I have a 2021 & I'm buying out my lease. I've noticed that the cabin temp setting doesn't seem to be working as well. Today was 90 degrees F and I had to crank it. Anyone know if that's some form of sensor issue with the temp sensor or an A/C recharge required?

Bought brand new a 2019 Forester Sport. Left us stranded in the middle of the road 4 times. Back to dealer numerous times. Before 23 k miles had to change the battery, Thermo Control Valve, all 4 tires cracked poor quality. Afraid to drive it!!! Our worst car ever!!!!

I just bought a 2010 today with 120k. Not sure I would have if I seen this first.

@blakelandfair6932 Ай бұрын

I will say the one showcased for the 2013 is actually a 2014. A lot of people seem to get confused but 2013 was the final SH Forester year, not 2012

I was thinking to get 2014 ...😮thanks alot...i appreciate it 💐🇸🇦

2010 Forester had the Ac evaporator changed at 86k miles, other than that regular maintenance, flawless.

I'm about to buy a Forester Touring XT 2016 with 90k miles and I want to know if it's worth it, 20,000 in the dealer is with all its maintenance and everything works, what do Subaru owners think?

@user-ue2rw5yy9d 2 ай бұрын

Ill buy one when they bring back the turbo.

@lxmzhg 18 күн бұрын

Never get a turbo, regardless the car. A turbo shortens the lifespan of the engine as you are putting more strain on the engine.

@Mike_44 Ай бұрын

I had a 1st gen Forester and absolutely loved it. Once you replace the H/G with MLS H/Gs, the engine becomes a tank. From there on it’s just oil changes and wheel bearings.

@EricAbrahamson-xn4hi Ай бұрын

I have a 2010 and have had significant A/C problems. At about 125 k miles now and transmission issues too. Wondering if it's time to move on and stop getting it repaired.

@recurrenTopology Ай бұрын

Yeah the A/C craped out on ours. Cost of repair of high enough that we're just looking to get another car.

I have owned 2018 Forester and after six years, only replaced the battery, in year five, otherwise, just normal maintenance.

I bought one inn CARVANA. While under warranty had fuel tank and evaporator replaced, breaks, calipers and rotors . Major my AC failed , other then that car is good lol

@Jayzilla-jr4fr Ай бұрын

I test drove a new one. I have never driven such a low-powered, gutless car! I had to floor it everywhere just to get going. It seems they only have tiny engines now. Between the hamster wheel engine and the CVT that will certainly not last long, I couldn't buy a Subaru.

@DriftingStudent Ай бұрын

No one listen to this dude he doesn’t know a Toyota from a Nissan… Subarus are amazing cars and there are turbo charged options for the forester they are called Subaru forester XT

@Jayzilla-jr4fr Ай бұрын

@@DriftingStudent They are so amazing that my neighbor is on his 3rd CVT tranny in 4 years with less than 100k miles on his crosstrek. To their credit, Subaru replaced them at no cost, but still. Still, I kinda wanted the Forrester so I did a test drive. Nope, no thanks!

@briangonzalez9115 Ай бұрын

@Jayzilla-jr4fr interesting that he's on his 3rd after 100k miles, mines a 2015 forester with about 145k miles still original cvt transmission and engine. Still going strong too

I have a 2016 Forester XT With 23k, Never had any issues, The OEM battery lasted 5 years, then to Costco. Was at The Subaru dealership and all the 2024/25 Foresters are crap, no chrome on the front grill etc. All plastic trim like garbage GM cars Buy a low mile older Subaru as these new ones suck, go and see for yourself.

@@MorZa85 I have received those emails offering to buy my 2016 around $15K with 45k miles. I paid 35k for it and to think I would sell it for less then half and pretty much in mint condition, I ignore these idiot emails. But from what I can read from these emails you can find a XT for around $14 to 15k, $20k is price gouging walk away, don't rush it
