Should You Buy a 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid? Thorough Review By A Mechanic

Subaru sales would be stronger if they could find someone to fix their infotainment. I'm looking forward to when they replace it.

This would be a perfect hybrid crossover/wagon vehicle if Subaru didn't insist on using its ancient feeling infotainment with HVAC buried in it. It's insane that the main interface needs to "warm up" before it becomes just barely functional.

I bought this car 2 months ago, have 9,000 miles on it, just finished a 3,500 mile road trip cross country. I absolutely love it. and it didn't struggle to get up the mountains in Northern Arizona.

I like the fact that this car is still Made in Japan.

Love how Toyota and Subaru are working together once again.

I just wish Subaru would hired some exterior stylist to make their cars look even somewhat attractive.

I bought one last week. I couldn’t be happier!! The Visibility is the number one reason I bought it. But now it’s all about the ride. Best Car I have ever drove!!! The infotainment center doesn’t bother me at all. I had a Mazda and it was much worse.

The thing that really bothers me about it is that the spare tire tub is so clearly there and just empty - which you can see if you pull the foam piece that sits rear of the battery. All that wasted space under the battery and no spare tire in a car that's built to take places where roadside assistance isn't going to help you. I'm a huge Subaru fan, but that's ridiculous.

Really the best way for car reviews to watch and understand the value, cost and where you invest your money on. Not like what we used to watch on youtube. I like 👍🏻

Can't believe Subaru would build an AWD with soft off-road cred, and not include a spare 🤷‍♂️
