I just bought my first Subaru this week. It's an older model Subaru forester. I don't regret buying it one bit. I love it so much. Now I think I will always own a Subaru.
I upgraded from and older forester to a newer RAV4 and I really miss being able to dominate any off road obstacle. My RAV4 is good but it ain't Forester good.

My wife is a beast of a negotiator - always gets crazy deals - but this is essentially what she does for new cars: Go into your local dealer and ask them for their best price and to include any extras they can. Tell them you will be shopping around. Then look on carsales in the new section for the car you want and contact the dealers that have them. Do the same thing and ask them for the best price and deal. Make sure you tell them if you have a better price already and they will usually match it or beat it. Call any other dealers you are interested in buying from and keep asking for a better price than you have. If the dealer is within a couple of hours of you they will often offer to deliver the car to you for free - especially if it's near the end of the month. Once you have the best deal, go back to your local dealer and give them one last chance to beat or match the offer. If they won't, then buy the car from the place with the best deal. And don't be afraid to tell them what you want, with what extras for what price - especially if you are actually at the dealership.

Growing up I always had cool sports cars or 4X4 vehicles. Then as I got older I decided to buy a practice car so I bought a forester. I drove it for about a year and loved it, my son went away to school to in Hawaii so I decided to ship it to him and it was there for 4 years and he loved it and put it through the ringer. We brought it back once he graduated and he’s driving that thing around. We’ve used that car for everything including off road camping, trips to Home Depot, trips to the snow and everything in between tween. When my second sone went off to school I didn’t have to think about what car I’d get him. The only negative thing I’d have to say is that you need to keep us with the maintenance and repairs before they get out of hand.
I got a '16 forester xt touring fully decked for $37k cash out the door last October. Best all around vehicle I've ever seen. Fast, practical, lots of space, great off road capabilities. For anyone with dogs and kids who still wants some pep and to be able to go camping, this is it.
It was pretty steep! Here's a picture of it when I was headed down... i143.photobucket.com/albums/r147/gogohatchie/Spring%20Break%20Soft%20Road%20Meet/DSC_0061.jpg I don't think CRV or RAV4 drivers are crazy enough to try this hill hahaha.
Not a chance. Their AWD sucks, and can't put full power to the wheels once one starts to slip. It would roll right back down the hill. UA-cam: AWD test. and you can find a detailed comparison. Subaru rocks!
supernova1976 you can add H&R 30mm lift springs. Then it becomes about 200mm ground clearance. That would be great mod. Then try with a AWD lock mode on CRV. I forgot the engineers forgot to add this option. Looking forward for their new AWD firmware update. More pressure from potential customers and existing users would become a reality.
Aah, sweet Forester XT. I do enjoy my 2015 FXT quite well, especially with the a COBB tune ;) I haven't had any chances to try its X-Mode out on something like this tho =/... hopefully soon. At least it's getting around time for some snow; blizzaks are mounted and I'm just praying for the white goodness! :D
Christopher Burton Subaru have since then fixed that issue. They also found that people who were having issues with the oil consumption, actually were past due for their oil change. And something i found funny was even though some of the engines, mainly the older ones, were burning the oil faster than normal, they still had lower emissions then most cars. And thats not even including the partial zero emissions versions!
waldojim42 Depending on the year and type of engine it is normal. As long as you stick to changing your oil on time and getting regular maintenance you should never have to worry.
+hyankov Subaru's system is considered AWD with a center differential. A 4x4 system typically is part time and uses a locked center diff to distribute torque between the front and rear differentials.
In most countries anything AWD or 4WD is just called 4WD. So in Europe they would say the Ford Focus RS is a 4x4. In the US its different. A truck or jeep with a transfer case has 4wd. A car or car based SUV that has a center coupling is AWD. But even with AWD there are different types with drastically different results. Some can send most of the power to one wheel, while others if one wheel has zero friction, all the other wheels will loose nearly all power.
A "real" 4x4 has manual control over axles and center diff locks. Toyota Land Cruiser up to model 100, older Nissan Patrols count as 4x4. The others are AWD SUVs.
+C Steele - Yep. Subaru's "Symmetrical AWD" usually performs better than most "real" 4x4 all terrain cars... ua-cam.com/video/O1tPIOeVvVU/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/mDkJJCoQdmE/v-deo.html
Great video! I used to own a 2014 Forester XT Premium and it, plus a couple of Maxtrax, could take me to a lot of places actual 4WDs were venturing. Hills like this with no major ruts were easy for it. My only gripe was that there weren't any local (Aussie) options to modify the vehicle so as to drastically improve its ground clearance and its approach, breakover and departure angles. In the end I sold it to get an FJ Cruiser and modified the shite out of that instead. Selling the Subaru felt like I had lost a close friend though :(
Thanks! As much as I like my little Forester, I'll always have my eye on a TRD Pro edition 4Runner. The lack of a locking diff option and the availability of a bolt-on snorkel kit are some frustrations I encounter with the Forester. It prevents me from going on some trails north of my location. But I'll be holding on to him for a while.
Impressive is subaru forster good car when they are new or what becouse i have been seen so many videos about head gasket and trany givin up before 100k is it true i need answers only one can answer is subaru owners im trying to buy one im looking at years 2010 and up so please help me make right decision
That was awesome! I wonder if the standard 2.5L Forester engine can climb a hill like that so capably? I know that turbo-charged XT engine produces quite a bit more HP than the standard 2.5L version. Cheers...
What trim is your forester? Mine is '13 2.5 premium with stock 17" wheels. The geolander tires are 225/55r17. These coopers are 235/60r17. Looks like he's using the OEM wheels on his XT, so I would imagine it works on my wheels. I really want these tires too lol.
+Kyong Song I think the last time we went to this hill, the rain had washed out the dirt leaving large boulders exposed, so we didn't get to send a newer CVT XT up the hill.
Is that true that automatic 4speed gearbox has not symmetrical AWD drivetrain , only haldex style differential? DO you have some more crazy videos? Maybe some obstacle was not possible to reach?
+WiewiorPLater1 the 4EAT uses a clutch pack to engage AWD electronically versus a mechanical center differential as the manual versions. It's still a symmetrical system with 50/50 distribution in the lower gears and then 60/40 at highway speeds on the SH. I have more videos, just browse my channel! Search Minos bypass to see an almost impossible climb that a Jeep Liberty attempted multiple times and I did it in the first attempt.
@ 0:13 The front right wheel went slightly in the air, the torque took the path of least resistance and went out that wheel, look at the back right, when that happened you could see it loose power, the Forester was only able to keep moving under momentum, not power. If it did that when moving slowly uphill, and if it was on an un-even rocky surface and one of the wheels went off the ground, it would not be able to move forward.
Rick LeRoy My opinion is that Its not the momentum. There is a video about the new Subaru improvement to their AWD system and they explain every think there You should watch it😊
Did you experience any rubbing on the fenders? I got the '15 forester and if i want to get all terrain tires I need smaller wheels in order for the tires to fit.
HOlY shit! I bet a center diff 4runner would not be able to climb that! I would actually put money on it too. WOW subaru is 100 percent the king of traction. I am incredibly impressed! only thing that would test it would be ground clear and a vehicle with real lockers. thank you for posting.
@@Machineautomotive haha! yeah i figured might be a brake ride and slide. not sure if newer foresters have a hill descent mode, but some kind of engine/intelligent braking would be great
Machine I understand that even in an automatic transmission, there is a clutch disc that could burn if it slips too much. I learned this with my Mitsubishi Delica, I was climbing an uphill road, and I was trying to make it upshift. But it would not, instead, the clutch smelled burned. So I did not give it more gas
+pinoywheelgunner ok I understand now! The transfer clutch for the rear differential you mean? No it didn't smell when I got up to the top, there was a lot of wheel slip provided by the loose dirt.
Subaru doesn't use a clutch pack for the rear drive like most other manufacturers out to get the best MPG on paper. Subarus have a real center differential instead. That's what makes them good.
thundercamel - all automatic AWD Subaru models actually use a clutch pack. Active AWD uses a multi-plate transfer clutch pack that is electronically adjusted. VTD (variable torque distribution) takes it further by using a real center differential through the use of a planetary gearset. DCCD takes the VTD system even further by allowing manual adjustability of lockup combined with a viscous coupling center differential (made before model year 2018) much like the Continuous AWD on manual transmission AWD Subaru vehicles. The updated DCCD on MY2018 and newer WRX STI models now only uses the planetary gearset combined with the manually-adjustable multi-plate transfer clutch pack.
Thats really cool, just dont wreck that vehicle. I can see doing that when i was 18. Still, it proves how effective the all wheel drive set up is on a subaru.
I had the exact same Forester xt only in white! As long as you don't completely stop on a hill with a tire off the ground, it will go anywhere. Must turn off traction control to go up hills like this, computer needs to see wheel slip to engage wheel braking. 09 to 13 is the best due to the 4eat transmission and wheel braking electronics. The newer cvt's limit power up steep hills to save the cvt from over heating.
Subaru merece buenos diseños!!!!!!!!! No es posible que su similar que es la Hiunday tucson sea la 2da marca mas vendida en peru y ya casi en larinoamerica siendo pero ni la mitad de buenos y co fiables que esta marca . y todo por sus diseños sosos ..

