This detailed video of an SUV on the legendary Nurburgring just shows you the pedigree of this Forester. It is by far one of a kind.

GOSH) HELLO MAN))

Pro dude drives my family car on Nurburgring at 180+ and talks like I do on my school run

bought the seemingly last unit of the 2018 XT. great SUV.

Just picked up an identical 2014 XT. This is by far the best vehicle I’ve owned. Love messing with wrx’s and sti’s

I've had my 2014 Forester XT for just over a month now. The selection of drive modes makes it quite the interesting vehicle. Very quick & fun to drive. Took her out on sleet covered roads last weekend & played a bit when no traffic was around. Really have to get on it to make her break loose to lose traction. Nav package is the only negative I have with the XT. Bottom line is I'm 58 years old & have had a lot of vehicles over the years. This XT is the most exciting as it can be very quick, but also the most fuel efficient depending on how you want to drive it.

Robert LeBlanc Kent Heiderich I've had my XT since March, and got 26 MPG on the last tank, with a mix of highway and mostly city driving back and forth to work. I stepped on it hard twice (it's hard to resist), but was pretty easy on the throttle otherwise. After the initial break-in, I got about 21 MPG on a tank in which I stayed on the throttle (and smiled like a little kid) constantly. On purely highway driving, I get 30+ if I keep it to 60 MPH, and about 27-28 if I get up above 75 MPH.

This subaru has an inbelivieble behaviour !! And the driver is excellent !! I love Subaru !!

Yep, the turbo is mounted in the front centre of the engine, not offset to the side, which would call for unequal length headers, which is what causes the rumble

kidding me? I traded in my 370Z for this one because of the potential of the new engine and loading capabilities. The CVT on this new model can handle at least 400 torque. I smoked a genesis the other day with my 2014 forester stock. And it actually has more boost than the new wrx.

I have a 2014 XT Premium...it REALLY flies on the Van Wyck Expressway at 3 in the morning on the way to JFK Airport. Always feel a rush of power and the handling / grip is excellent. Wish I could've tested it out during Hurricane Sandy but I had a Juke AWD at the time which did alright as well. For the ultimate thrill, at 6 in the morning on Saturdays when there is no traffic, get on the entrance to the FDR Drive and drive all the way to the Queensboro bridge..lotsa twists and straightaways.

Why are the horsepower output different in various markets? Due to octane level? Any difference in the internals?

Octane levels mostly, but I think emissions regulativet play a part too. But software is the online difference,the oily bits should be identical.

there is not much SUV that can drive in this circuit.. amazing 180 km/h on corners for a big tall SUV. This is the best among the RAV4, TUCSON, CX5, CRV, TIGUAN, X-TRAIL, ESCAPE etc.. would the MACAN smoke this in the ring ?

The Macan would absolutely smoke it, but it would also cost 50% more for a base Macan S... The CX5 handles better, but can't match the XT turbo engine's output. The rest you mentioned would not stand a chance.

CVT's are excellent on vehicles like this that don't have very high torque. If I am going to buy a vehicle, it will have a manual, CVT, or dual clutch transmission (a PDK I guess, too, but probably won't ever spend that much). CVT's will hopefully completely replace standard automatics.
