The new 2025 Forester is Beautiful! Since I have had many Foresters and one Outback, I am sticking to the Forester!!!!

[cherochero]

Toyota's hybrid system's cost performance remains remarkably strong. Subaru's upcoming hybrid will also use the Toyota system, so we're looking forward to it.

YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY, SUBARU HAVE THE FIRST PLACE 🥇.

Test drove both 2024 editions and I went with the Forester 🙌

Enjoyed your videos. I drive a 7-8 year old Subaru Outback. I really like that it has auto-dimming rear view mirrors (optional). They make driving at night a lot better, without getting glares. This option is something that most cars in the price range don't even offer. A lot new luxury vehicles offer the feature only on drive side mirror. I think you should consider in your feature comparison. :-)

Great review. Just discovered Car Confections and I will be returning as I compare cars. Well done.

You should include glove box storage along with console storage.

[mollylevingston]

Just purchased the 2025 Forester. Loving it so far.

Can you please do a comparison between Honda CRV - Touring & 2025 Forester- Touring? Thanks

Which model is cheaper to maintain and service?

[ibdustin]

Leased a Subaru and it was be my last. 2019 Subaru Legacy with oil consumption issues. They refused to do an oil consumption test and just did free oil changes until my lease was over. The service manager literally said they are not allowed to do oil consumption test unless it’s severe. Mine was burning about a quart every two weeks. I wonder what severe was!?!?! Toyota all day. Now own a 2022 Camry Hybrid LE and it’s great.

I’m very happy with my 2024 RAV4 hybrid Limited here in NZ - haven’t seen the new Forester but as a past owner of 2 Foresters, I know they’re good. Hybrid system in Rav is great - I’m averaging 5.5 L/100

[koskos]

Please make the decibel measurement during acceleration also.

[glacierescape]

I would appreciate a measurement of how fast the car heaters work. Alaska winters are cold! Typically Suburus are great but I would like to see comparisons.

[jeannes.buesser]

Question what is the difference from the suburbs forester and Toyota crv Carolla used cars

[Beagle]

What do mean by dual exposed outlets on the rear of the RAV4 vs SF?

[robertcunningham]

One caregory you omitted was safety. Check the IIHS ratings.

[wadeglogiewicz]

I did not see the the comparison of the superior 4 wheel compared to Ravv 4 . What happened ?

[Drg]

Wish they could’ve compared this with the Limited RAV4 since it would also be the highest trim level.
