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.

What should I look for when buying a used Subaru Forester?

Which Subaru Forester trim should I buy?

The 2026 Subaru Forester offers these trims:

  • Base: standard Active Torque Split all-wheel drive, X-Mode Dual Mode traction settings, and the 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system; a strong starting point if you want the core Forester formula.
  • Premium: adds more comfort and convenience equipment, making it a sensible step up for everyday use.
  • Sport: adds a more distinctive appearance and a more expressive setup for shoppers who want extra style.
  • Limited: adds more upscale features and is a good fit if you want a more polished cabin.
  • Wilderness: adds a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, exclusive wheel designs, extra body cladding, anodized copper accents, more underbody protection, increased ground clearance, and a full-size all-terrain spare tire; this is the best-value trim if you want the Forester’s most capable setup.
  • Touring: adds the most premium equipment in the lineup for buyers who want the most fully featured Forester.

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.
