Subaru is a cult. Happy to be a member.

Hahaha! We definitely feel this

Thank you for the video! I’m researching small SUVs , until I get to drive some back to back, the forester has the lead on paper to get the all wheel drive and fog lights

I went with the 2025 Forester last week, because the 2025 Outback kept the TCV on the 2.5L motor. The Forester removed the TCV THANK GOODNESS!!! Now i am extremely happy we went with Forester over Outback. 😊

I'm looking at the 2025 it's hard to decide what year to get. 2022 is much cheaper

Without going back to hear exactly what you said, but I was wondering about the “air” you mentioned. Was there a change in heater capacity???

Is this stable and secure on the highway doing 75-80 mph?

@jax1079 3 ай бұрын

Can confirm. We drove hundreds of miles at 75+ mph. No problem at all. In fact, thanks to the new seats, it's a place where the Forester shines now. Only downside is the average radar cruise control.

@@jax1079 I don't feel very good on my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid on the highway. The suspension is not very good.

Note: This Forester, Rav4 and CRv's are not "midsized" sport utilities. They are compact vehicles.

@jax1079 3 ай бұрын

Considering the size and cargo capacity of this class of vehicle now, they are much closer to midsize SUVs than compact vehicles. Categories have become blurred and mostly pointless as names. It's really space that defines the vehicle these days.

Very detailed video. Really enjoyed it. Just one question: why would a full time AWD car be popular in a region where there is no snow, & little chance to go off roading? I'm in Canada, so having a Subi certainly would have an advantage over just FWD cars, or part time AWD.

@jax1079 5 ай бұрын

My guess is the sandy conditions and soil found in coastal regions, especially Florida. The soil in much of coastal Florida is like sandy dirt, and I imagine that a Subie would be pretty rugged and capable without having to step up to larger trucks and SUVs

Much better in rain and oil rounds especially with sandy surface

I live in Louisiana where it's common to get 6" of standing water in residential streets after a deluge. The extra ground clearance and superb traction of this AWD help me to get through.

Great real time couple review. It might be better if each could speak without being interrupted constantly by the other. Just saying. I found the interruptions distracting! Sorry!

@@jax1079 I do understand when you are together. In your reviews which are detailed and good, it might be better if… as mentioned. Now in my 39 years of teaching I insisted on a fairly quiet classroom to “respect the classroom, as a place for learning!” I actually had that written onto the white board as a reminder. Yup old school I am. Got a lot of mileage from it though. Go Ni

It's one of the highest rated vehicles by Consumer Reports, higher than the CRV. I just can't get over the $3K price increase, especially considering the powertrain.

@jax1079 5 ай бұрын

This is true. The price is a bit dear at this level

@danielklett3661 4 ай бұрын

I get what you are saying, but unfortunately everything is trending that way. Pulled the trigger on a 2025 premium and really couldn't be happier.

River Rock Colour.

In Manitoba Canada with tax this car’s freight comes in at a whopping $2300 and a total cost with tax its $515000. Ouch. Over priced for a “Limited” trim!

Yikes!!

I just ordered the Touring....which is one above the base model in Ontario, Canada. It is the most popular trim. So I will be waiting for a few weeks.
