Good job, a real MD with product knowledge too.

I personally think the social distancing and reaction by government has been too much for a virus that by all accounts is no more deadly than a really bad flu season - but this is a great idea for a video. Great role model for his company.

Even though I purchased my car in the US I find this video very impressive and informative. Wish the US model has auto side folding mirrors

It'd take sometime to absorb all the info on Forester's features. It's packed and loaded, and getting to know all its capabilities requires throughly reading the Owners Manual and a couple of more presentations by a Subaru rep..Is e-Boxer a trim in the UK? From the video presentation this Forester maybe one of the upper trims in the lineup. Real good presentation by this Managing Director at Subaru UK. Hope to see more.

Dear Chris, please can we get the Forester Hybrid in Sport trim one day. I'd definately get one then! Does anyone really like lots of chrome... nope!

Have Subaru addressed the flat battery issue and done a recall on all those affected ?. I like the look of these but will never buy one unless i know 100% i can leave it for a few days and it will start no problem. A local Subaru dealer has even said it is an issue

Can you close the doors and then walk away and the car will automatically lock all doors?

Presentation is spotless ( as this gentleman shirt) which doesn’t change the fact that this generation of forester is huge let down, in terms of fuel efficiency and power and i feel " E Boxer " badge in this vehicle is only for regulatory, correct me if i am wrong. By no means its "Greener " in fact quite opposite, by producing something like that Subaru Crates more pollution and wasting this planet resources .Also not sure why there is no Subaru Plant in Europe ? transporting all vehicles from Japan creates quite a lot of CO2 and bring price Up . Still lacking many features which are pretty standard these days in given price range for example : sliding back seats, spare Tyre, front sensors and front camera ( or 360 camera ), better sound system, head up display, all auto windows ( only front are auto), not sure about auto speed lock, remote start with key fob or app, ventilated seats, hands free tailgate, its has smaller fuel tank compare with non hybrid, 240v outlet ( for camping etc ), wireless charging, more small storage compartments, too much piano black finish in place where it gets scratches so easily. Car should apply handbrake automatically after shifting to P, one button for screen off at night, favorite programmable hard button on infotainment, why 3 screens ??? Why CD player ??? In my opinion the car is overpriced, due to taxes probably (cost around 24k in Japan) . Now US and Japan gets 2.5L engine which is probably more adequate to this vehicle. Selection of materials are no so adventure friendly ( which this vehicle is partly design for ), could be more rugged, dirt and scratch proof for getting thing in and out, plastic most company ( also subaru ) are using is cheap and nasty, singe touch with nail and there you have a scratch . Lack of alternative for leather seat cover expect cloth, which is useless and gets dirty sooo easily or salt marks after beach swimming ( now what about StarTex fabric they use in outback which supposed to be quite durable and stain proof ) . I live in warm/hot climate and because there are so many black part (interior) including steering wheel, seat belt ... those gets extremely hot, crazy hot not to mention black leather, you know what i am talking about. I would love to see the option for remote start A/C or at least remotely dropping all windows ( before you jump in) to vent the car. Another disappointment is Suabru Starlink which is useless in Europe but quite useful in US and i think Canada ( you can use app to start up engine, climate control, location etc ?) These are just my observation and suggestion by no means complains . At End of the day it moves you from A to B comfortably and that's what matters, so huge thanks for that, appreciate.
