4.1 Overall rating
(13 reviews)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.
It’s a smooth ride and one of the safest vehicles. It is spacious on the inside and feels like a nice and fancy car without being too high tech or sports car-like. Great space for cargo too! Highly recommend!
