Is the Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the Subaru Forester is a strong used SUV choice if you want practicality, all-weather confidence, and broad owner approval. The all-generations owner rating is 4.62/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise the Forester for its spacious cabin, reliability, and excellent all-wheel-drive capability. Safety features and a comfortable ride also come up again and again, which helps explain why it remains such a popular family SUV.

The main trade-offs in recent expert coverage are sluggish performance, polarizing styling on some versions, and infotainment systems that can feel frustrating to use.

The table shows broad downward movement across the lineup, which is helpful if you're shopping used and want to benefit from softer prices. The largest drops are concentrated in newer model years, while older examples are changing more slowly. That makes the newer used Foresters especially interesting if you want more recent features at a lower price than before.
The 2015, 2014, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Subaru Forester now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.71% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −7.07%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 32.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.6%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,592. The Subaru Forester offers a spacious cabin and a large cargo area, which are core strengths that make it easy to live with every day.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque; 26 mpg in combined driving.
- Tech: a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel and an 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
- Safety: improved rear seatbelts and updated rear passenger safety.
- Starting price: $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 2027 inventory to mature.

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.

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.
