This is the best demonstration to learn every single thing there is to learn on the vehicle

Great information. I have had my 23 Forester for one week and have been pouring through the instruction books totalling 1000 pages for Australia and I was still confused about some aspects of the vehicles operation until I viewed your informative video! Even though my past working years was in the electronic fields, I am amazed at how complicated a new car is these days, not having bought a new car for 28 years. My first point of enquiry for anything I don't understand about the vehicle in the future, will be your video instead of the instruction book. Thank You.

Thank you for the kind words!

So very thorough! I needed it and got so much out of it. Thanks!

You are the only ONE talk about touring detail ,THANKS

This is the best video I have seen for the 2023 Subaru Forester Touring. I was confused about some of the features until I saw this video. I like the detailed yet simple description of each features. Also appreciate the 'what if' scenarios and how to activate/deactivate certain features depending on your preference. Thank you so much!

Very well done , really did answer all or any questions I have. Have spent a lot time with my salesman so now he can rest assured. 2023 Forester. Thanks😅

Great overview. I now understand the basics of the dashboard. I will have to search for specific questions, but I now feel like I can ask intellegent questions.

Thank you for the walk through. Are you going to publish one fo the 2024 Subaru Forester Touring?

Very thorough. Thank you. The quiet giant. A diamond in the rough. It's seemingly simplistic but it's chock full of greatness. Thought I'd look into the Limited and then decided to see what the Touring offered. I'm impressed with Subaru. I've never had an opinion either way. Now that I'm looking into them I like what I see. I'm still deciding between Subaru and another brand. At this point I think a test drive will have to be the deciding factor.

This is the most thorough thing I’ve ever watched. 😯

This is more information than I have ever received from a sales associate. Thank you and well done, sir✊🏽

Great review, have now a better understanding of all the features on my 2022 forester, 😊 Brian

SOOO glad I found this. I bought a 24 Forester Sport last week and I was on info overload from the purchasing papers before we got around to going through the dash lessons. I re-learned a lot from watching your video and I'm probably going to watch it a half dozen more times before I feel like I know what I'm doing when I start pushing buttons. I had completely forgotten what the AVH button did. I'll try that today. My trade in was an 09 Vibe with a 5-speed manual, crank windows and manual door locks but only 80K miles. The only tech features on that car were mirror adjustments, ABS brakes and a CD player. I'm going to miss the CD player.

I traded in a 2017 Forester Touring and thought I had a handle on the operation. There is so much more technology with the 2023. This was a great tutorial , but I can see me coming back to it many times. Great job!

One of the best demonstrations I have watched. My dealer offers an hour help session after having the car 2 weeks. After watching your video I feel prepared with my questions. Love my car so far. Thank you!

Great demo video

Awesome video. We actually bought a 2024 Ascent which needed a minor fix and we were given a 2023 Forester Touring loaner car. The manuals were all sealed and I had no clue what the road light with the snowflake meant. I was concerned I hit something when I left the dealership I shouldn’t have. Your video covered in perfect. I’ll make sure I look to see if you have one on our Ascent.

Great video!

Thanks for the info!

Awesome.....thank you very much...now, i am not so intimidated anymore

Just bought the touring edition. Quiet impressed with it so far. Not so much with the 40 grand price. Your video is very helpful with better understand this thing and all its features. I can now see that becoming fully familiar with it will take some time. One suggestion, clean up your demo car before showing it. Thanks so much for your video.

That's not a demo car. That's a brand new Forester. We literally just finished plowing the lots and putting cars back from plowing. Can't clean them after every test drive when it's negative degree weather. Congrats on your new ride, though! I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years and many many miles!

Hi thanks for the video. Is it possible to install A front camera?

Thank you! Very helpful! Now all I need to know is how to set the memory function on the power seat?

@howtosubaru

Жыл бұрын

Press and hold the set button. While holding set, press and hold the number you want the seat position programed to until it beeps.

I really want a front 180 camera. It comes on the wilderness but not the touring I guess. Cab one be added reasonably priced?

Very informative, by the way I stick the small blind spot side mirror on both sides, does it effect anything? Thanks

Stuck between this touring Subaru and a RAV4 Trail looking at both the 2024 models. Any comparison between those two?

Very helpful and thorough. Can this car be started remotely? Do you have a video about that question or do you need a special key file?

@howtosubaru

There are two options for remote start. One is basic remote start being installed by your dealer. It's a single button remote. The other option is the subscription based services that allows you to start the car from your phone, set the temperature when you start it, and even turn on the rear defrost.

@@howtosubaru Thanks! I wonder how expensive it is to have it installed. My car is usually garaged overnight, but it seems like a great convenience in very cold or very hot weather to start the car and warm it up or cool it down. BTW, I agree with someone who posted below. I was lost about many of the functions and features until seeing this video!

@cherylbluestone if you have a newer model (2019 or newer) with push button start, the remote start from your phone is available. If you live in Massachusetts, however, it is not available due to local laws.

2021 Subaru forester. How do you keep the headlights from coming on when the switch is in the off position? Off means no lights! Auto is for automatic operation!

More stuff there is, the more that will eventually fail in 10 years or more.... Wish they made them like they used to...

I clicked some button on my subaru forrester 2023 and now the external mirrors do not fold upon locking. How do i get it to work? Thanks

Can you fit a 29 inch bike inside without taking the front wheel off, given the overall length of the Forester is similar to that of the Crosstrek?

@mikemunster

If you can fit it in a Crosstrek, you can definitely fit it in a Forester.

Very thorough. No wireless charger though. Subaru needs a plug in Hybrid Forester. It will will over Toyota.

How about the headlamp spray cleaner??

I Love my 19 Forester Touring with the saddle Brown interior. In the spring of 24 Subaru is coming out with the redesigned 2025 Forester available with the Rav / Venza hybrid system. It should have 209hp and get 37mpg city. I’ll then sell my 19 and buy a new hybrid.

You're not showing some of the controls you are describing

Which is the sound system- kordon???

Both the Limited with the Navigation upgrade and the Touring have the Harmon Kardon sound system.

I see that yours has the 33 year old depressing grey (and the death black), which became popular in 1990. 🤮🤮🤮. I’ve had several compliments on my Saddle Brown Leather interior. Those puky grey and black interiors have been forced down everyone’s throats for more than 1/2 my life. We REFUSE to buy another vehicle with those dark, drab, depressing, boring interior colors.

I'd pay money to have my driver focus feature removed....lol The most annoying feature on this car.

@gncc600 but then you wouldn't get an insurance discount. Same reason auto start stop always defaults to on, and forward collision prevention defaults to on. You get lower premiums for the eyesight, and auto start stop is required to pass California emissions standard. So, they default to on to be most effective.
