Very comfortable dependable vehicle

Purchased my Subaru Forester new. I like the ease of getting in and out of the car. My previous car was an Accord which was great but not that comfortable for a tall person. This vehicle has been a great purchase. It is versatile and dependable.

Love my car

Great car only complaint is rear break lights go out either on left or right every 3 to 4 months which is rather too oftain.. otherwise it is easy to drive with enough bells and whistles to keep me satisfied.

wonderful car

This was one of the last years that they had the option of a turbo charger. You might get a little less fuel economy but it is worth it. The car performs flawlessly and is a lot of fun to drive.

Simply the Best

Our Forester has been the best car we've ever owned. Couldn't be happier. Will buy a new one when the time is right. Great trade in price.

2016 Subaru Forester 6 speed manual transmission

Overall a solid, good looking, fun to drive car. Time will tell if it’s as reliable as my old Honda, but so far it’s been great. Forester is comfortable, quiet, and fun to drive with the manual transmission.

Great sporty crossover

Great size, very functional, AWD does great on snow and dirt, even with stock tires. 2.0 Turbo has plenty of power,80+K with no major issues. Easy access, doors open wide, panoramic sunroof provides plenty of natural light.

Safe Reliable Vehicle.

I love my Forester! I love driving it and that I am able to bring along my 2 Cairn Terriers in their car seats. I also love that in the spring time I'm able to use my Forester to carry bags of mulch, bark, and plants in the back with the ability to lower down the back seats to create more room for these items. Took a road trip to Sun Valley in 2019 and it was great road trip. Comfortable to drive for me and comfort for mu passenger. This will most likely will be the last vehicle I will own. My BF says it fits me to a tee!

Reliable, fuel=efficient, and affordable

Pros and Cons below mostly sum it up. I was not after a luxurious, car-like driving experience so I wasn’t disappointed. That said, I’d be a little happier if the handling and braking were better than mediocre, but they’re not. Maybe worse, actually. It’s a bit underpowered, but given the handling and braking, that’s probably for the best! Having the manual transmission helps and makes it more enjoyable for a driving enthusiast. Gets great mpg, especially for an SUV. Light towing capacity (1500) and the fairly generous cargo space is somewhat compromised by rear seats that don’t quite fold all the way flat. Road/wind/engine noise are fine around town but grow tiresome on a long trip.

My Forrester

It has been a great car, nice handling for winter weather. AC has not been functioning as of late and $169 to check it out is outrageous price?. I wish I had leather seats! My biggest complaint is the comfort of the seat, not good for long travel. My 2010 Traverse had the best and most comfortable seat, better than my subaru

My Favorite Car Ever

I purchased this barely used in 2016 with 16K miles on it. This is my first Subie. I wanted the Forester because it has a more upright seating position for an old fella like me. I LOVE this car. I live in the mountains of north Idaho at the end of a steep one mile private road. Deep snow? Hah! No problem. It has gone through stuff that would have stranded by 4WD Diesel Pickup. It is peppy, handles well, and gets excellent fuel mileage. IF I ever wear it out (doubtful) I'll get another one.

Our Subaru Forrester

It’s a nice vehicle... I do not like the speakers. I hate the clock...it’s extremely hard to change the time and I hate the screen...it’s tough to read during daylight-hours. Doors are light so they feel a little tinny. Road noise bothers me. Not a quiet interior.

Best car I've ever had. Great maintenance at Bob Moore in Edmond. The Starlink and my Subaru applications are fantastic. So easy to make your appointments and keep up with service schedule. Great running!

Forester

I enjoy this Forester even more than my others as it is wider and taller. It has leather seats and a sunroof which I really enjoy. Love the design and the tremendous visibility.10

Love my Forester

I really do love my Subaru Forester. Reliable, hearty, and great in snow and bad weather. I feel safe in it. This is my second Forester. I had my first one for 14 years and 140,000 miles. I was sorry to part with it, but it was time. I expect to get the same use out of the new one.

Our second Subaru

First we bought an Outback (2016) and liked it so much we replaced our second car with a Forester (2016), and are now quite pleased with both cars! Both cars are reliable on long trips as well as just around townl.
