Toyota Takedown! Does the Subaru Forester have what it Takes to Beat the RAV4?

Watch our full 2023 Subaru Forester Review at Car Confections!

I did buy the Forester for my wife over the RAV4 and do not regret it! The Forester is amazing. A touch under powered but otherwise a very nice car.

I work at Toyota, and I bought a 2020 forester. No regrets everytime I have to drive a rav4.

To the crowd that says “Subarus blow head gaskets, ” that was 10 years ago people. Let it go. Trust me, you don’t think all the turbos they are putting in Toyotas aren’t going to start blowing gaskets and raising other issues. Just please don't do 10000 mile oil changes... Most people fall under the "severe" category aka halfing the interval to 5k.

I love my Subaru forester. The dashboard alone looks much better than the Rav4.

[ashleylitebrite]

Forester all the way. My 2016 Outback is a dream to drive.

Forester☝🏽 all the way Rav 4 isn’t as capable off road as the forester, and no Subarus don’t have head gasket issues any more.

I had a Subaru Forester and my wife loved it. Would definitely recommend it over the Rav-4

[TrojanRabbit]

Just brought home a Forester. I was impressed with quality of interior and it’s so comfortable driving home from work.

[ProfessorBelter]

I did buy the forester and have had zero regrets it really is a great car

[Francis.Rivers]

I wanted a Forester its more spacious than the rav4. Also the moonroof is wider. But i ended up with an XSE rav4 because of the MPG. No regrets.

I got a Subaru Forester 2024 and I love it!

[liltomtom]

I recently totaled my 2010 forester and we have a 2023 rav 4 rental and that forester is a lot better. I would rather be in a crash in the 2010 forester over the 2023 rav 4. W Subaru

Was looking for RAV4 limited but ended up bought Forester Touring in pearl white with brown leather interior. No regrets at all. Forester is definitely looks better than Rav4 in and out from quality build to pricing. Forester is Made in Japan whereas RAV4 is not.

Forester hands down over the RAV4. Just got myself an MY23 Forester and I love it!

[bobkloth]

I love my 2019 Subaru Forester Sport with over 60K miles. I have had zero problems. I love the EyeSight and having good visibility all around.

[M.R.]

Would not even consider the RAV4. Forester is far more superior in quality, ability, reliability, space, comfort and safety.

I chose a forester over the rav 4 and was shocked at my decision but man was it a good one!!!

[PiNKD_OUT]

No brianer. Absolutely amazing car. Hasn't faded from buying it either, I'm still just as much in love. Actually even more in love now that I know all it's secrets 🤫 one thing that shocked me with the Subaru is that I get non stop compliments on it. I've never had so many compliments on any car I've ever own. In fact the subi is the ONLY car I've ever gotten a compliment on!!

[gcanyon]

I've driven both and the Forester wins by a landslide IMO. You can't beat the huge windows and spaciousness inside. It feels very airy and comfortable. The Rav4 on the other hand feels very closed in and the ergonomics are terrible.
