2009 Subaru Forester User Reviews

Toning Down The "sporty Notch" Certainly Paid Off For This Subaru. — Subaru's move to make the Forester more mainstream paid off. Though it's softer and less of a sharp handler than before, it easily makes it up for it with better interior room and cargo space. Though it's basically an Impreza with a crossover body, the Forester suffers from much more "body flex" because of the large standard moon roof.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Like Driving A Tank — It's larger than I first thought, and eats lots of gas. I hope it will be a very good winter driving car for all weather conditions.

Primary Use: Family transportation

Can't Beat It For The Price. Great Vehicle! — Great gas mileage, adequate acceleration, handles great. Would have been nice to have the turbo model and/or an extra gear in the automatic... a 5-speed auto or a manual would be much nicer. Very inexpensive to own, so far. This car does everything I need it to, and is fun to drive. Plus, my wife loves it!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Love It ! — very decent and love the ride, it doese very well on gas, performance is very decent if you not going to race it as its not meant for that. but the best thing about it that you feel like you at home inside and gives the feeling that you want to drive it every single imte you are going out!

Very Safe, Peppy, Economical And Fun To Drive. — Only had it one week. Handles great, is peppy and fun to drive.Great highway milage 30mpg, so so city milage 16 mpg. Car is very nimble, tight and responsive, great off the line and easy to park in the city. The center arm rest could be bigger and more padded, however I just saw that a center armrest extension is available which I intend to order. Best part is what you don't see, best crash tests, structural integrity and every safety feature imaginable, also reflected in a ton of insurance discounts.
