Why it stands out
The 2016 Subaru Forester distinguishes itself in the competitive compact crossover segment primarily due to its focus on practicality and safety. One of the most noticeable enhancements for this model year is the introduction of a new touchscreen interface, which modernizes the vehicle's tech offerings and enhances overall user experience. Performance-wise, the Forester boasts a 2.5-liter boxer engine that provides a balanced mix of power and fuel efficiency, achieving a competitive EPA estimate of 27 mpg combined with the continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Its symmetrical all-wheel drive system ensures superior handling and traction, especially in challenging weather conditions, making it a popular choice among drivers in areas prone to snow and rain. With a spacious interior providing nearly 70 cubic feet of storage space, along with a reputation for reliability and safety—marked by its nearly perfect safety scores—the Forester appeals to families and outdoor enthusiasts alike. However, some owners have reported concerns regarding the responsiveness of the touchscreen and CVT performance during acceleration, which could be considerations for potential buyers.

We love our new/used. Subaru Forester. We loved our Subaru Impreza, but it ha d done it’s duty. Trading it in for the Forester is wonderful. We know we can relay on Subaru’s amazing all wheel drive to easily and confidently drive in the winter. We really appreciate having a bit more cargo space for long car camping trips. Love our new Subaru!

This car was just what I was looking for. I love the sun roof. The all wheel drive and the way the car floats down the freeway. Plenty of power. Great gas mileage. Automatic lift gate at the touch of a button.

Good features, too many miles for the price. Would have taken a look for less $$$

A feature-rich vehicle with an excellent safety profile. Recommended, but close attention to service records is crucial. A prime weakness is in the durability of the touch screen.
