Having physical buttons isn't for an older demographic, it's just plain better and safer to having than a giant touch screen. Not everything needs to be a damn touch screen.

I'm on my third year driving my 2019 Forester and it rocks!

I like your videos. We recently bought a 2020 Forester Limited and are very happy. Keep up the good work!

2021 Sport owner. Best car I have ever owned. I enjoy driving it too much.

I just bought a 2021 Forester Limited about two weeks ago. I love it! So many safety features and such great handling, I traded in my 2007 Forester Premium and don't regret it a bit.

These are all the reasons, why I bought my first Subaru Forester. I love my Subie Forester XT!

Awesome. Very informative. Thank you so much.

I absolutely love my Subaru. Will upgrade from 2018 to 2021 Sport Forester.

Arguably the best car in the world

Loving my Forester too!!

Just got a 2021 touring 4 days ago. Couldn’t be happier and got a great deal too. Saddle brown interior is amazing looking too

Have a year to go on my 3 year lease 2019 outback, undecided

Love my Forester!

Have one and love it !

Love my 2021 Forester!!!

2021 sport crosstrek for me. Loving it, but the forester is definitely the better bang for the buck.

Just got a 2020 Sport and Love It!!!!

We ordered 2022 yesterday. It'll be ready in 2 months.

I have a 2015 forester and love it . My next suv will be blue 💙 in 2022.

My Wife owns a 2020 Forester and I own a 2018 Outback. Love them both!

I so love my Forester, I have a dog, live in very rural Ireland so shop less frequently and carry more, and run a small market stall. These vehicles are perfection for me. I need to update this coming year, I have always had an XT and as I see they are no longer available as an option, I might have to look for a good used model. It will be my third! 💕💚🇮🇪☘️

I just bought this 2021 in pearl white

I love my 2019 Foz Premium. Wish I had purchased Sport or Limited, but it’s a great commuter!

I love my 19 Subaru Forester Touring.

I love my Subaru Forester touring. I have the horizon blue pearl in brown leather.

Bought a 2004 forester premium XT 2,5 turbo 350 000 km Still going strong

It may sound nit picky, but I wish they'd put the same pocket space above the glove box like they do the Outback. As big as the Forester is you'd think they'd at least add that feature.

私は日本で2008年からSHに乗ってます。13年が経過しました！　6月に2台目として、SKフォレスターを購入しました。

Great review!

I have a 2021 outback and love it , this is my second Subaru, I wont be going big three again , and my Subaru was built in the UAS .

We bought a 2004 Forrester and it’s still in use everyday . Nearly 300.000 Km on it.

Subaru needs to update ALL their models, no more cvt, better touch screen located higher, better seats, better lights and keep the good awd system.

Just bought new car, never thought we would be leaving in a 21’ Subaru Forester Limited

If the base model forester wasn't so stripped down, it might have taken the cake, but as for me, I am eyeing the 2021 sport trim crosstrek. The premium trim forester is a very similar value proposition, but I think the crosstrek's size and looks edge it out for me despite the lower internal space.

You think theyll bring back the turbo?

I agree, the only thing that bothers me about the Forester is that the CVT cost $8000 to have it replaced. Most vehicles like the Buick Enclave, cost $4300 to have a remanufactured put in. That's the scary gripe I have with the Forester. Bring the replacement cost down. If the car is worth $10k Private Party when you need a new CVT, does it really make sense to sink $8k into it?....

did they fix previous years electrical issues along w the issues w Subarus CVT issue ???

Reason number 6, the oil filter is so easy to change.

i love my 2021 Subaru Forester premium ☺️

I'd buy one if they still offered the 6-speed manual. Won't own anything with a CVT transmission. Manuals are cheaper to work on. Cheaper to replace, which hardly ever happens and you control the RPM and power. You can't beat a Roo with a manual in the snow and ice with real snow tires. Bring back the 6-speed and I'll buy one right now. Want one for a daily drive in Montana. Guess, I'll keep my current 2018 Forester. Last year of the Manual 6-speed. At lease let us special order them.

Eye sight sucks when trying to pull straight into a parking spot in a parking garage. It goes off so much thinking I’m going to crash when I’m just trying to park. It’s super frustrating!

is this still a good buy if im a 23 year old who just wants a high car for outdoor activities or do i need a family xD?

Wish they would option in a manual

Any experience with the fuel contamination, head gasket or the "lifetime" transmission fluid? This was my top contender in the "workings" did of things, but reading about the longterm maintenance and reliability has put my purchase on hold.

Are they starting to build those with two sets of pedals so both upfront occupants can peddle?

Have hour battery upgraded, I'm constantly charging mine and only have 22K, cold start CCA is too low.

..hmmmm because it's the BEST car. On the market.

I just replaced my 2018 Forester Limited with a 2021 Forester Limited.....

so anybody having driver seat problems? my 2021 forester touring driver seat starts squeaking whenever I get on and start driving. PS. started squeaking 2 weeks after getting it from the dealership.

Can CD player be factory installed versus USB add on in 2021 Forester or Outback?

Has Subaru fixed the front windshield cracking/excessive chipping problem? It has been so bad there's a class action lawsuit against Subaru for not addressing it...and also not standing behind their product (under warranty) and replacing the bad ones!

towing?

All of those 5 reasons sound good, but there are 2 reasons for me why i wouldn't buy it. 1. It's way underpowered, it needs easy 20+ hp. 182 hp just doesn't cut it. It doesn't even need to have a turbo engine, 4 cylinder or V6, just more power. 2. It needs ventilated seats. They need to get on with the program, every other small crossover in the same segment has more power and ventilated seats, at least you get one trim level with those options. 19" wheels wouldn't hurt either, forester has a big body, those 18" wheels look just too small.

