Just got my 2020 forester limited, after test drive crv, rav4, cx5 and Santa Fe . Subaru Forester is the best you can get so far in this category

Just bought my Subaru Sport today and absolutely love it!!! The black with the trim, outstanding!!

This is my dream car......hoping to wait 2 years and see the price drop about 10k for a lightly used one. It's literally got everything. The SPORT is key

Just did a test drive. This is absolutely the most spot on review. Well done!

I'm already in love with this gorgeous SUV and I am going to look at one today. I love the white with the black and orange trim. It looks so sporty!!! It seems that Subaru thought of everything in this compact SUV. My next new car!!! Thank you Lord!!!

I test drove the Forester twice. It’s a stress free ride and feels planted on the road. Very practical and fun.

we bought our 2020 Subaru Forester 9 months ago and it is fantastic, drives so well and have had no issues with it.

Good review. I like the time you spent and detail shots your took of the buttons & controls.

Great review. I just love Subaru cars. You havent had a car if you havent had a Subaru. They are very well built and reliable. I m getting one.

Well done on the review! That's exactly how I felt when I had my Subaru Sports (Crystal White Pearl) just weeks ago. I'm definitely one of your fan now🤗✌

Great job. Showing all the buttons and features is very informative and helpful. Inviting review. Coincidentally I am going to buy this exact car 😊

Ive had the Forester sport a year today, and I am so in love I was always a ford or chevy type of fella. But I fell in love when I test drove the sport I don't thing I could ever leave the Subaru team!

I just bought 2020 Subaru Forester sport upgraded. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

My wife got the Touring last week and she loves it. It's come a long way in even three short years. I'd be all over the Sport model when my time is due, if it had dual zone. Once you have it, you can't go back.

Just bought one and it is a really fantastic vehicle.

Thank you so much for a great review. Also for reviewing the CR V and RAV4. Your reviews are very helpful in guiding me in the direction of the new SUV that will work best for me. I appreciate your thorough/thoughtful/honest reviews.

Just bought a 2021 Forester Sport and I agree with everything said in this video about the suspension and steering. It’s really, really, really good! It almost rides like a nice sedan. I traded off my 2018 RAV4 Adventure which was a very good car but not nearly as fun to drive as the Forester. The Forester delivers a much more connected driving experience between the car and driver, if that makes sense. Oh, and don’t worry about power from the engine. It does the job and I like the sound of it. The transmission is awesome! Subaru has this car fine tuned wonderfully.

Excellent Review!! You are my favorite car review man. I can't stop watching these lol! Thank you

I will add to the Sun roof portion that when you push the button enough for it to go back, when it stops It will actually go all the way back to the edge of the opening for the sunroof if you press the button again... The auto feature of it will only open it up to where it stops in the video but if you wanna open it all the way you just press that button again and it will go all the way inside the roof

I love listening to your enthusiasm for this vehicle. I have this exact vehicle and came here to be reminded of what all the buttons were for. I had forgotten since my Subaru class and I am visual learner. I am the shortest in my family 5ft 7 and my son is 6 ft 7. We all fit in this car comfortably and that is why I got the Forester. I have had mostly white cars in recent years, since we live in Texas and I have had black ones in the past since and swore off them because of the heat. Went to go get the white one in mind, but the contrast of the black and orange was so overwhelmingly sharp, had to get the black. Love it!!

We just bought a 2020 Forester Limited. Thank you for your comments. They helped in our decision. We love it!

‘This is an awesome vehicle, and the gas mileage makes it even better this blacked out sport addition looks killer

Great review, I'm sold. Thanks for posting

I bought the 2021 Sport model (Crystal White Pearl) in October, 2021 and I have been enjoying it so much! Driving in the snow is a breeze. Also, I love the steering wheel too! It feels like fancy leather.

Ordered a 2020 Sport. Due in the end of November. I am SO excited. Loved everything about this car when I test drove it. Not buying it to race so didn’t care about horsepower and knew the tow limits, but so many more positives than negatives.

