These trips are your best videos. Wish these videos would get millions of views so you'd be persuaded to do them more regularly.

I never though I would own or like a Subaru, my Kia trans died after 20k miles and just didn't want the issues so traded it on a 2024 OBW and I freaking love it, one of the best vehicles I've bought. Like the look of the new Forester but need that XT engine!

Absolutely love these road trip reviews.

‘22 owner here. I like the styling of the ‘19-‘24 models better but this isn’t bad. I dislike that they are not offering lighter colored headliners anymore though… all black will make the cabin feel more closed in, and an open airy cabin has always been a hallmark of the Forester. Hopefully they preserved the aspects that Forester owners love (spacious, airy cabin and loads of visibility)

I have a 2024 Forester Wilderness and so far I'm very pleased. While showing my wife the 2024 vs the 2025 she actually likes the 2025's looks better. Her 2015 F-150 is getting up there in miles so our discussion now is getting her a 2025 Forester Sport when the time comes. She's a truck girl but has also said the crew cab F-150 is a an overkill now. Please Subaru, bring back the Baja and then she can have both.

When my 2008 Forester Turbo started having problems at 180, 000 I was surprised to see Subaru just makes non turbo CVT Foresters nowadays. What a shame.

An XT with the 2.4 would be really interesting.

Bought my 2019 Outback because of your videos... love these road trip vids..

[adityaritti]

I love these road trip videos of your channel. One of my favorite is when you took Subaru Outbreak from Seattle to California.

I had a very effective driver awareness tool back in the day when I drove across the country. My friend would slap me in the head if I dozed off. On a serious note, I enjoy your videos and you guys do a great job. Keep up the outstanding work. This beats anything on TV and nothing is remotely close to it. YouTube is the future of entertainment/education. I don't see how network TV stays in business for everyone is watching YouTube now. I know I do. :)

It's awesome that Subaru took all the automotive journalists to Missoula, MT.
I grew up three hours from there.

I'm waiting for the new Forester to be released in Japan！

[kypertrax]

Great video hope you do more of these! Thank you for doing this with the new Subaru. I grew up in the Lewiston/Clarkston valley and driven HW12 many times (camped/fished in the Lolo area), love the drive.

2019 Forester owner I can confirm I get 600 of range my trip was from Leavenworth to Olympia it was mostly down hill didn't have to pedal much

[yutakoh]

Oh how I miss the XT 😔 Even without a hood scoop.

[kenhoward]

Great camera work, as always. "It told me 'Eyes on the Road, ' and 'Take a Break, ' even though I was driving perfectly straight down the road." These annoyances would drive me crazy. And imagine the almost-certain, upcoming, intermittent glitches that will be next-to-impossible to troubleshoot. Imagine the "Emergency Steering" override suddenly taking control...

Great that Subaru still makes symetrical full time AWD. Ryan your channel is great. We can see overall review and most awaited off road test and drive. Greetings

My 2025 Subaru Forester Touring White arrived to the Port of Baltimore last Friday from Japan. The dealership is transporting it to Frederick Subaru in Frederick Maryland for delivery. Trading in a 2018 Subaru Forester Limited White for new 2025.

Thanks I'm keeping my 2019 Forester. Having almost every control on the touch screen is a disaster waiting to happen plus it being placed well below the line of sight just made it worse. Why? Touch screens rely heavily on visual cues unlike physical controls where you can rely on muscle memory and feeling. Remember, things can go south in a blink of an eye plus the one thing every (good) driving instructor tells their students: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD.
