Why it stands out
The 2021 Subaru Forester stands out in the crowded compact SUV market thanks to its signature all-wheel-drive system, making it an appealing option for those who require a vehicle that can handle various terrains and weather conditions. With a user-friendly interior that boasts above-average cargo space of 35.4 cubic feet with the rear seats up, it edges out competitors like the Honda CR-V and Hyundai Tucson in terms of practicality. Additionally, the Forester's safety credentials are top-notch, as evidenced by its "Top Safety Pick+" award from the IIHS, ensuring peace of mind for families and daily commuters. While it features a notably spacious cabin and excellent outward visibility, it's important to note some criticisms regarding its performance, which some have found to be less than spirited. Overall, the Forester balances functionality and reliability, making it a strong contender for buyers looking for a dependable compact SUV.

Well proportioned, spacious feel (light grey interior and panoramic sunroof). Sufficient power, and SI Drive button provides burst of power for hills, on-ramps, etc. Well balanced liftgate, though a power gate is nice to have (optional).