Have a 2016 Forester and just picked up a 2020 Forester Sport today. Big difference in standard equipment, but love them both.

Good review thinking of getting a 2019 Forester Sport in White

Thanks for the review! Only one thing about the sunroof, if you press open again, the roof will open all the way, that's how it is in Subaru :)

This vehicle video really gives genuine real life knowledge and experience people will have in an actual Subaru Forester Sport.

nice review - thanks man !

excellent review, thanks so much!

I just bought one on 4-20-23 and I'm very happy with it!!😊😅

I appreciate subaru for keeping things nice and simple, and simple always works best!!!

Recently bought a 2021 Forester, Touring. Great vehicle. I use it for fishing.

Firs time Subaru owner - just bought the 2020 Forster sport. I do agree that turbo will really make it better.

That Forester Sport, looks awesome in all black! Great review!

I remember seeing the Foresters as I was driving off the lot with my new Impreza and thinking, "Oops... Shoulda got the Forester." Now, the Impreza is probably better for me, as I love spirited driving and this car is very planted and low to the ground. The Forester will be my next vehicle when I start a family - the interior space is phenomenal, as is the ride comfort.

My wife just leased a new 2019 Forester Sport and loves it. Can't wait to see how it performs this winter with the X mode.

Hello, i just bought it in color blue. It is value packed!!! Lots of tech, awesome infoteintment, it rides really well, great traction, amazing brakes, Eyesight is a great safety tech. Great cargo space. The only thing is that is not fast...it will cruise without a problem, you will overtake quite easy and the CVT is the best in the business..it has paddle shifters that simulates gear changes, but on big highway hills it lacks punch..with a turbo it would be the perfect Suv. For me is a 9 out of 10. Great job Subaru!!!

Good review and coverage! Thank you for posting.

Just had a test drive on the Sport trim in Ice Silver Metallic which appears more light blue color. It's taller than the base and premium trims so the front view is taller. 29k seems like a good deal.

Excellent review.

Great car and a great review video. My only gripe is that the front end isn't very appealing. Otherwise this is one of the best SUVs out there.

I just got mine yesterday and absolutely love it. I got Sport with option package 24 that includes Star link 8.0” Multimedia Plus, 576 Watt 9-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system, Blind spot detection w/rear cross traffic alert & lane change assist, reverse automatic braking, power rear gate w/height memory. It also has Popular Package #2 that includes: Mirror Compass w/ homelink, Cargo Net, External Auto Dim Mirrors, Rear Bumper cover and all weather floor liners. It also came with rear seat back protector and crossbar set - aero for roof rails. I picked Ice Silver Metallic Color. Originally I wanted black one but when I saw this color at the dealership I decided to go with that. This is my first Subaru.

Good to see Eddie making content after his Vehicle Virgin days.

I like the back cup holders in my 2010 Forester from the bottom

Really good review, thanks.

I'm a new owner, 35 days, 1300 miles. Stylish and comfortable. Mine looks like the one you previewed.

Everything this guy says is So SO TRUE WINDOWS AND PHYSICAL SPACE IS GINORMOUS

I hear that on all 2021 cars they come with auto Stop -Start standard equip ? You should also mention how easy or hard it is to shut this off , At every start up and i think at every stop sign or traffic signal ?? Your reviews should talk about this feature !!! Thanks great review .

I have a 2019 Forester Sport. Black. Love it.

Great information. I'm buying a 2021 Forester Sport same color but with more features and options. Do you have a review on the 2021?

Wifey just picked up one. She's loving it. It's a really nice car. I was also really impressed with how much it can basically drive itself.

beautiful

The moonroof opens all the way if you press the button a second time…

I love 💘 my 2009 subaru forester premium pack Newport blue i like 👍 new 2020 subaru forester sports pack

A moonroof goes full way back, but you have to press the button for the second time.

