Thanks. These are so helpful -- I'm replacing an '03. Except ... Subarus are never replaced; they're merely succeeded. Oh, the stories our cars could tell ... Like driving my '03 home from work for the first time ... in a sleet storm, natch ... and watching a Hummer fishtail on the interstate in front of me. I tried not to gloat, but my car held the road like a little Velcro tank!

Alex-your tutorials helped us buy a 2022 Subaru Forester Touring. We are both in our 80's and lifetime buyer of GM cars and vans. It was a long 6 month wait for a delivery but worth the wait. We find the safety systems outstanding and in some cases hilarious. While having guests in the back seat, the monitor on the dash kept giving me "pay attention" shout outs. We discovered that one guest kept looking between the seats and the system got confused between his eye movement and mine. I suggested he was just ugly...lots of laughter all around. I am still trying to find a way to view engine temperatures and oil pressures ( a GM holdover). If you have a hint it will be appreciated. You missed your calling as a professor. Great videos.

Thanks Brian! Happy to hear they have been helpful and that you and your family are enjoying your Forester! The Touring trim has a center multi-function display just above the touch screen radio where you can access the engine temp. To access, just clock the "info" button on the left hand side of your steering wheel until you get to the display that shows the temp gauge. Hope this helps! Let me know if you still have trouble finding it.

You have given me so much useful information it’s unbelievable. These videos are so good and so useful I would recommend them to anyone who owns a Subaru. The dealerships should offer the information that you are available. I just wanted to thank you so much. I love my Subaru…Don’t get me wrong, but really, I feel like you need a college course to learn all the features in this vehicle.😊 once again, thank you so much for all your useful information. For instance, one year later and you just taught me how do I unlock all the doors at the same time. Silly but true the things we learn from you. Thank you so much.👍

I had just commented on an later video that you did but it did not explain a lot about the Forrester. So I went back and found this video and it explained a lot. So I believe my problems with the cruise control could be I am trying to put in a speed that won’t work because the car ahead of me is not going fast enough. So next time I get on the freeway I’m gonna try the cruise control and make sure I do that without a car ahead of me when I set the speed. You did an excellent explanation of all the controls in the Forrester. So I don’t believe you need to do any further explanation so far. I definitely will let you know if I still have difficulty with the cruise control once I get out on the freeway next time. Thank you so much Alex. I definitely want to be able to use all the controls in the car especially with putting so much money into it every month. Have a happy holidays as I’m posting it it’s the day before Thanksgiving 2021.

My sister just got a 2021 Subaru Forrester. She’s 81 years old and apparently has not been turning the car off properly and so her battery keeps running down. Could you do a short tutorial on how to make sure your car is completely off properly. That would absolutely be wonderful, your tutorials are marvelous. (I only wish you would zoom in on what you’re talking about a little bit more) Other than that, they are absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for your time and effort

Thank you Alex for another excellent video! I do have a question about the description of Xmode at approx. 15:30. My understanding is that the Forester’s awd system in standard or default mode shifts power from the wheels without traction to those that have it. I thought that Xmode is more for getting unstuck or avoiding getting stuck in snow , sand, or mud by actually turning off that diverting of power from one wheel to another allowing all the wheels to spin more freely. I have a Forester Wilderness with 2 Xmodes, but I think the same thing applies. A recent Driving Sports TV video and subsequent discussion covered this. The Forester standard or default awd was said to be best for hard slippery surfaces, whereas X mode was best for not being stuck in snow, mud, or sand. Please let me know if I’ve got that right?
