Subaru Forester - Possibly the Safest with more than 100 Safety Features | YS Khong Driving

Whilst we get impressed with the much shouted about safety features in a vehicle, the base philosophy in building a car will determine how safe that car is. The Subaru Forester comes with a little more than 100 safety features that are incorporated into the build-up: this is only possible if the car maker has a philosophy that places safety above everything else.
This is Part 1 of a 2 part series. Enjoy!

I am indecisive about getting a Forester or a CRV. But after getting into both of them, I have immediately made up my mind. Proud owner of a Forester today.

Count me in

[@marcelmordechai800]

You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Have been watching with my gf recently xD

[@lukeruben361]

@Marcel Mordechai Yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself =)

[@Xyb3rTeCh]

The CR-V is an overrated, and overpriced shit box . Shitty fuel consumption, somewhat unsettling ride, and its an utter garbage.

[@deansama767]

One of the best Malaysian uncle driver I've ever known! Respect!

[@nickloong]

See that you are finally taking a more scenic route for your reviews sir, and a more leisurely drive. No drama and no hurry, especially for a family oriented vehicle. Love the drive by shots, keep up the good work! 😁👍

[@MeteorX11]

when i test drive the forester, it feels like i'm driving my e250. i love the sturdy feels

[@markp6586]

Great review Mr Khong....respect your expertise and knowledge. Thank you!

[@harvard_lee]

Awesome review, I love the Subaru chassis esp the car handling.

[@ccxcheng0512]

When late 80 or 90's, SUV was not very stable and might flip and 'terbuang' when cornering too fast, but forrester was the one that didn't crash when cornering due to it's structure

[@nickloong]

I have always been fascinated with the AWD and flat 4 boxer of the Subaru, but pity about their vehicle styling direction though. Then again, its a subjective topic when it comes to design. 😅

[@NAZYOUNG]

i like your review mr khoong

[@selespeed3]

subaru. high quality build in many of their models.

[@johnlee2540]

So blessed, every week new car....

[@YSKhongDriving]

Not mine, hahaha.

[@johnlee2540]

World best AWD system .

[@allantan7459]

Suggests a segment to show how the car sounds outside esp performance car

[@Swagzenegger]

Will all these safety features,i can rest assured when my 8 yr old take over as driver for long trip.😂

[@daniellai3535]

Good advise ... Always in control ... ;)

[@jayjay-kz2wr]

Hi uncle, I'm driving an 2016 forester. Just wondering if it really a nnmeed to upgrade to 18 inch rims? Thanks

[@YSKhongDriving]

Dont think that is necessary.

[@jeffrey2271]

Subaru Forester definitely has all the bells and whistles....but exterior design ermm.....XV is good looking

[@YSKhongDriving]

Looks, agreeably, are very subjective.

[@sartv386]

👍🏻

[@karishmen1145]

Hye uncle, I wanted to ask as a request to uncle that you should do another genting hill climb in proton iriz 1.6 premium. Uncle already did the hill climbing with that car but it was raining so we cannot really see the power of the car, so it is difficult to compare with its competitors. Thank you from one of ur fan🙏

[@YSKhongDriving]

We will try to get one. But unfortunately it is the rainy season now.

[@karishmen1145]

Sure uncle, thank you for the response 🙏

[@pskian]

Alfa Romeo 4C spotted 7:08 !

[@dineisharvin7747]

[@YSKhongDriving]

[@dineisharvin7747]

[@chingyuanchung1433]

YS Khong,I felt Forester was a safe car,I tested driving previous version before,if for a second hand car in market,do you recommend?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes.

[@tswah2001]

[@bluedream7264]

RAV4 vs this which is better?

[@keanbuantan3012]

Depends on what your priorities. If you prefer badge status, Toyota is the more popular brand in Malaysia. However, I bought a subaru mainly because of that. Due to its less popular brand in Malaysia, they give higher discounts than Toyota. So you get more value guy or your money as a whole. A very well engineered car at much lesser costs. RAV4 uses combinations of port and direct injection to lessen carbon buildup in long run etc while subaru uses only direct injection. However, periodic cleaning of the intake valves can be done at service centres to overcome this. Like uncle Khong mentioned, Subaru’s horizontal boxer engine allows it to sit lower and the car physically has lower Center of gravity, making it stable even without all the softwares. I always favor structural advantages over electronics.

[@malandvulamachawe6323]

I have seen the Subaru at the crash tests. Better structure.

[@vincentyau6338]

But too bad Malaysian all look for RV and exterior look, never thought about safety

[@W2L5G]

That Alfa isnso beautiful

[@Swagzenegger]

Notice it too

[@mrrobot783]

very safe but 13L/100 km on highways.. how much worse in city driving?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hmmm, you must have a heavy foot.

[@keanbuantan3012]

Yep, I agree with uncle Khong. I drive a lot of short distance and congested traffic areas. Start and stop and very little highway cruising and it’s often only 9.7 L / 100 km. Never seen 13 L yet. When driving out of town and cruising 110km/h , it’s about 6.7 L/100 km

[@keanbuantan3012]

Rpm is 1600 to 1700 @ 110 km/Hr

[@mrrobot783]

Uncle I thought I saw 13L/100kms on your video pls check at 8:34

[@mrrobot783]

I myself am considering to buy this forester but im having reservations due to fuel consumption, atleast 10kms per liter on city is acceptable for me

[@darrencheong138]

Subtitle very wrong.. its in Hindi

[@YSKhongDriving]

Check your settings0

[@JWick8]

Still looks like crap
