Overall I like my new 2025…
Overall I like my new 2025 Subaru Forester. There are a couple things that I feel are faulty designs that make me have some buyer's remorse though. The heated seats is one issue as they do not get very warm. A second glaring issue is that there is no cup hole that is big enough for a larger water bottle and that includes the storage areas between the seats and in the doors. You would think that Subaru would know that most outdoors enthusiasts have large water bottles. My final complaint is that I was so excited to have a cordless phone charging platform but it does not work with my Samsung phone. They told me that the camera lens sticks up far enough so that it doesn't sit flat on the surface to charge. You've got to be kidding me because those camera lenses are about 2 mm. Subaru couldn't design a phone charging platform that would work? It is so frustrating to have a feature that is inoperable. To be honest if I had known these things in advance I may have looked at a different vehicle.
