Any size wheel can accommodate a tire size to your liking. Larger wheels means less rubber for the same tire diameter, which means more likely a flat when hitting potholes/curbs. Smaller wheels are better in that regard.

Enjoyed your videos. I drive a 7-8 year old Subaru Outback. I really like that it has auto-dimming rear view mirrors (optional). They make driving at night a lot better, without getting glares. This option is something that most cars in the price range don't even offer. A lot new luxury vehicles offer the feature only on drive side mirror. I think you should consider in your feature comparison. :-)

Leased a Subaru and it was be my last. 2019 Subaru Legacy with oil consumption issues. They refused to do an oil consumption test and just did free oil changes until my lease was over. The service manager literally said they are not allowed to do oil consumption test unless it’s severe. Mine was burning about a quart every two weeks. I wonder what severe was!?!?! Toyota all day. Now own a 2022 Camry Hybrid LE and it’s great.

I’m on the same exact boat. For weeks I’ve been obsessing and reading everything about hybrids to educate myself. My spouse has a wilderness. I loved it but boy the mpg SUCK. I tested both the hybrid RAV4 2024 and the Forester 2025. I event rented the RAV4 hybrid SE for a full day. I’ll say: I started leaning much more on the hybrid than the Subaru because of the insane amount of mileage people can put in that car and saving on gas would be incredible. However I keep coming back to the Forster. My plan? Get the Forester 2025, keep it for 5 years and hopefully they the Forester hybrid ❤

@@stephenrosenfeld833 Yup. I got the Forester XT back in 2014, and am struggling to find a suitable replacement. I could live with the lesser acceleration of a RAV4, but the lack of content at the price point is a trade-off. But yeah, this Forester is barely adequate on power. You really feel it once you get over about 50 mph, then it just has no punch. FYI, the Forester Wilderness uses different gearing (same 2.5 engine though), which gives it better acceleration (at the price of mpg). But that suspension/wheel/tire combo felt too mushy vs the other trim levels. Not worth it if you don't off-road or need your roof rack to carry a 700 lb static load. I think the Outback Wilderness has gearing that makes it quicker than the other XT Outbacks too. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on the '24 Touring Forester, which is being offered for pretty good prices, but I just couldn't see myself being happy with the gutless drivetrain. Back to the drawing board on the car search. Kind of hesitant to jump into a new RAV 4, because I'm seeing that the '25 model year will be all new. Ditto the CX-5 over in Mazda world. Subaru drivetrain engineers need to burn some midnight oil to get the hybrid coming soon.

I test drove the new model rav4 when it came out and at 5'11" it felt a little cramped up front, I did think the camera in the mirror was cool though. On the other hand I've driven a newer model Forester recently and it is super roomy up front, both with head room and the distance the wind shield is away from the driver. It reminded me a lot of the 2005 Scion xB I used to own. I currently own a 2017 Outback and it feels just right.

Being a 6 times Subaru's owner, my next will not be Subaru anymore. Main reason is in my country, dealer are not bringing in any turbo model but all the boring and NA model. My next likely will be Hybrid and there's only 1 Hybrid king in the market and that is Toyota. Another reason is Subaru seems to ditch turbo variant. I'm not sure why there's no turbo model for Forester but they bring it back to Outback.

Conventional engine (ICE) is better compared to Hybrid like almost all cars nowadays. Nothing to worry about if look after it and change the oil periodically without fail. Less fuel consumptions for Hybrid considered nothing if it is time for you to change batteries. Moreover service charges for repair, cost you a lot more than the conventional engine!!!

Personally I'd go with Forrester... I prefer its looks more than the softer Toyota look they've been doing for a long time, and its a bit more cramped in the driver seat from what I've experienced. I debate on going hybrid....sure you get more HP and you save on some maintance and gas, but you kind of kick the costs down the line for when the battery or e-cvt needs fixing down the line - basically looking at traditional transmission repair costs. Subaru's are pretty reliable and have better saftey and real AWD. Not a beast fort sure, but the additional maintancese and gas use does hurt it. But you will get more bang for your buck and their interest rate is way lower than Toyota's lately who don't care if you walk out the door lately.. Its a tough call and you can't go wrong with either. It comes down to preferences really

Also take in mind what vibes your local dealership is giving out? Did they hold down prices when the Covid things was in swing? Is the service department good enough? Does the sales team feel pushy -- fast talkers? Do people buy the same car or brand again? Toyota has loyalty, but we hear of discontent about the RAV4. OK that may be common place as well. In real life safety, the RAV4 AWD is doing well, and the 2WD OK, but the Forester is pretty consistent every year as a top score with Insurance claims and does pretty good with Death Rate in Cars data, though the top pick in actually the Outback --- tops in safety. Looks wise and power to weight wise, the CrossTrek looks like a good choice? If driven on the highway and in town more, which to buy??? I looked at the Mazda CX-5 some time back, but the A pillars seemed fat to me, and/or in the wrong position for my height and seat position, perhaps, to see out properly. Do others find CX-5 sightline lacking? Otherwise -- cool car!

You are aware the Subaru is a CVT. The Subaru CVT is a 100k to 125K mile Transmission. The Rav four is a 250k to 300k transmission. The Subi trans axle is double the rebuild or replacement cost. The car can become instantly worthless at 100k miles. As long as Subaru offers ONLY CVT by their choice, I will consider them junk.

I would go with the 2025 Forester, if Subaru comes out in late 25 or 2026 using a "Toyota" Hybrid System, this will be a RAV4 killer!

Great video. The problem with Hybrid that people don't take into account is the cost of the car + ownership time. The only way you're breaking even on your money with Hybrids is if you own the car for about 7 - 10 years depending on which year you got it. I always feel this should be addressed. I just wish Toyota would update their RAV 4 design. I personally think it's just outdated and the interior just feels plastic like to me.

Aren’t most people buying these cars to last? I know I expect to be running my RAV4 for ten years plus, especially given that, here in the UK at least, we get a 10 year warranty so long as it’s serviced by Toyota.

I like almost everything about the Forester better than the Rav4 except for the power and fuel economy. Therefore, I would buy the Rav4 over the Forester until I've had an opportunity to see what the Forester's new hybrid option offers.

We have the Forester hybrid in the UK, fuel consumption and emissions are pretty bad compared to the RAV4 hybrid. It’s a shame because it’s probably a better car over all.

If you compare the two cars on UK websites bear in mind the UK MPG figures will be different to US MPG figures due to the US gallon being different to the Imperial gallon.

I find the Forester has more comfortable seats, better suspension, and with the low center of gravity boxer engine, corners better.

Both are great cars, but different at the same time. This Forester is a new generation, and in my opinion has a better (more "premium" ) interior as well, however the RAV4 is a hybrid option...well..not an easy choice but fuel efficiency aside, I would go to the Forester.