I think that it having a direct injection is an issue!

Vastly underpowered. Awesome AWD, excellent reliability, dated interior, and best visibility of any car. The perfect car for boring beancounters.

Stay away from souped up turbo engines from the allure of more HP, Forester is indeed a good value but not for the all wheel drive Subaru talks so much about, Front wheel drive with t/c is more than enough because in snow the all wheel drive system won't make the car more secure or safer. Comfortable, spacious, good visibility out front, sides and back. Easily learned controls and nothing digital to be accessed from a humongous touch screen like in the Outback. Look at Premium, Sport and think hard about getting the Limited as the bells and whistles may not be worth paying more. Forester is reliable and dependable, as well as reasonably economical on gas, I own a 2018 Premium for which I had to pay extra for the "driver assist features", quite a bit extra, At least these technologies are useful, but not all of them, I recently test drove a '21 Forester and it felt larger and wider than mine. The new one is some 2 " taller and 1" wider. I took it for an extended test drive in a rainy day and it handled well. Hopefully my experience helps.

I think I’ll wait for full self driving. I don’t want to pay for a car that keeps telling me to keep my eyes on the road, I already have a wife that does that.

But they dropped the Orange color.

I'll wait for the turbo edition.

Got ready to buy one yesterday, but the CVT is loud then I researched it. The CVT is crap and will break after 40,000, I passed on it just because of that CVT.

lose the music, hard to hear you

How tall is the guy sitting in the back seat? Looks like a pretty small man.

CVT ruined subaru off road power😡

You forgot to inform your viewers about setting aside $3K to $4K to replace the head gasket and repair oil leaks. I've owned 6 Subaru's, so I know never to buy another one.

as a long time subaru owner ( currently on my 3rd) heres why i wont get a newer model. 1: they have got to big and heavy 2: too much electronics ( i repair electronics as a profession) 3: and the biggest issue CVT. the transmission from hell

Subaru needs to step up there game with technology for the forester. No wirless charging or wirless carplay. The 2022 hyundai tuscon makes the forester look like it was made in 95 .

Will wait for the next new model. The current model is just plain unattractive. The previous model had better design lines than the current. As for the wheel rim design!......dont get me started on them

Please…”VALUE” includes price implicitly. Value stands on it’s own..it is a good value or not but “for the money” is redundant.

Granny car with no HP or acceleration until they come out with some power

No turbo for that one hell nooooo

Poor transmissions, watch tfl , won't even spin a tire. Poor engines. I had one, burned more oil, than a Honda with 300000, Subaru was new. I like them but not ready to trust them. If Scotty says ok I might still buy one.

Honestly for $30k there's no way I would buy any Subie over a Mazda CX-5. I can get an AWD Touring CX-5 with the special value package and still come in under $31k including destination. Much nicer interior and exterior styling (subjective I'll admit) and better quality. Mazda is rated #1 overall for quality by Consumer Reports for 2020, yes even over Toyota and Lexus. And if I have about $5k more to spend I can move up to a Grand Touring with an even plusher interior.

The tailgate maximum opening height is a great reason to buy something else! The max height is pathetic. The seats are also very narrow if you have a fat arse.

The seats are not comfortable...it is very quirky...the odd duck.

Drove Subaru ( all models ) for over 20 years. All were manual sports models, and would not consider anything with that crazy auto box

X-mode is designed to cut out at 17 mph and the CVT ruins this brand for reliability and off road conditions. If they still made one like our 2005 or 2011, with a real transmission, we would buy another.

Tesla + $30K

Two reasons not to buy... CVT and head gasket.

Needs a darker dimmable rear view mirror. Auto door lock button is aggravating because it's not illuminated in the dark. Needs an LED on the overhead lights so you can easily figure out which one you left on manually . Serious lack of accessories available like a decent size booger bar brush guard so you can mount off-road lights. Seat belt alarm aggravating cuz it never shuts up. Don't like the feminist door locks you should be able to override that. Would like to have seen a tighter piston ring to cylinder wall relationship oil dirties too quickly when compared with such as Toyota. Inside door grip should be redesigned to make coins easily to get out of or there should be a coin tray. Lack of enough cup holders. Do like the companies Pro pet advertising. Would prefer switchable four-wheel drive option. not crazy about all wheel drive with such a poor tolerance for different tire wear diameter. Local dealer trying to hustle me for a brake fluid flush at the 20,000 mile and injector cleaning. Seems absurd at 20,000 miles. Perhaps Subaru needs to watch its dealer behavior more closely. That's all for now.

No for CVT/TURBO SHOULD BE STANDARD ANYTHING ELSE BANDAID

Toyota RAV4 adventure/trail/TRD smokes the Subaru. Much better transmission and much better torque vectoring live axle.

no thanks! they will have to pry my 2004 Outback with a LSD rear end out of my cold dead hands A new one With a CVT transmission? No way Jose!

I like the outback better the subaru forester just looks fat

Forester made in Japan. Japanese cars made in Japan are great ,made in USA poor.

No 2.4 XT never a purchase of Forester...

180hp 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 CVT Woaaaahhh watch OUT guys. 😂😂😂 what a waste of money. It’s ugly too

There are MUCH better vehicles available in a similar price range.

There are more reasons not to buy this ugly looking crossover...Guess spending too much on marketing efforts than investing on exterior styling is doing the trick for Subaru..Doesnt motivate to own one.

Terrible accent for a Bostonian

5 reasons you should NOT buy a Subaru Outback: 1) CVT 2) CVT 3) CVT 4) CVT 5) CVT
