5 Shocking Downsides of the Subaru Forester in 2026!
Thinking about buying a Subaru Forester? 🚙 Before you make the leap, let’s take a closer look at the hidden drawbacks that Subaru doesn’t always highlight. The Forester has long been praised for its reliability, safety, and all-wheel-drive confidence, but when you dig deeper, the cracks start to show. From lackluster engine performance that leaves you wanting more power on the highway, to outdated infotainment systems that feel years behind the competition, this SUV might not be the perfect match you’ve been told it is.
In this video, we’ll break down five major reasons you should think twice before buying a Subaru Forester in 2025, whether brand-new or used. We’ll talk about disappointing real-world fuel efficiency, frustrating cabin noise that still lingers despite redesigns, and uninspiring interior designs that lag far behind rivals like Mazda and Hyundai. We’ll also discuss why Subaru still refuses to offer its powerful 2.4L turbo engine in the Forester—something that could have completely transformed its performance.
This isn’t about bashing the Forester—it’s about giving you the real-world buyer’s perspective you need before committing to one of the most popular compact SUVs on the market. If you’re weighing your options against competitors like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, or even newer hybrid SUVs, this breakdown will help you make the smartest choice for your money.
