In this video we outline the differences between the two and give details on the upcoming Hybrid Forester version, along with likely replacement timings for the current Wilderness Forester.

    I had a 2013 Skoda Octavia Combi and a 2013 VW Passat Variant, and amazingly, the Skoda had more space and more controls over the radio, although the Passat was the Highline version. If I had to do a choice on these 2, I would have gone for the Superb for sure

    I have no Mazda, but I see also the good and strong side of the products. A collegue of mine has a CX-60 and is very happy with his car. He indeed needed a new steering but all was changed with great attention without any cost and he was offered two free services on top. If you compare that behaviour to german premiums, I'm pretty sure you will be searching!

    You guys in Europe are fortunate to have fewer oversized trucks and SUVs on your roads, as well as having access to the new smart headlights that reduce glare. In the United States, it seems like the LED glare-cannons are steadily infecting our roads, with smart headlights probably being 5-10 years away for us. Meanwhile, we get to regularly experience the joy of two sets of LED headlights on oversized trucks and SUVs flooding our fucking mirrors with blinding light. While the nighttime setting for the middle mirror definitely helps, I still get plenty of glare from my side view mirrors.

    I hate my CX-60 with a passion, probably the worst car I've ever owned, I had a cx-5 a few years earlier which was great, I bought another cx-5 for the wife and she loves it, but unfortunately the CX-60 is full of faults, rattles, broken technology, a super harsh suspension , dangerous and intrusive driving features and now my air conditioning has failed after 10 months.

  • @abdokattab

    Had the CX-60 for about a year now had both the steering recall and creaking of the suspension at low speeds For the steering I didn’t have any issue but the dealer called me for the recall and replaced the affected parts For the creaking had to take it in for re-lubrication it’s been about a month now and it didn’t bother me again

    I have had the problem on my 2020 CRV with 39000 miles. Got a quote for £2100 to repair. I think it’s really short sighted of Honda since when the fault occurs braking becomes almost nonexistent. The first death as a result will cost them more than a major recall.

    My Jazz ehev - I did in 14 months 19111km and total gas consumption is 4,17 liter/100km. I do enter data into excell sheet, that is more precise than consumption from car computer. I had also a first gen Jazz bought in 2005 with average consumption about 5,6 lit/100km. I am very satisfied. We have also Yaris 2022 w/o hybrid but I think Jazz looks much more luxury car than Yaris. Thank for video. Jan from Slovakia

    I hope they go back to something more akin to the Gen3 styling. The Gen4 was too blobby and dull. I'm sure they will partner it with an awful range, which will make it completely useless to me and likely to go the way of the Honda e. It's all very well Honda saying that most commutes are 10 miles but most people use their car for different purposes and don't have the budget for multiple cars (one for commutes, one for motorways, one for long distance). Therefore they need a versatile car - one that can do commutes AND can drive across the country/internationally without making your life a misery. The Jazz did this well. So far, Honda hasn't released an EV which matches this versatility.

    So, I have recently ordered a new Tiguan Elegance 2.0 diesel (150PS) and it comes in 4 to 6 weeks and it is fully loaded at £45,000. I was going to buy a low-mileage VW Tiguan Allspace, which was priced at £40,000. Although it was good and pleasant to drive, virtually every single aspect of the newer version was better. When I added up all the pros and cons, for an extra £5k I was getting a staggering amount of extras on a brand new car that was better in every area. In the end, it was a no-brainer and nothing I saw in this video has convinced me I have made the wrong decision.

    I’m in Georgia, USA, and I have been without my 2020 Honda crv hybrid for over two weeks now. I paid almost $3,000 to have the servo brake simulator sensor replaced along with a braking fluid exchange which the dealership said it needed. I got it back Thursday and Friday after work it lit up like a Christmas tree again with a couple new warning lights. It fine it insane that Honda wouldn’t pay for the part when I have found several articles with people having this same issue.

    I’ve experienced most of the problems already mentioned on my ‘22 CX 60 PHEV. The most unnerving being the frequent phantom ‘BRAKE’ notifications and the downright dangerous, unprompted and completely illogical emergency stop that has happened on at least four occasions (fortunately with no one behind me). With some additional issues, such as the headlights strobing in the rain, and the significant paint colour difference between the doors and pillars, which all goes to the question of what one would expect for £55k’s worth of vehicle. As for recommending the car (or brand for that matter), in all conscience, I wouldn’t! Never buy a new, new car; free beta testing for the manufacturer without any form of compensation offered. I dare not keep the car any longer because I have little hope in Mazda rectifying any ongoing issues beyond the current warranty period. Sadly in the 20 months of owning the car, its value has plummeted to around £30k at best. Not great, considering it’s only done 4000 miles!

Have extended warranty which will cover it which is great BUT still super annoying as a) convinced my wife to buy Honda given their great reliability record and B) this is definitely going to impact resale value. Don't think I'll buy another Honda anytime soon. Had Rav4 hybrid before and general ownership experience is better.

My interpretation was this was never related to 12 v battery , but 48 v hybrid battery getting charged on a sufficient level? 2. Unrestle rear suspension. This issue I have and Fin dealer is trying to bury this by not publicicing recall and only reacting car by car complaints. Typical procedure in Finland.

      Many thanks for your comment! For 2022-2024 Foresters, Subaru have available a Class II hitch receiver (Part Number: L101SSJ005) which, depending upon the Subaru site / dealer page you visit, claims up to 3000 Ibs towing capacity. After checking again, we read that the higher figure is for Wilderness Editions only, but other pages claim the figure is for all last gen. So this should be checked with a Subaru dealer as, yes, the towing capacity shown under trim and specs on the US website (for MY2025) shows 1,500 only. For the all-new Forester. the latest hitch does not have capacities included: www.subaruonlineparts.com/part-ymm/2025-subaru-forester-hitch-receiver.html so that's definitely a dealer question! Interestingly, for buyers in Australia, the same 2.5 litre Forester has a towing capacity of 1,800 kg or over 3000 Ibs ( www.subaru.com.au/forester/specs ) providing it is used with trailer brakes. Without trailer brakes it's 750kg or approx.1500 Ibs. We'll try to get more information from Subaru to clarify, but if this is important to you, then your dealer should be able to answer. Thanks again for pointing this out!

      Congratulations Dave! Very happy to hear that you're enjoying your new vehicle :-) That's a wise choice given that the Forester will ride best on 18 inch wheels. The extra for Touring trim doesn't seem worth the cost, so Limited is among the best fin terms of price / equipment ratio. Thanks again for commenting!
