Great functionality, visibility and practicality. Everything a Subaru should be.
Scott S
Reviewed a 2018 Subaru 2.0XT Touring on Apr 26, 2026
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!

Right number of features. Great value. Solid vehicle. Missing? Maybe extras like fancy media, swoopy dashboards and soft armrests. Perfect utility vehicle.
Maya L
Reviewed a 2017 Subaru Forester on Apr 7, 2025
I fell in love with this car at first sight. I drove and considered a 2025 Forester to compare and could not move to 2025. The 2017 Forester is friendly, bright, wide visibility, you sit high in it, it has a smooth ride and has all the basics that you need. My particular pre-owned model had a quality I cannot describe that is probably due to the previous owner but it is a perfect car. I would not hesitate to buy at 2017 Forester, unless it is truly toward the end of its life.

Why it stands out
The 2024 Subaru Forester stands out as a compact SUV that leans hard into practicality, visibility, and all-weather confidence. Subaru’s standard symmetrical all-wheel drive is one of its defining traits, and the Forester’s reputation for reliability, safety, and long-term value remains a major part of its appeal. It also offers a spacious interior and a large cargo area, which makes it especially attractive to buyers who want an easy-to-live-with family vehicle or a capable everyday SUV.
For 2024, the Forester’s appeal is rooted in its balanced, no-nonsense setup. The CVT can feel sluggish, and there is no turbocharged engine option in this generation, so it is not the choice for shoppers seeking strong performance. Even so, the Forester’s strengths are clear: excellent visibility, standard AWD, and a cabin designed around usefulness rather than flash. That combination is what makes it distinctive among used compact SUVs.
