Summary
With 2,946 currently listed for sale and an average price of $16,736.00, 34.6% of 2018 Subaru Foresters for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Subaru Forester 4.75 / 5 stars.
71.4% of 2018 Forester models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact SUV that leans hard into the qualities many used buyers want most: space, visibility, and all-weather confidence. In this generation, Subaru had already built in a stronger focus on comfort, safety, and efficiency, and the Forester’s larger body and taller passenger compartment helped create a roomy cabin with excellent outward visibility. Standard symmetrical all-wheel drive also gives it a clear identity, making it especially appealing to drivers who want a dependable SUV for bad weather or light adventure use.
What makes the 2018 model especially attractive is how well it balances everyday usefulness with a fairly refined driving experience. The Forester’s safety story is a major part of its appeal, since EyeSight was standard on all models by this year. Buyers also benefit from the generation’s improved ride, stability, and handling, along with the added practicality of a large cargo area. At the same time, it is not the most exciting SUV to drive, and the CVT can feel sluggish, so shoppers looking for strong acceleration may want to temper expectations.
Even so, the 2018 Subaru Forester remains easy to recommend for buyers who value comfort and utility over flash. Its reputation for reliability and practicality, combined with standard AWD and a spacious, user-friendly cabin, gives it broad appeal as a used family vehicle. For many shoppers, that straightforward competence is exactly what makes it distinctive.

The features on this crossover are never ending! The ride is as smooth as butter! The turbo engine makes you forget it's a V4! To find an eight year old Forester with under 41,000 miles was a blessing & I expect to have it for another 11 to 15 years!

LOVE my new 2018 Subaru Outback! I was shocked to see how roomy it is...Im 511 & my husband is 65 and our long legs can very comfortably stretch out in the front. My husband can even fit comfortably in the back! I also love the heated front seats...great for my achy back. Love the steerling wheel controls...easy to navigate. Love the brake assist & lane assist. The brake assist has already helped keep from rear-ending someone who stopped short in front of me! I wasnt considering an Outback when searching for a new car, but Im sooooo happy I listened to my sister (who has loved her Outback for the past 8 years & who is 62...also needs a lot of room) and test drove some. The standard safety features & super roomy interior really make me feel like this was the perfect car for me & my family.

I’ve only been driving the car for a few days but I love it so much! Drives smooth, technology is easy to use, safety features are a godsend. Can’t say enough good things.

Very nice comfortable seating. Lots of leg room, user friendly operations and knob/button placement. Interior lighting and dashboard are excellent, very nice sound system, Car sits higher than older Foresters which is great, feels solid and sturdy like a luxury suv. Large moonroof, very powerful cold a/c, smooth mostly quiet ride, extra large rear cargo space and push button close hatch is awesome. Back up camera and lane keeper features very helpful. Only negative is no a/c vents for backseat passengers.
