One of my favorite jokes that my grandfather used to tell was, “Subaru spelled backwards is UR A BUS.” He might have repeated that joke too often, but back in the day, when Subaru was a distinctly off-brand machine (before it became the de facto symbolic car of Seattle, Portland and Boulder), it was pretty funny. While you can still tell jokes about Subarus, the brand itself is no longer a joke. And the 2025 Subaru Forester, which will begin to arrive at dealerships at the end of May 2024, is a seriously good car, particularly if you take it off-road.

Subaru has sold more than 2.7 million Foresters since they first debuted the car in 1997. This is the sixth generation of the auto, and it finds itself competing with some of the most popular vehicles in the U.S., including the Toyota RAV-4 and the Honda CRV. In terms of pricing and all-wheel drive capability, the Forester is more than competitive. It’s superior in a lot of ways.
