In 2019 was"...the biggest recall Subaru has ever seen. Some 1.3 million Subaru Forester SUVs, Impreza sedans and wagons, WRX and STI sedans, and Crosstrek SUVs were recalled in March for an issue apparently stemming from contaminants in common household products such as cosmetics, fabric softener and car polish that could cause a brakelight switch malfunction. Word to owners should have been passed along starting in late April, but if you still haven’t repaired your Subaru, know that dealers only have to replace the brakelight switch as a fix." Cars dot com "...70 percent of new Subaru vehicles are now the object of recalls or service campaigns within two years of being purchased, noting that the “permissible limit” should be around 10 percent."

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.

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!!

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.

From what I've gathered from other reviewers. It's best to use Xmode in lower speeds. Roughly 18 mph. So that means xmode is best for more than 3 inches of snow. With xmode off, it does rather well. Only use it when you really need it.

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!!!

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.

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.
@jasonm1690
@jasonm1690 4 жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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.
