    My catalytic converter was under water.. uh.. I mean under warranty...
  • @user-fi7hw3ly4u
    How about someone builds simple cars/trucks again? Who's with me? Screw all this expensive high tech crap!
  • @DeadLoyalist
    I died when the picture came up on screen depicting a person ‘who will never tow anything.’ 😂 amazing….
  • @Bad-Idea-Network
    I work at a Subaru specific shop. Subarus break like any other car but they are cheaper and easier to fix than most other cars. The parts are relatively inexpensive and you can do most of everything in the driveway. The only thing you must do religiously is change the CVT fluid at least every 60k preferably every 30k but most people don’t do that.

    Literally had to choose between a Forester and Rav 4, wanted the Rav 4 bad! But the cost of loaded Forester is the same cost as a base Rav 4. I Love my all black Forester Sport!!
  • @atomatopia1
    Something I’d love in your videos are video chapters! I think they’d make jumping back to a specific part or car a lot easier to do. Love the vid. I’m always surprised at the wealth of auto knowledge you have!

    Scotty would be an excellent orchestra conductor!

    Another thing with the RTV sealant, the new WRX and BRZ/Toyota GR86 have excess sealant applied, which can dislodge and become trapped in the oil pickup tube, reducing oil pressure to the point of it potentially blowing the engine. If you buy a new one of those mentioned models, it's good to get an oil pressure gauge to keep an eye on it. If it goes down at all have the oil pickup tube inspected. Don't just remove the oil pan and check it yourself, it can/will void the warranty.
  • My brother, a mechanic by day, pizza driver at night, put a WRX engine into an Impreza. He got a tune up and special exhaust so it backfired all kinds of popopops which were particularly loud in tunnels. He got special struts, so that the car was extremely low. It handled very well. He was fond of pulling the E brake to get sideways, especially in the snow. With studded tires he did some incredible feats in the steep snowy hills of Pennsylvania. He even spent money to get a custom splitter under the front bumper, which was promptly destroyed. Oh, and the sound of the turbo was glorious!

    Toyota owns 25% of Subaru. On my second Ascent. Zero problems with 100k combined miles. We’ve had 300k+ miles on Subarus.
  • @1papachi
    bruh,. whoever does your editing is awesome man
  • @GibsonBuck
    The Forester is a direct competitor to the RAV4, not the Crosstrek.
  • @gino1876
    I wish standard transmission options would stop decreasing every year.
  • @user-vj2wt7jh7j
    My Subaru WRX STI 2013 has been nothing but problems eats oil like a 2-stroke, and threw a cam belt at 16K miles and needed a new engine. The dealer broke Federal law and didn't want to cover it under warranty because I changed the oil myself. It wasn't even low on oil.
  • About 16 years ago, I had a coworker who wanted to push his Subaru WRX to 1,000HP. He had blown apart 3 or 4 engines in his quest and if I recall had spent tens of thousands. His last engine was somewhere around 800HP. I only rode in it once and we couldn't go very fast as it would grenade the rods. But the #1 thing I remember was you couldn't hear anything inside the car besides the deafening roar of the fuel pump.
  • @dougb3699
    Great video. Thanks for the fabulous review on the Forester. I have a 2023 and life is good.
  • @5610winston
    I got one of the last six-speed Crosstreks, had it eleven months. Every time I park and get out, I say, "I really like this little car."
  • @housepianist
    I’m looking at getting a new Crosstrek to replace my Ford Escape. I’m sure I’ll be happier.
