Hi! Thanks for your review! I just purchased a new Subaru Forester-silver 3 weeks ago & l too am very happy w/ my purchased. I just order a cargo net online to keep items from rolling around in the back.

I bought a 2025 Forester Base trim in the pearl white exterior color last month and I really like the car. It has almost everything I needed without the options I didn't want that come standard on the more premium Forester trim levels. I also shopped and test drove the Toyota RAV4 TRD trim but the TRD's MSRP was about $10, 000 more than the Subaru Base trim MSRP and the Subaru handled better and had the better AWD system. I like driving my Forester because it is a well engineered, well designed car that handles and rides well. No regrets over not paying $10K more for Toyota.

I recently purchased a 2025 Forester premium in silver and I’m so happy with it. Your Forester videos definitely helped me make that decision!

I subscribed because I appreciate your proper use of the term Density Altitude. 👏

Thanks for your review, just bought mine yesterday and live in Idaho. Snow is soon to be upon us exciting to see how it handles on my daily commute.

Thanks for the update on the 2025 Subaru Forester video. Very interesting. We were thinking of one, but after this video we are just not sure.

I wish you reviewers would fold down the rear seats and tell us if there is a flat floor or not and the length of the cargo floor--back door to back of front seats. Many of us want these SUV to camp in. Is there enough room for a 5'7" person to sleep?

Bought mine in Canada in black sillica color. The trim in canadas are different than the ones in USA and comes with a lot of prepacked features you don't have to pay for basically. I went from a mazda CX5 to forester 2025 and I have to say it feels very safe to drive that new car. Not sure if its the way the suspensions are setup and the overall weight of the car but I enjoy driving it a lot. Sound also is better than thr cX5, I dont have the top end sound system as well.

I agree with your comments on the lighter color. I went from Silver Metallic to a Dark blue Metallic, an it shows all the dirt & any imperfections 😢😢

It’s a nice looking car, and I traditionally didn’t like the forester, preferred the OUTback as the bigger Subaru. When my 23 Crosstrek lease is done, this is a top contender for a bigger SUV now.

Hi Thanks for the review. I saw an article today on MotorBiscuit that said… “Passengers can’t connect phones while the vehicle is in motion “. I was wondering in your travels if you have experienced this?

[RareGenXer]

Thank you. The stubby but tall cargo capacity shape is a deal breaker for me over an Outback, which is long enough for a nearly 6 ft person to car/camp or sleep in with rear seats down and front seats moved forward. Turns out they actually shrank it from the previous generation. Also, it's now heavier and has less power, though reportedly tuned for more torque at lower RMM's so slogging through town it might feel more responsive. The interior looks better overall though. But now it's burdened with the now ubiquitous giant touchscreen that has virtually all controls on it instead of much preferred physical buttons. Word is the upcoming redesigned 2026 Outback will thankfully have more physical buttons again, hopefully more like the optimal 2018-2019 Outback dash layout.

I was worried your Forester had collapsed 🤣👍

Glad you're happy with the Forester. Beautiful vehicle!

I got 30.4 MPG on my trip from South Jersey to Virginia Beach last week in my '21 Outback Premium 2.5L. The trip computer was a little more generous and showed about 31.1 MPG. It was mixed driving on US Rt 13 the whole way. I traveled at speeds between 35 MPH to 65 MPH

Texas will get a hard freeze once a year. When it happened a few years ago, my 2018 Forester was more than capable. Looking forward to my next Subi!

[josephpanozzo]

I’m considering one. I hope it doesn’t burn oil or leak oil. The 18 year old vehicle I plan to replace never burned or leaked oil. I hope you can review a base Impreza.

[kelvinkycheng]

Would you recommend to install tow hitch at the dealership?

[garystar]

I hope the CVT is improved over the previous generation I am very disappointed with my 2018 Forester CVT.

What is the passage airbag warning light behavior on your 2025 forester? Mine is always on with “off”. Really strange

[Zanderthelab]

Can you do a night time review? Or is that asking too much?😂😂
