Summary
With 147 currently listed for sale and an average price of $15,310, 33.3% of 2018 Subaru Forester listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.

Why it stands out
The 2018 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact SUV that emphasizes space, safety, and everyday usability over flash. It offers a roomy interior and large cargo area, and its standard symmetrical all-wheel drive gives it the kind of all-weather confidence that has long defined the Forester name. Buyers looking for a straightforward, capable used SUV will also appreciate that this generation was built around comfort and refinement, with a focus on improved ride quality and visibility.
For 2018, the Forester also benefits from the fourth generation’s later updates. The EyeSight driver assistance suite was standard on all models by 2018, and the 2017 refresh brought revised styling, updated headlights, extra soundproofing, and thicker glass to reduce road noise. That makes this model year appealing if you want a Forester that feels more polished than earlier versions while still keeping the brand’s familiar practicality. The tradeoff is that it is not especially exciting to drive, and the CVT can feel sluggish, so shoppers prioritizing performance may find it less engaging than its usefulness suggests.

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.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $16,232 |
| Year-Round Low | $15,917 |
| Year-Round High | $16,868 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $16,738 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −3.03% |
Prices have softened 3.03% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 3,135 listings available, which gives you a solid pool to compare prices and conditions.
Is the 2018 Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — 4.75/5 is a strong user rating, and the review summary points to a spacious interior, safety features, and a smooth driving experience. You also get comfortable seating and user-friendly technology, which fits the Forester’s practical, everyday-use focus. If you want a straightforward compact SUV with room, visibility, and all-weather confidence, this model year lines up well with that use case. With 35.7% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.
Is the 2018 Subaru Forester reliable?
Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary also emphasizes dependable everyday use through its spacious cabin, comfortable seating, and easy-to-live-with nature. That kind of feedback suggests the Forester can be a sensible choice if you want a used SUV you can count on for routine driving. For long-term ownership, your biggest risk is buying a poorly maintained example, so condition and service history matter more than the badge alone.
What should I look for when buying a used 2018 Subaru Forester?
At 68.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, especially if a listing looks unusually cheap. Put inspection priority on body condition, signs of prior repair, and how the vehicle drives and shifts in everyday use. Focus on overall maintenance quality and interior wear as much as mileage, since those clues can tell you a lot about how the car was treated.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2018 Subaru Forester?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 3,135 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.03% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 68.3% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,917, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2018 Subaru Forester's resale value?
The current average of $16,232 sits slightly below last year's $16,738.
That softer pricing can help you buy more carefully now, but it also means future resale may depend heavily on how well you preserve the vehicle. If you keep mileage reasonable and maintenance documented, you should be in a better position when it comes time to sell. Listings that are clean, well-kept, and priced competitively tend to move more easily in a market like this.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2018 Subaru Forester or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2018 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2018 if:
- 35.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 68.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 3.03% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2017 if:
- At $14,685, the 2017 costs less than the current year's $16,232 average.
- It offers a value-focused, practical Forester package.
Consider the 2019 if:
- At $18,772, the 2019 costs more than the current year's $16,232 average.
- It adds standard advanced safety features and easier everyday tech use.
The bottom line: The 2018 is the best all-around pick if you want a balanced mix of price, satisfaction, and current-market availability. If your priority is saving money, the 2017 is the better value path; if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling package, the 2019 is the upgrade route to compare.
