Should you buy a '24 Forester Wilderness or WAIT? | $39,000 | 2024 Subaru Forester Wilderness Review 

This was the most comprehensive review I have seen for this model. Thanks for providing this - very informative.

I bought this year's edition to avoid having a full screen and zero physical buttons. Knowing that screen lead times are 4-6 months out (or were), I wanted to get the last year of physical buttons as a precaution. I absolutely love it so far with less than 1k miles still, and Primitive scuff plates! Such a great and beautiful ride!

Thanks for a fair and measured review. I've had a 2023 Forester Wilderness for 15 months now ( current mileage is 14,033). I've never owned a " performance" vehicle, but I find the powertrain, with the Wilderness tuned CVT is more than powerful enough. When I want to leave the traffic in the dirt, I put the CVT in manual mode and use the paddle shifters and believe me I get off the dime mighty quickly. The Sports Plus mode works very well to keep this 3,500 pound baby spiffy, too. I haven't had the chance to really stress the vehicle off road, but others have ( e.g. Sarah-n-tuned), and it beats EVERY crossover out there and is competitive--if not quite as robust--as the Toyota Forerunner. No, I'm not bringing my jewel to MOAB, but then I would never take a vehicle I cared about rock climbing just for the fun of it. Frankly, so far it's an AWESOME car--my favorite of the 36 that I've so far owned in my 76 year old lifetime.

I wish they would have cladded the whole car. I bought my ‘24 wilderness forester on Memorial Day. And a day and a half later it got hit by a hail storm. Got it for a great price though 👍

The Wilderness 2025 is identical to the 2024 Wildnerness. It does not get the 2025 updates.

No USB-C ports on the 2024 model. Will they incorporate them in 2025?

Which Subaru has the turbo engine?

Turbo engines always fail prematurely. Change my mind

much, too much $$$$ for that car
