SLIP TEST - Subaru Forester S-AWD - III vs IV vs V - SH vs SJ vs SK - @4x4.tests.on.rollers 

Excellent. Thank you for doing this with X-Mode and traction control both on and off.

I love your tests! Please test a Forester SH/SJ with manual transmission!

Супер🎉

Super interesting, from test the SJ gives best results. However i would like to know if difference tire types and pressure. Also i think the age / km lifetime of gearbox etc. But from design i prefer the SH with intercooler air-intake on top.

i think the xmode on the newer subaru dirt mode turns off after going a certain amount of speed. Its supposed to not allow as much wheel spin as the mud mode

The white can do what the Blue can do on the right setting "Deep Snow and Mud". The white which is the 2020 model is more realiable compared to the 2019 model.

Blue one nailed the test! Looks like they reserved that ability to only deep snow mud on the new model. I assıme this would be done to reduce fuel consumption or for better handling?

You have to watch till the end. X-mode made a difference

Надо было ещё вставить сюда SG XT который очень хорошо прошел тест.

👍👍👍

Ciekawy test. Mam niebieskiego, tylko że brązowego. ;-) ...and I love it.

I wonder how Sh forester passed the side roller & diagonal & 3roller tests even though VDC was turned off. As far as i know, this model comes with 4 eat Mpt system with VDC. Maybe there is an electronic differential lock without any relay and switch off button.

I wonder how many folk know the brake and accelerator pedal trick. You can hack a roller test even with a 2WD

I think it would be right to turn on manual mode and test at first gear

The SH may have had a slightly worn center diff.

seems like the car is sliding into the housing of the roller and getting grip there. i could be wrong

Did you Notice difference on SH forester with ABS on / off ?

Blue one had the least drama. I wonder why Subaru made the next gen less aggressive by default.

Soo the SJ has the most aggressive programming.

The SJ is more aggressive AWD program and stiffer suspension. Just wonder why the SK is less in many way?

Какое поколение из них самое лучшее в этом тесте на ваш взгляд?

I´ve been an owner fo a SH Forester and currently own a SJ Forester which I love. However this test was not equilibrated, because I can see that the blue (SJ gen) has some kind of mild off road tires, allowing it to have more grip than the other too. Also, the driver of that same model was way more agressive from the beginning, which is not ideal for this kind of test. He should be accelerating gradually and let the system do its job like the others did.

SJ Forester (blue) got the rest beat, but to be fair I believe it's the XT model which means it has a turbo engine so it has more torque and power, The front bumper gave it away (I own one)
