The new 2025 Forester is Beautiful! Since I have had many Foresters and one Outback, I am sticking to the Forester!!!!
-
Toyota's hybrid system's cost performance remains remarkably strong. Subaru's upcoming hybrid will also use the Toyota system, so we're looking forward to it.
-
YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY , SUBARU HAVE THE FIRST PLACE 🥇.
-
Im going to say this in every comparison. Bigger wheels is not a benefit. Higher tire cost, worse ride and lower fuel economy.
-
Test drove both 2024 editions and I went with the Forester 🙌
-
A comparison on a Saturday, we’re getting spoiled, great video!!
-
I don’t know but my forester pulled rav4 and crv out of snow in Minnesota in past two years.
-
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. :-)

Great review. Just discovered Car Confections and I will be returning as I compare cars. Well done.
-
Amazing job on your site with all the info. When I researched with my insurance company one car I was looking at was half as much as another same class car for yearly insurance. Be interesting to list this and factor that in also.
-
We have both. The forester is much easier to get in and out for older less flexible people. The RAV has more power ,better fuel injection system and is more fuel efficient.
-
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.
-
Although the Forester has a larger infotainment display, it’s arguable the usable viewable area is smaller for maps as it’s in portrait mode, and parts of the screen is permanently dedicated to HVAC controls.
-
You should include glove box storage along with console storage.
-
Please make the decibel measurement during acceleration also.
-
One caregory you omitted was safety. Check the IIHS ratings.
-
5yr+ old design of the rav4 is still going strong..even compared to redesigned/refreshed models..that speaks volume on how good the rav4 is..
-
Thanks for the great reviews! I just bought a 2024 Subaru Forester Touring, as I kind of like the features over the new 2025. Please do a sound test locally so we can get a comparison. Also, on your "sound test chart" you have a smile rating....what is the basis???
-
Wish they could’ve compared this with the Limited RAV4 since it would also be the highest trim level.
