I went with the Wilderness because it has a ton of differences but it's also the lowest level trim to get dual zone climate control and I like it cold while the wife likes it warm so that was #1. Now we just need to wait like 6 months

@@dlg5485 ahaha ive seen you around a few of these forester videos now. Im just about at the same cross roads but im looking at a limited and a wilderness. Ultimately i think im going limited because i too dont need the extra offroading capabilities and i will miss the extra fuel economy. The Touring is a bit out of my price range but theres not too many differences between the limited and touring. Let us know what you end up with

The Subaru brand is for people who DON'T need all the latest gadgets and prefer to keep things simple and less expensive. Every vehicle won't be perfect for every buyer. You have to decide what features are important to you and choose accordingly. Given the value that Subaru offers, of course you won't find every single tech feature. That's the point of vehicles like the Forester. Also, reliability matters and the Korean brands are still catching up in that department. Looks aren't everything!
I will probably never own a kia or hyundai as they have notoriously had the teputation if being least reliable vehicles ever in my book. Everyone ive ever known to own has had nothing but troubles and you woyld often hear about these vehicles not even making it to 100k miles. Im really glad to see hyundai and kia is making great strides, but for me theyll never shake the reputation
Any car is a problem if you don’t service it or drive beyond its limitations. That being said couple work friends have a 2014, 2017 forester…..love them. No issues problems what so ever. Last one is the favorite and hot model, the crosstrek, as they put it the mini monster. The 14 and crosstrek over 150000 miles. The 17 over 110,000. Sorry about your issue but definitely not the norm and most other cars have issues to keep in mind
Not sure if it translates to the SUVs, but typically Nissan and the Hyundai/Kia sedans (think Altima, Sonata, K5) have significantly more leg room in the front because they allow much greater adjustment flexibility than than Honda, Toyota. Not sure about the back seats.
The Outback is #1, followed by the Forester and the new Kia Sportage. For the front seats only: Forester is a grain ahead of the Outback. Note: The Outback is a compact crossover SUV, NOT a "family wagon".
Look up Sarah n tune review of the turbo Outback vs the Forester Widerness, the new gearing in the Forester does much better off roading than the turbo
When my Rav wears out I’ll replace it with a Forester Touring so that I can order it in Crimson Red with brown leather interior. I HATE depressing grey or death black interior colors. Those Fugly colors have been pushed down everyone’s throats since 1990.
got a used 2015 subaru forester its definitely not the smoothest or quietest ride (my dads hyundai sonata is hella smooth) but i rly enjoy driving it! idk it just feels nice
just got rid of the 16 sonata for 22 forester.. definitely felt the difference.. especially when you just starting the car in the morning.. makes u think "is it supposed to be this loud??" 😂😂😂 but love the ride as well!
@@nyarhuyt9081 true haha! mine has 99k miles on it but in pretyy great condition whoeever the previous owner was really took care of it :) hope it lasts a long while i think maintenance is super important with these cars...but glad u like urs! good day!
Danger please don't be stranger! (sorry) my twin sis has a 2016/17 and hasn't tinted the windows?!? So much glass in to suck in our Nevada sunshine! Right there with all regarding the darn CVT...will the droning ever stop? Thx!
I agree with the rubbery droning when accelerating on my test drive. Felt like it was frequently droning when asked for any acceleration. If you can find a dealer not marking up or adding junk fees, they can be a pretty good value. Really need to test drive as this was one of the loudest SUVs I test drove.
I own a 2021 Forester and I HATE that I have to remember to push the button to stop it from shutting off the engine at every stop. That irritation is right up there with the head rest that pushes my head forward so I get to look at the center of the steering wheel instead of the road ahead. (I turned the rest around so it faces backwards.) The Forester is a good car but it seems designed by someone that doesn't spend much time in it. Too many little design decisions selected for appearance instead of usability. Consumer Reports really likes the car which means I get to live with these problems for a long time thanks to its reliability.
So do they just add more plastic to the panels each year? 2030 Forester won't have any paint at all. No paint, no scratches. Subaru engineering at its finest.
Lol the added plastic panels is on their wilderness trim which is specifically designed for offroading. And thise plastic cladding panels are a lot cheaper to replace then a painted fender. If you dont understand why the cladding is functional then you probably dont live in an area with rough mud and snow or you dont probably dont go offroading
Thanks, I’m gonna cross this one off my list. I realize manufacturers are trying to get better mpg numbers but the lack of engine power is really killing the mood.
hopefully, better engine specs across all variants: -a more modern Boxer-4 2.0L DOHC with Variable Valve Timing, now with "215 PS" @ 350Nm torque for normally-aspirated models -and a better spec for the E-Boxer Hybrid, now with a combined output of "250 PS" (and be a more sensible replacement to the late great XT Turbo)
Come on Mike, let's be real. If that front seat was actually adjusted for you to drive COMFORTABLY, there's no way your legs would have fit behind that seat while sitting in the back. Otherwise great review!
In my opinion, Subaru is kinda over rated these days. They are not reliable as much as Toyota, they are not nimble like Honda or Mazda, and their design and features are far behind of Hyundai and Kia. Subaru's AWD doesn't shine anymore because of its lagging cvt. What a shame:/
I totally agree. They there to be extremely loud with week power trains and outdated tech. Everything about the car seems to be a generation behind. In my area Subarus used to be everywhere 10 yrs ago, ppl stopped buying them.
KBB is being overly kind on this one - This car needs a major makeover in the interior design side. It looks a good 10-15 years old and the utilitarian look is more like a ford pickup than a urban crossover. Subaru is waiting for this product to be so obsolete that customers run away from it before it plugs in 17" touchscreen, HUD, adaptive LED Headlights etc. Sad!
Well your opinion is what it is... and idk what cars you were driving 10-15 years ago but the ones i drove certainly didnt look like that. But subarus becoming obsolete is just laughable.
Horrible CVT, lowest horsepower in class and no hybrid option, why do people keep buying this junk? Subaru just keeps falling behind in every category, every year.
You wet your bed a lot, don't you? The CVT is the best in the industry, many other SUVs have LOWER HP and perform worse, Subaru is moving towards EVs and skipping the hybrid circle jerk, and Subarus are FAR better than 3/4s of the vehicles out there. Please stop lying.
@@larrymaxrichardson6161 I’ve owned them. I’m also a mechanic. Most the people I see who like Subaru don’t know much about cars. Subaru is slow to the EV and hybrid game too. They are lucky Toyota owns a portion of them or they would be out of business in the future.
Finally a reviewer that I can relate to. I need to see tall people testing out these cars. Everyone knows a 5'2" petite blonde is comfortable in anything she drives. I need to know can a 6'2" man be comfortable!

