Is the Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the Subaru Forester is a strong used-car pick if you want space, confidence in poor weather, and everyday practicality. The all-generations owner rating is 4.62/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Forester for its spacious interior, all-wheel-drive capability, safety features, and comfortable ride. Across the model’s history, it also earns repeat praise for reliability and usefulness, which helps explain why so many shoppers keep it on their short list.
Expert reviews rate the 2019 and 2022 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs that show up in expert reviews are sluggish acceleration, CVT behavior that can feel slow, and infotainment systems that can be frustrating or dated in some years.
34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Subaru Forester models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently point to the Forester’s reliability, practicality, and all-weather confidence as core strengths. The model’s long-running reputation for spaciousness, safety, and everyday usefulness shows up again and again in owner feedback.
- Owners rate the Subaru Forester between 4.33 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is generally tied more to individual vehicle history and maintenance than to the model’s overall reputation, so a careful inspection and history report matter.

Should I buy a used Subaru Forester now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.35% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.97%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.8%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,608. The Subaru Forester offers a practical cabin with strong visibility and everyday versatility.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The latest Forester Wilderness uses a normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, and Subaru estimates 26 mpg in combined driving.
- Tech: The latest Forester Wilderness pairs a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel with an 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging.
- Safety: The latest Forester adds improved rear seatbelts to enhance occupant safety and includes Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection.
- Starting price: The gas-only 2026 Forester lineup starts at $31,445.
If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

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.

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.

CarGurus recommends the 2019 Subaru Forester
Summary
With 183 currently listed for sale near Fayetteville, NC and an average price of $19,874, 48.6% of 2019 Subaru Foresters for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Subaru Forester 4.9 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.17 / 10.
100.0% of 2019 Forester models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Subaru Forester stands out as a practical compact SUV built around the qualities many buyers want most: all-weather capability, passenger space, cargo room, and solid fuel economy. Subaru’s long history with the Forester also gives it a clear identity, and the 2019 model continues that formula with standard all-wheel drive, standard advanced safety features, and easy-to-use technology. For shoppers who value confidence in poor weather and a straightforward ownership experience, those strengths make it especially appealing.
At the same time, the 2019 Subaru Forester is not trying to win on excitement. Its performance is described as fairly pedestrian, and its styling is uninspired. Even so, that tradeoff may suit buyers who care more about usefulness than flash. Owner feedback reinforces that appeal, with praise for its spaciousness, safety features, visibility, comfort, and all-wheel drive capability, while some drivers note the lack of a standard transmission option and difficulties with Android connectivity.
