2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness Deep Snow Winter Test

No one on YouTube does better real-world winter and mild off-road vehicle testing than Ryan.

The production, analysis and testing are off the charts on this one ! The drone footage just nails it. No one, I repeat no one does a better off road test !

Just picked up a Forester Wilderness this week. Also live in Washington and we've just had a massive amount of snow. It is incredibly fun to drive around and it gives me so much confidence knowing it'll get me anywhere I need to go, no matter the weather. I love it.

Picked up the wilderness 3 weeks ago and recently took a 2100 miles round trip to Ohio where I caught a nice snow storm in West Virigina and man was I impressed with the Wilderness stability and control throughout the entire ride, and lets not forget the comfort.

The new off-road test course is a game changer, especially for testing snow/ice performance. It's also nice to know that the CVT didn't protest with that level of stress being put to it.

You knew you could make the corner and in the end you did. I'm impressed by both the vehicle and your determination

The smile on your face tells me everything I need to know about driving the Forester Wilderness. Great video!

You are actually one of the few that seem to understand the systems in the vehicle that you’re driving. I can’t understand all these other drivers on YouTube who actually engage the most restrictive mode with traction control going up steep inclines in snow and they wonder why the vehicle won’t move. I think you stressed it more than once in this video that the most important thing you need going up a steep hill is momentum and lots of it.👍

I'm very impressed with how Subaru reworked their CVT!

These videos were a huge part of my research and ultimately my choice to purchase a Forester Wilderness. I love it immensely. Keep up the good work!

Leasons from a Californian: Don't get fooled by 1 off tests. I got my subaru outback XT with Yokohama geolanter AT 3 peak rated tires and the thing could not even move a foot forward in 2020-2021 seattle winter. This 2021-2022 winter I got snow tires and was able to scoot around. Tires are 90% of the equation. And a snowy road is easy to drive with any tires on fresh snow, but 1 week in its ice and only snow tires in a Subaru sized car will get you where you need to go safely. Love the channel just informing people like me a year ago when buying a Subaru for Washington mountains. To BUY SNOW TIERS AND CHAINS its worth it.

Absolutely love my 2021 forester, truly fantastic in the snow, and does everything beautifully.

Amazing video Ryan and team! Such great demonstrations regarding the different modes and contrasting those to other vehicles. Definitely made use of all that recent snow in the PNW.

Subaru North America, next year please put in the new 260 Turbo engine and watch your sales go even higher! Great review!

These side-by-side tests are extremely valuable. I feel much smarter and well-informed about both the Subaru and the Maverick's all-wheel-drive systems. Thank you!

This is exactly the review needed for this Forester. Well-done.

Great content! This is the kind of testing that keeps me coming back for more...

Love your content and real-life testing, Ryan! Thanks for bringing it to us!

Wow. Just wow! Amazing detailed video. Fun to watch and I love seeing how honest you are, amazing footage, and also seeing you just having a blast reviewing the car! Subaru also made a solid car there! Great all around

great video Ryan. Good work on keeping a consistent test track & pattern for each vehicle, it gives a much better indication of what they can do.
