2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium in depth (owner) Review & walk through

This is a review of the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i Premium which my wife and I recently purchased. We were looking for something a little bigger than a mid size sedan but not as big as a full SUV. For myself if I was going to be the driver of this type of car I wanted AWD and something that did not look like a mommy van. For us the Subaru Forester fit the bill. There are a lot of reasons why we picked the Subaru Forester over other CUVs and even a reason for the trim level we picked. With any luck this video will help you make a decision if you are thinking about the 2015 Subaru Forester or a Forester in general.

Even tho this is a longer video I still feel that I did not touch on everything that I would have like to. So if there is anything you might want to see covered in more depth please let me know.

Long term look at actual MPG:
