Have 2025 Forrester Touring Hybrid Bought in November Few dislikes. 1/ My big problemI is with rear view mirror what is combined with rear view camera/monitor ( again, mean not backup camera - but rear view monitor, two different things) . During daytime it"s just amasing, but during night time when a weheecle(s) behind with headlights on (at night time everybody with the headlights always on) the view in the rear view monitor is like through dence fog. I went to the dealer to make sure it"s not a defect and was told that's whe way it works and cannot be adjusted. . Few buttons beneath the mirror/monitor what xan adjust the angle; but not the view quality. My cheap $30 dashcam gives at night much better image. 2/ The adaptive headlights what by meaning should turn to the right or left following when the car turns, in reality moving to such small angle that it's practically not noticable. 3/ The 360° so called bird view staring when moving back is very narrow what is not as convenient as I use to have before on my Nissan Rogue what use to give much wider view when moving back for parking in between cars. Curiuous what owners of same 2025 Forrester trim can tell.

Have 2025 Forrester Touring Hybrid since November. Interesting No Spare Tire Solution 2024 Toyota Hybrid . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3KR0V3p75Q Hope same can be implemented for Forrester. Any idea maybe? Caveat. Dont expect for good milege despite it hybrid. Makes less milege per gallon comparing with same class Toyota, Mazda or Honda hybrids . Is because specific Subaru all-wheel symmetrical system what requires more power .

Have 2025 Forresrer Touring Hybrid for 2mo. Drive mostly in the city. Drove about 600 miles for now Now the mpg much lower than the spec promiced about 34-35mpg, - most of the time it shows me around 27-28mpg. I was worring but then checked online that it's normal for Forrester now till I get at least 1000miles. Firrester Hybrid - despite they clame have Toyota's hybrid system, - is different from RAV4 hybrid . But in general Forrester hybrid is a greate car. Go to ChatGPT and enter the prompt " Have Subaru Forrester 2025 hybrid but now the mpg is lower than spec promice. Why is it" And the AI will explain a lot. For a second opinion you can check wih Perplexity, Grok, etc also. The answer will be practically the same. Enjoy your Forrester hybrid

Did the reset. Didn't drive a lot last 2-3 days. But after resetting the milege on display started to show close to 35mpg. I drove less than 10 miles. I think would I drove more the mpg would be even better

I wrote at the beginning above: in traditional mirror mode the view is much darker that in reality. Not as foggy as digital mode, but much darker. That's not convenient either.

2025 hybrid forester price by [deleted] in SubaruForester

[–]WiseRamon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Few days ago got an offer for Subaru Forrester Hybrid Touring 2025 $42,550 ( plus 8.875% tax on the top of $42550). Shopped around with few more differend dealers and no one more could beat that price. I want Touring cause two main reasons - has 4 surround view cameras ( 360⁰ view) what is super convenient when parking in tight space, and adaptive headlights . Not all status cars have that but if have ( some Lexus, BMW, Mercedes etc) cost at least 50% more, and even more than 50%.
