Brown Pearl exterior so the new Leather is gorgeous and matches perfectly. My Forester is a 2019 Touring that’s Sephia Bronze with Brown leather interior. It too is a gorgeous suv.

Hello Alex, I've commented on a number of your videos. As I have mentioned before, we got a 2022 Forester Premium with four added options on Jan. 22nd. I just wanted to comment on one of the options the Premium comes with. The pre collision braking. This is insane(I say that in a good way!) It works very well. The one thing I noticed about it, when a car is making a right turn in front of me and they don't have to be that close...it brakes crazy hard. I'm not at an unsafe distance. It caught me by surprise the first 3 or 4 times especially at night. So. I either tap my brakes to disengage the cruise control or switch lanes if possible. We just put 1600 miles on it on a one week vacation. We learned a lot about the car on that trip. I'm only disappointed that I haven't been able to use the all wheel drive system yet! LOL! I enjoy your channel! Keep'em coming! Ron from central Texas!

I always enjoy your videos and learn something new each time as a newer and first time Subaru owner. Im still happy even though my car needs a new transmission with the recall on the outbacks. I have the Forester in the mean time from the dealer until my recall gets fixed that is why I popped on this video. I like driving it but am spoiled by the outback XL turbo version so not sure I could switch to a Forester.

The Forester spec sheet for 2023 indicates the Base model has smaller brakes than the other trims. Is that true? Buyers should know whether the Base model is compromising safety (not just amenities). Also, are there other obscure differences between trims, for example, do the lower trims have the same sound-deadening and acoustic glass?

Hey David! All trim levels have the same 4 wheel disc brakes. The only safety feature you lose out on in the base is the blind spot detection that light up in the side mirrors. All foresters including the base trim will have a sound insulated front windshield. According to the build sheet, acoustic glass isn't on the Forester side windows. If any have it, it would be the Touring trim. For example, the Outback touring trim has acoustic glass on the two front windows.

​@@alexpmo Thanks Alex! I'm still wondering why the "Compare Trims" page on Subaru's site says the Base Forester comes with 11.6"/11.2" rotors (front/rear) and the higher trims have 12.4"/11.2". I find no other mention of this difference in setup. Maybe it has something to do with the Forester's stock steelies, so now I also wonder if the alloy wheel package upgrade also upgrades the brakes.... or is this discrepancy just a mistake on Subaru's website? UPDATE: I checked the Subaru parts database, and it's a fact that Forester Base has the smaller front brake rotors. No idea how that affects braking performance. Note the part #s: Forester Base Front Rotor is 26300SJ000. Premium and above is 26300SJ010.

The app can't be downloaded to the car itself, but you can use Apple carplay/Android auto to mirror the nav from your phone up onto the touch screen display. It's actually much better than the tom tom nav in a lot of ways.

yes, that changes from trim level to trim level. For example, the sport, wilderess, limited, and touring will have the larger multifunction display with more info, while the base and premium have the smaller display with less info

Hi Alex, love your videos and Thank you for your time. Can you tell me if the Subaru Forester Touring comes with and option for either the Brown leather interior OR the Black Leather interior. I AM in USA by the way. And do you know if the Black leather would be the same that comes in the outback limited. Im stuck between the Touring or the Wilderness, I like power on both fronts and I like memory seats etc. but I love the rugged Wilderness look and capability. Thanks in advance.

Hey Mark! Thanks for watching. The Touring comes in black or brown leather interior. This is often times confused with the Outback Touring, which only comes in the brown leather. The interior design is very similar when comparing Outback to Forester. However, the Outback Limited and Touring trim have the driver's seat base extension and the Forester Touring does not. Other than that, they will look and feel very similar. Hope this helps!

How fast can you be driving and use “low” on the CVT? The reason I ask is when I drive in mountains I shift an automatic transmission into lower gears for engine braking. Can a CVT create ‘engine braking’ in hilly terrain? Thanks, Dave

@alexpmo 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Dave! I'm not 100% sure so I'll have to test this out. You do have the ability to adjust the throttle response on the CVT with Subaru trim levels equipped with paddle shifters, but I'm not sure if it also creates engine braking.
