Agreed. Bring back the turbo Ben. Wheels look spectacular. No manual climate controls worry’s me. If the screen craps out, that’s an expensive fix. Having owned subys in the past, I always was impressed with the EyeSight safety system. I’ve no issues with CVT drivetrain as some people are prone to whining about it. It just works well. Yes, let’s see a side by side comparison.
YES bring back the XT Subaru! But most likely will not, the best Subaru will give us is a hybrid forester. Hopefully with more take off power than the current models.
I love subaru as a brand in general specially from 2023 because they offer features, are affordable and better than old ones. I am sad to see the legacy go..
Hi Ben, can you do a comparison between the Sport and Touring trims? I want to buy one of these soon but not sure what the big differences between them are. Thanks
Subarus for the most part feel super gutless. They try to improve the look, but I thing this is one company whose "old and tried" powertrain is not a good thing.
Clearly you have not owned one! They are extremely reliable, drive excellent, get great mileage, and have great interior fir, finish, and comfort. All the ones we have owned have gone beyond 250,000. One should not speak from a position of ignorance.
@@Subie-Driver Yeah, I clearly don't know what I am talking about. After all, I only owned four. For total of about 12 years.... I even had one you probably haven't heard about, the SVX. Subaru used to take risks. Now they just another cookie cutter brand.
Subaru is basically a cult car company, and thus owners wear rose colored glasses. I used to own a Crosstrek, and like all vehicles it had its pluses and minuses. Not enough pluses to buy another one.
Subaru is the one brand that should have kept buttons in the interior.
The average Subaru buyer likes ruggedness, not screens.
compared to other cars Suburu has buttons still
Subi! Agreed bring back the XT turbo and you wouldn’t be able to keep a Foresters on the lot. I wouldn’t mind seeing a Forester Wilderness review.
I know people with an older one and this looks much better inside and out.

I like the blue one in the back it look nice
My last outback took me 393,500 miles on same engine and "crappy" cvt.

Can you review the fully loaded touring trim?
yes want to see the comparison 2024-2025
Nice review thanks. Sidewalks are important so folks can walk safely. We need more.
Turbo ain't coming back to Forester, but the hybrid should make a huge difference to the peppiness of the drive, just like in the Tucson.
Begs the question. When this gets the wilderness treatment, what will it be paired with?
It doesn’t
@@ekimandersom4478 according to Subaru “it’s coming”.
I would REALLY like to see this get the 260hp turbo option.
I would like to see a touring trim reviewed.
Are the 19's with the 50 sidewall tires an issue for ride quality? Usually, 19-inch wheels and tires with so little sidewall make for a harsh ride.
Yes please do a comparison between the 24 & 25 Forester.
Can you do a comparison between the Ford Ranger and the Ford Maverick please great reviews love your honesty
Hi, Ben if please consider and limited with package. I believe it, Thankfully exclude face recognition. Little paranoid about that

What is your review of the Harmon Kardman sound system?
Crosstrek sport vs Forester sport please
When is new Wilderness expected?
Subaru forester is a cool suv like the wheels
Bring back the Turbo!
Hi Ben Good To See You In Here 🇸🇦
front looks like a cop car ford suv.
Another Blue haired special by Subaru
CVT are not good for longevity
Wrong
Subarus badly needs new powertrains. The Hybrids can't come soon enough. And Subaru is stubborn on keeping Boxer engines no matter what.
It’s going to be boxer engines till the end
I'm on my 4th and final Subaru. Since 2020 the exterior styling has gone haywire. Hate all the new Subies with a passion.
The cvt transmissions worry me.
Why?
Subarus for the most part feel super gutless. They try to improve the look, but I thing this is one company whose "old and tried" powertrain is not a good thing.
Can’t wait for the hybrid next year
Their turbo models feel pretty good. It just sucks that they refuse to put them in the forester and crosstrek
Clearly you have not owned one! They are extremely reliable, drive excellent, get great mileage, and have great interior fir, finish, and comfort. All the ones we have owned have gone beyond 250,000. One should not speak from a position of ignorance.

@@Subie-Driverso 250000miles and the Cvt didn’t cause any problems. What servicing did it have thanks
CVT- hard pass

Not enough pluses to buy another one.
Literally, drive-bye reviews..useless. always good ride quality..😅
At least he gave us a thorough review around. He did something instead of watching lazily and leaving sh1t comments😂