it is amazing inspite of hitting the rock face at the top.. moving 6 inches left would have been smooth sailing !! Subarus are forgiving !!!!

Any CRVs or Ravs going to try????
lol those 2 would get stuck, however an Audi Q5 or Volkswagen Touareg would be a different story
Well said!
pretty much. either get a subie or spend 2x as much
Don't underestimate Honda crv
No. Those city folks with CRVS and RAV4s just never get out of town so they couldn't care less to try.
Thats a good One..
man, they really dont make them like they used to.... pretty sure my SK forester would cry if i tried to take it up that hill
I giapponesi sono bravi nel costruire le auto. Lo dico da Subarista.
すっばらしい(スバルらしい)
Si a mi me gusta mucho exelente
+Jeannete Perez Illegal!
It’s also drivers skills
Let's see you try that in a Ford Escape or Honda CR-V
Yeeee! Он так может!
Don't get me wrong I still love my Mopar
But since I bought a Forester
Way better than a Jeep
Thumbs up
You couldn't of done that, becouse theres others videos on UA-cam saying they have proof the world is "flat".
i dont get why people are so surprised. theyve been known to do this stuff for decades now
Am not even surprised, its a subaru
That is how a traction control is supposed to work! Japanese tech as it usually are: Functionally!
outstanding for a stock automobile. damn.
Subaru merece buenos diseños!!!!!!!!! No es posible que su similar que es la Hiunday tucson sea la 2da marca mas vendida en peru y ya casi en larinoamerica siendo pero ni la mitad de buenos y co fiables que esta marca . y todo por sus diseños sosos .. Aumentenle unos 4 cm mas de altura por dios . esta bien que mientras mas chato mas estabilidad y agarre pero por diaeño hiunday demostro q poco importa
Sorry Audi, you can stay down there!
quattro will crush this hill