Nice, and the filming/use of cameras was excellent! The fun factor was only a five? Seems like you enjoyed operating the vehicle more than a five rating.

So... What do you think of the orange accents, you didn’t really comment much on them. 🤣🤣 Just kidding. I love them too. Great review!

I luv the S mode for extra pick up for entering highways and getting pass slower moving vehicles

I bought a 2020 sport. The was a hiccup when shifted gear. after having it for 4 months, Subaru took the white one back and replaced it with another new one, 2020 in gray color. It does not have the hiccup issue, but at low speeds I can feel a slight shake/vibration in my transmachine. They say they all have. I spoke to a friend of mine who has bought she same car, he also feels that vibration. I love the looks of the car and all bells and whistles that come with it. I just wish that vibration was not there. That takes the joy of other wise a perfect car. Subaru costumer service is second to none.

I have a 2006 volvo s60 right now but subaru's are on my list for my next car, either a forester or outback since I am a Field Geologist.

Very fine review, sir. Thank you for the valuable insight.

Got mine in dark gray yesterday.

Everything you've mentioned in this review is spot on. I test drove a 2019 Forester Limited. The first thing I didnt like much is the mirror placement. It will take some time to get adjusted to it. The second thing was the little bit of body roll. Which that still isn't much of a problem. It feels planted as you said. I dont feel like I would end up in a ditch, dont have to worry about swerving out of my lane, nor did I feel like I would roll over in the corners. It has an excellent balance. The 3rd thing was the steering wheel. It has a great overall feel, but I wish it tilted towards me a little more. This did not effect the overall comfort and driving performance. The fourth thing was the braking. It's not terrible, but it will take some getting used to as well. With the vehicle being heavy, you will need to press the brakes a little harder than expected. But do not let this scare you at all. You dont have to worry about sensitive pedals or having to slam your foot down. It was very smooth and responsive when accelerating, and it wasnt sensitive with the braking either. I didnt have to worry about it jolting with the slightest touch. Overall, Subaru did an amazing job on the new Forester. I know some reviewers mention its underpowered, which in a sense is true. But driving it on the road casually I was able to get to 50 mph no problem. It's very well mannered. If you're reading this and considering buying a 2019+, go for it. Get out and test drive one! I'm going back for a 2020 Sport.

Just bought the 2020 Forester Sport yesterday and I love it (considering I bought it to cart around my daughter). It's comfortable and much more premium feeling than the other comparable SUVs I drove from Honda, Ford, and other manufacturers. The only real disappointment I have is that the Sport doesn't come with daytime running lights like the higher trims do. Beside that, it's a great car!

I hope by 2022 Subaru make wireless charging on this model, because I'm saving up to buy one.

Great review!

This is the only SUV I've driven that provides a really entertaining driving experience, which consists of far more than HP numbers. The boxer engine has an incredible feel that I have only felt the like of in an inline 6 BMW motor, and the CVT feels far less like a CVT than the terrible AT on my 2014 FJ Cruiser. I might also add that driving at night is far more comfortable than any vehicle I have ever owned. Absolutely no buyers remorse.

Red trim line is a nice touch.

Bought the Forester Touring yesterday for my wife. She LOVES it. It's a really great car.

I like these. I wish could delete sunroof from Sport package. Also the few I've sat in I wonder if the top of steering wheel blocks the highway speeds of the speedometer when I had wheel adjusted where I like it.

We purchased one. There is a substantial price increase for each model. We chose the Premium model. The base model, is just that. BASE. The next up model is the premium. The premium has the moon roof and tinted glass. It also has alloy wheels. We wish that Subaru would have put 18 inch wheels and larger brakes. But that option is on the next model up. Thst being the sport. The Forester is taller than the Outback. I like that. The Forester is a SUV. The outback is a wagon. The engine is a 2.5 boxer 4 cylinder. It is weak. 182 HP. But it is the only engine available. It is also weak for towing. 1500 lb max towing. The outback is a 5000 lb max towing.

i love the interior , the only problem is the look of the front .

i wish i had a subaru forester 4x4. japanese cars are the best. i really really wish i had one of those. subaru rocks!!!!

hello how to change the temperature from fahrenheit to celsius in forester V. Thank you very much for your help

Great video, thanks for sharing! Are you planning to do offroading video with the Forester too?

