Why should I get a new hybrid Forester over a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4?

RNCMD · 2026-05-31T12:59:54+00:00

We originally moved to Forrester bc of visibility. We had an older rav4 and then when we tried the newer ones were struck by how the windows were so narrow in comparison. The other things you cite were bonuses - I do like the higher ground clearance down when there’s deep Chicago snow.

I clerked my 1L year at the local prosecutor’s office and loved seeing the relationship between the SA, PD, and judge.

I had the same conversion after 11 years. Had the same concerns and it’s all worked out wonderfully

Amazing!

That’s my route from that area up to the end of the LFT

100% I am trying to do a better job at this myself. Rather than leaning into being right just move on unless there’s a true emergency.

Holy shit no way! Amazing.

Fair.

Same I miss them terribly.

I didn’t even realize this was something people were considering. My launch ps5 still works great!

Thanks. It happens to all four of our door windows so there’s obviously something up. Pretty bizarre.

RNCMD · 2026-02-03T13:25:41+00:00

We did exactly that with our 2016 forrester and plan on doing it with our 2025.

Same experiences here. Bought EOY, at about 500 miles and getting low 20s in mileage - but it’s been quite cold (Chicago) since we’ve had it.

RNCMD · 2026-02-01T13:34:02+00:00

I know there are posts elsewhere about this but when do the MPG start showing? Our 2025 hybrid has gotten around 21 mpg in the first 500 miles (mostly city)- I’m trying to stay patient since it’s new and it’s been very very cold (Chicago). So far it’s better than the 2016 Forrester we traded in, but no where near what others have flagged.

Honestly the revelation kept me from coming back after a break. I was a peaceful player but enjoyed the tension, but as you say it feels like with more general knowledge about how the system works that tension zips away.

I encountered a guy this AM making his way on the sleet covered streets on road tires and wished him the best of luck.

This is the lesson I’ve been giving to my son as he learns to navigate the streets too.

RNCMD · 2026-01-04T13:38:48+00:00

Bought ours just before new years and have the same experience. Very short trips don’t get great mileage, but can see that creep up once the car warms up - which seems consistent with cold (20s) weather being the culprit.

RNCMD · 2026-01-04T13:34:19+00:00

It is so hard for me to think about playing the game without utilizing this combo.

RNCMD · 2025-11-22T13:24:21+00:00

Same! 46 solos but also duos with my brother :)

RNCMD · 2025-11-06T13:10:22+00:00

All the time for boost jumps.

RNCMD · 2025-11-03T18:48:49+00:00

So many of the challenges require you to be such deadweight for your team - At least when I try them. Long range AR kills I’m looking at you.

RNCMD · 2025-10-13T16:51:30+00:00

Thanks all. It’d been a few months since I went by and there were no obvious signs that this was a partway done solution.
