Great functionality, visibility and practicality. Everything a Subaru should be.

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 2021 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact crossover that leans heavily on value, safety, and standard all-wheel drive. It was mostly unchanged for 2021, and the only notable updates were the addition of three standard safety features—steering-responsive LED headlights, automatic high beams, and a rear seatbelt reminder—plus standard fog lights and keyless access with push-button start for the Premium trim level, along with additional equipment reshuffling on other trim levels. That makes it appealing to buyers who want a straightforward SUV with useful equipment and a strong safety focus.
The Forester also benefits from its long history as one of the original compact crossover SUVs, helping define a segment that has since become crowded with rivals. By 2021, it had grown into a vehicle with the footprint of a midsize SUV from two decades ago, which helps explain its roomy, easygoing character. Owners also praise its spacious feel, safety features, and reliability. At the same time, it is not the most exciting choice: the test-drive data calls out uninspired styling, sluggish performance, and interior materials that feel cheap.