When it gets a bigger engine(and it will...FINALLY), I might get one. It's just too sluggish for me.

I own a 19 Forester Touring. It’s Sephia Bronze with Brown interior.

I will fall in love with it when they bring back the XT

You think for the 2020 they upped their game on the windshield quality?

Black and orange? There's should be more options like burgundy, purple, red, or purple something like that including the trims inside. I'm considering to buy one but I don't know when

Very informational. I think the only surprising/disappointing piece of info was that there was no auto control for the back windows on the driver panel. Can that be added or no? What 's different between the 2019 and the 2020 model?

will be getting mine soon! always loved the forester. I always wanted the grey color!

I love my Forester. If you purchase a forester make sure you get glass coverage if you have the eyesight it cost 1100 avg for new windshield. If it cracks around the sensors no cruise control.

My surfing buddy had a older Turbo manual Forrester we would go down dirt roads to some North shore surf spots. It was a fun car to drive. When my wife was coming home from work she was waiting in traffic a Dodge Ram pickup rear-ended her at speed. Truck flipped was skidding on its roof. She hit BMW in front of her all vehicles were totaled. There was nothing left of her Saturn except where she was sitting. She was afraid to drive after that. Her mom was still alive then day care we both worked. Got her a Forrester 2007. It is a great over the Pali car. It is smooth planted feeling going up & down the Mountain. It's rains hard up there sometimes. Over the decades have gone over Pali in cars, motorcycles, pickup trucks, the Subaru is the best. I don't like the auto transmission at all. Sold my Honda wanted higher seating so many drive SUV and pickup trucks here. Gave up on finding late model manual Forrester plenty CVT Forrester. Test drove Toyota Rav4, Honda CR-V , the RAV4 has geared auto trans. Push sport mode button let's you rev a little higher before shifting, Honda the new turbo have CVT trans and a lot of recalls. I actually found a 2016 6 speed manual from car dealer. Test drove it over the Pali & back over the H3 in the rain. It was fun to drive the manual works well with 2.5L boxer. Enough power going through the gears to merge with traffic. I bought know how hard it is to find a late model 6 speed manual Forrester. People who buy keep them.

My '78 Pontiac Grand Prix with a 305 two barrel V8 and new had ONLY 168 HP, and my Subaru '88 LE only had 113 HP!

I love the subaru forester sport 😍

I enjoy riding in SUVs. And since I love anything with FOREST in the name, I'll definitely enjoy riding in a Forester. No, I don't drive because of my multiple disabilities. But I'll enjoy riding in a Forester.

Wish they had other options for the trim. I personally hate the orange but if it was light blue I would be all over it

Can you only see roll in a touring trim? I can only seem to see pitch in my Sport.

With the back seats down, dies it block the rear ac? I plan to get this vehicle and my dogs will be back there a lot.

I love this suv!!! We're going to buy the white one!!! 💜💜💜😎

Thanks I am look into buy one

Glad you like... love the SPORT trims, colors and stitching, etc. Very opinion based review by your taste. Thats cool, but i prefer the TECHNICAL and factual highlights over opinion and taste. Next review... give facts and let the viewers determine what they think. Otherwise, good info.

The headlights are LED along with headlight following where the headlight turns in the direction of any turns. I bet they are really expensive to replace.

Good job 👍

I actually did it! After a flurry of vids, today I got my first Subaru 2020 Forester Sport-all black! Best deal in this price range and enough power to be snappy on the road, I was impressed. Vid helped, thank you sir!

Aren't these CVT transmissions only good for about 100K and pretty expensive to replace?
