hey what's up everybody welcome to car question matt is riding the subaru forester you probably
already saw what we think about that machine because you were there in 2019 when we went
to japan and tested that brand new redesign with the x-mode 2.0 with the sport version and yes the
forester today has little evolved since i think subaru's a little bit behind when you check the
interior how about the styling probably the same thing also i don't dislike it there's
good attack angle the great ground clearance how about in the rear also and that little forester
is quite capable though but i kind of miss an interior which really shows some assignment of
improvement when you look at the cluster ear a lot of competition just went digital how about
the center console here i recognize some button in the year 2002 and when i also checked some plastic
there is a lot of that inside the subaru forester and there is something that i cannot believe that
they did how about the fog lights you've got the led lights but the fog lights are simple halogen
it's the same thing also inside if you turn on any lights you're gonna see led up in front and you're
gonna see some pretty whole style of color in the rear when i open the door just like that geez
that cannot be done you need to go full head or simply use the old stuff but at the price
that those little lamps cost today subaru needs to evolve how about that famous all-wheel drive
system well we tested it it's still good but when you check the competition when you check
where the others are geez that bronco sport was real aggressive so subaru bragged for a long time
to have one of the best all-wheel drive system yes it's not that bad but when you go with the
thruster it's 60 40 and you've got that x mode reaction time is not that great when you compare
to the best of the segment if you want to tell everybody that you're the best you need to step
up that game and i told that to the engineer back in japan xmode is not that bad it's going to be
great but they need to add some extreme x mode mod to make sure that the wheel that will slip will
simply be stopped and then boom you will be able to climb whatever you want or simply come back
with that limited slip in the rear you know that good old mechanical thing it's robust
it's reliable it's what made the subaru back then and i kind of missed those old days you had a lot
of question how about a rust well there's a big warranty of 60 000 kilometer enter the sixth month
it's a little bit less versus a competition but every mac to factory is kind of cutting those
kind of warranty over time there's been a recall in 2014 about some brake line that rusted pretty
quickly so you need to make sure that if you have an old forester to check that out but otherwise
it's only about maintenance it's only about when you're gonna clean your car are you gonna
go off-road and simply let your car get dirty and simply put it back in the parking underground well
that's not gonna be good for us it's gonna be appearing really really fast if you do that
so try to maintain a little bit your car add some great aesthetic car care product and you're gonna
be sure that it won't rust over time a lot of viewers also asked us is subaru late when it comes
to technology well not really we're right there on target with the others you've got that eyesight
system which is kind of base you've got that adaptative cruise control pre-collision braking
how about pre-collision throttle management lane keep assist you've got those blind spot
monitoring system the rav which is going to stop the car if you do a reverse maneuver and you don't
see something you've got that all-wheel drive system you've got apple carplay and renault but
not wireless though ooh and it's sometimes when you look at the car that you think that
it didn't really evolve and that's kind of sad you've got the starling subaru system
on which you're going to be able to do a tons of thing but hyundai is right there also with its
application how about some competition you know the broncos port with the bada version will have
some camera where you will see clearly where your tires are rolling off-road the bad end will offer
a double clutch a limited slip at rear differential which is going to be
great for off-roading and the crv will also add an avas system if you're rolling below 36 kilometers
you've got nissan with apple carplay and android auto but wireless you've got the toyota rav4 which
will offer some hybrid version and some private version so are we really in the back of the lineup
no but style talking maybe though really ability is it a better than what it used to be well if you
go with 2014 and less oh you're gonna have a lot of problem those engine those knocking but since
2015 they are better than what they used to be so the future for the forester though um that's
a good question because at the time that we did that video we saw the sol terra you know that ev
vehicle from subaru i don't know if you're gonna check that video a few years later then we film it
but still that salty rare will probably mean that it's gonna be a big challenge for the forester
to stay in the lineup i don't know but one thing is sure feel free to comment in the section down
there below do a thumbs up subscribe and tell me what do you think of the subaru forester take care
