Maverick AWD Hybrid vs. Subaru Forester

[Gonzo chris]

Not much competes with Subaru, offroad.

Yeah my wife had a Subaru Forester years ago and I drove it to work once in the snow and ice and it handled way better than my f250 work truck I hopped in once I got there. Couldn't believe it.

This you tuber has reviewed both the maverick and the forester. If you go to his videos and search you will find the vids.

My impression is that they are both reasonably capable AWD videos but not true off roaders which would suit you based on what you said. My personal experience is that the interior of the forester has better build quality.

My wife is seriously considering getting a 24 forester because she likes the visibility, driving posture and interior design/layout with manual controls. The 25 is an abortion with a giant screen which we don't want.

I'd say go test drive a maverick and consider if you need the utility of the bed. I really like mine with a hard tonneau which turns the bed into a gigantic but slightly leaky trunk and have used it for trucky stuff like moving furniture and hauling mulch.
