Rotweiler Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Looking at the Forester as a replacement for out 12 year old Toyota. Would appreciate any comments from owners (past or present). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauptmannUK Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Never actually owned one but sold, serviced, driven lots... What is your reason for considering the car. They are solidly built. Bit thirsty on fuel and I am not a big fan of the Subaru CVT. Main selling point is good offroad/4WD performance. If you don't need to go offroad/4WD then something like a Mazda CX5 is probably a better buy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eezergood Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Had an older model forester GT - LOVED IT, but as mentioned they are thirsty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizader Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I am also looking at the Forester as a family SUV. Dealer is offering THB 200k discount from the showroom price of THB 1.47m for the eyesight model. Have also looked at the new Ford Everest Sport (2wd) at 1.524m with the safety pack. I cant decide between the 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuvoc Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) My sister has a Subaru XV (CrossTrek in America) and I'm really impressed with it. The CVT works very well too. Looks similar to this: Subaru Crosstrek - Wikipedia I'd certainly look favourably at the Forester. Just checked Subaru Thailand website, it seems to be coming here and you can register your interest.

I have a Pajero - had the wife listened to me we would have a Forester, so personally I would take that over an Everest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if you don't need 4wd, maybe not the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