Why are there no hybrids yet in subaru
Subaru does have hybrids just not for the forester. They had a hybrid forester a few years ago but it was crap so they pulled the line
@@SageLakshmi They have a hybrid Crosstrek, but it's crap, too. Subaru will slowly migrate to EVs. Check out the Solerra.
Hopefully they will work their engine and the interior exterior looks on 2023
No. needs a turbo, but with manufacturers being pushed into EVs.... I think this will be the drivetrain for Foresters until it goes electric.
Just ordered one. The only difference between the 2023 and the 2022 is a $500 price bump, that's it. No engine or exterior changes.
Love the forester so much but man that engine sucks! Would be great to just have that umph factor to accelerate

You would think they would replace the CVT with a ZF-9 speed.
Boxer engine with a 9 speed automatic transmission and AWD? I don't know how it's going to fit under there, or if it's even going to fit at all.

Test drive one. They’re not as bad as people are saying. The Lexus UX250 and many others are much worse and way slower.
Should the title say 2023?
The 2023 has not been released yet
Still its looks ugly. Come-on Subaru you can improve the design, don't put cheap plastic in the front bumper.

In my opinion, Subaru is kinda over rated these days. They are not reliable as much as Toyota, they are not nimble like Honda or Mazda, and their design and features are far behind of Hyundai and Kia. Subaru's AWD doesn't shine anymore because of its lagging cvt. What a shame:/
I totally agree. They there to be extremely loud with week power trains and outdated tech. Everything about the car seems to be a generation behind. In my area Subarus used to be everywhere 10 yrs ago, ppl stopped buying them.
Yeah review is bad is your miata vid. I see why you have more voice overs hehehe.
Msrp
Come on the backseat leg room is so so tight.
actually, If you aren't 6' 4" it is cavernous. Test drove one last week. very comfy in the back
Wrong. Try sitting in one.
Total lost my interest when you mentioned it comes with a CVT transmission.
I had many vehicules with CVT !
There great modern transmissions!
🇬🇧 Where's the knowledgeable hot blonde? Does she write for you and Micah? Do you guys even know to turn on a vehicle? Lol
that start/stop just sucks....
Yup - but the entire auto industry embraced this BS. Fortunately, you can buy & install an inexpensive electronic switch that bypasses the ASS.
@@eskieman3948 Or you can simply turn it off with the push of a button. (It's one of those buttons Mike said was "hidden" from the driver.)
The interior screams 2012
Can we have this guy do more videos and the other annoying guy less?
KBB is being overly kind on this one - This car needs a major makeover in the interior design side. It looks a good 10-15 years old and the utilitarian look is more like a ford pickup than a urban crossover. Subaru is waiting for this product to be so obsolete that customers run away from it before it plugs in 17" touchscreen, HUD, adaptive LED Headlights etc. Sad!
Well your opinion is what it is... and idk what cars you were driving 10-15 years ago but the ones i drove certainly didnt look like that.
But subarus becoming obsolete is just laughable.
Yawwwnnnnnn
Such an ugly car
Boring
Great SUV, weak engine.
Transmission*
Yeah no 🗑
No thanks on the Subaru...just find them to be just so ugly!
that body cladding needs to go. its too ugly and used too liberally. they make the ugliest cars on the road...
The cladding is there to serve a purpose not win beauty contests. Also the extra cladding is on the wilderness model the rest dont have it
Horrible CVT, lowest horsepower in class and no hybrid option, why do people keep buying this junk? Subaru just keeps falling behind in every category, every year.
You wet your bed a lot, don't you? The CVT is the best in the industry, many other SUVs have LOWER HP and perform worse, Subaru is moving towards EVs and skipping the hybrid circle jerk, and Subarus are FAR better than 3/4s of the vehicles out there. Please stop lying.
"Every category" except residual value and owner satisfaction. Do you own one?
@@larrymaxrichardson6161 I’ve owned them. I’m also a mechanic. Most the people I see who like Subaru don’t know much about cars. Subaru is slow to the EV and hybrid game too. They are lucky Toyota owns a portion of them or they would be out of business in the future.
Finally a reviewer that I can relate to. I need to see tall people testing out these cars. Everyone knows a 5'2" petite blonde is comfortable in anything she drives. I need to know can a 6'2" man be comfortable!
