I have a 2015 Forester and 2023 Outback Wilderness. They both have their benefits. The Forester is more comfortable in the back seat. The Outback is better for travel with a longer cargo area. You also love that Outback’s turbo! Gas mileage is better in the Forester. The Forester has 223,000 km with no major issues and it uses very little oil between oil changes. I would have a hard time picking the next Subaru.
I do like the new Forester, the looks and it has many improvements. There have been some significant price increases with comparable vehicles, especially Honda.
I recommend Subaru to anyone who asks, some people do not seem to be aware of their many benefits from other cars.
