Forester the better buy???

[TJconvert2.7]

Am I being trolled???

Myers, the forester is hands down the better buy than the Bronco SPORT and the Jeep Renegade.

8.7” of ground clearance which is more than a TJ wrangler, benchmark awd system. Japanese. “Technically suv roof height”.

Truly special territory, get the Forester XT!

and there is a new wilderness edition coming out for 22 or 23 which is basically going to be a TRD Off Road

Just read the Edmunds article, Ford Bronco Sport vs. Subaru Forester: Which Is Better? https://www.edmunds.com/car-news/ford-bronco-sport-vs-subaru-forester-which-is-better.html

Surprised to read they thought the Subaru was the better buy. I guess I get it. The Subaru is better, but not as new and fun.

The Escape AWD was a better buy for us. Ridiculously good lease rate and had every feature we wanted. It is much smoother on regular roads than either the Sport or the Subaru.

Seems like they picked the Forester because it's mediocre, unassuming, and cheap. Odd article.

No, it’s catering to the sad state of Hardo Americans who are all about image. Like this message if you will be sitting on a phone book inside your Sasquatch. All fun in games til you have to hop out on ice and eat shit.

Nah, only people who live in Boulder, Colorado drive Foresters. Subaru should be the mascot for the town.

Or Vermont.

Or Vermont.

Or the Pioneer Valley in Western Massachusetts.

A Forester joined us for our Trail Meetup and it did pretty well but slipped far more on certain sections! Also, he had to be in AWD full time, while we handled majority on 2wd

I think after he wanted to upgrade to the Bronco Sport

Nice wording. He “had to be in Awd while you were in 2wd”.
No, it’s full time awd so he literally had no choice.

Look how huge this thing is, that’s not a 12oz kids, that’s a SIXTEEN!!

does your Bronco sport have gorgeous Saddle Brown leather and Harmon Karden? No? Didn’t THINK so!

you should see how popular I am in Provincetown

Did Subaru fix the notorious head gasket issue?

Yes.

Article is comparing a crossover to a mid-size suv therefore the question "Which is better" is pointless. Sounds like a Subaru loyalists writing to justify keeping their Forester.

I parked my forester in front of a Bronco sport to take pics of different Ford colors for this website, they’re basically the same size.

Probably is the better buy, the Sport doesn't appeal to me but I had a Forrester when they first rolled off the boat. Haven't shopped Subaru in quite awhile, but they're more than capable to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it on the road which, tbh, is where most of the Sports (and big Broncos) will be spending their time.

I just got a used Subie Forester with manual tranny to tide me over til my full size Bronco is here. The darn thing reminds me of my old Volvo's 240 and 142. It is dorky but very functional. Open cabin. My wife hates it ha ha. The Bronco Sport is def more rugged. The new Ford Escape redesign is aimed at the Forester, as is the Chevy Trailblazer. Those would be the better comparison.

You can't disable AWD on the sport, so the difference is semantics.

They're both unibody crossovers.

The Forester is 10" longer with 33% more interior volume. It's not the same size.

This guy does more off roading than most, in a Scoobie Doo (until it got totaled):
