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.
-
Im going to say this in every comparison. Bigger wheels is not a benefit. Higher tire cost, worse ride and lower fuel economy.
-
YOU NEVER TALK ABOUT THE SAFETY , SUBARU HAVE THE FIRST PLACE 🥇.
-
Test drove both 2024 editions and I went with the Forester 🙌
-
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. :-)

A comparison on a Saturday, we’re getting spoiled, great video!!
-
Forester all day, every day.
-
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..
-
Great review. Just discovered Car Confections and I will be returning as I compare cars. Well done.

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 don’t know but my forester pulled rav4 and crv out of snow in Minnesota in past two years.
-
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.
-
One caregory you omitted was safety. Check the IIHS ratings.
-
I’m very happy with my 2024 RAV4 hybrid Limited here in NZ - haven’t seen the new Forester but as a past owner of 2 Foresters, I know they’re good. Hybrid system in Rav is great - I’m averaging 5.5 L/100
-
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.
-
Please make the decibel measurement during acceleration also.
-
You should include glove box storage along with console storage.
-
For the price point, Subaru > Toyota. I had the 2022 RAV4 Hybrid XSE and it felt cheap with the road noise, fake leather, cheap interior, bland sound system, and finicky rear lift gate. $40k is much better spent on the Subaru!
