I truly don’t understand why so many people complain of the power and fuel economy. The Forester has plenty of power and pulls very adequately (having a ‘20 Limited), and feels more torquey than most comparable (rental) cars I’ve driven. There is no reason to expect more, much less need it. Cars with more “on paper” power personally feel slower and less impressive at times. There are many factors that come to play, not just peak horsepower (torque curve, gear ratios, weight). Fuel economy similarly is lower in cars than they report when most people get behind the wheel and driving style matters more than EPA ratings most of the time.

I currently own a 2017 Impreza with the 2.0 and it is woefully under-powered for the vehicle, and the Forester's 2.5 has has the same problem. I understand that it's hard to squeeze decent fuel economy AND decent performance AND all wheel drive out of a single vehicle, but I think most buyers would happily sacrifice a couple MPGs for more class competitive performance. That said, most people buy a Subaru for the AWD, not for speed, so it is what it is.

Subaru just released their plans for the 2023 ascent and there is no wilderness addition. What they did do is upgrade the onyx

It’s time to fire the Subaru design team. These wilderness editions remind me of the 90’s highschool kids that put unpainted body kits on their Honda’s

I’m not a brand loyalist but Subaru has a cult following, just like Jeep. All other car brands have a following that changes like the weather but not Subaru/Jeep lovers. lol

I noticed on you 0-60 that the forester took it to redline and kept it there instead of doing fake shifts. Is there something specific you did to achieve that?

likely the drive mode

Brake torquing will cancel those 'shifts'

So the Outback Wilderness is $4175 MSRP more expensive, but is significantly bigger and has the FA24DIT motor. For me that is a new brainer.

Come on Subaru dump that CVT. ZF 9 speed would be an excellent choice.

I just think it looks odd with the rear end jacked up in the air. Those little tires too.
