Is the Subaru Forester a good car?
Yes — the Subaru Forester is a strong used-car choice if you want a practical SUV with broad owner appeal and a long-running reputation for everyday usefulness. 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, reliability, all-wheel-drive capability, safety features, and comfortable ride. Across the model’s history, it also stands out for visibility, practicality, and family-friendly usability.
Expert reviews rate the 2019 and 2022 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs that show up in recent expert reviews are sluggish acceleration, a CVT that can feel slow, and infotainment systems that can seem dated or frustrating to use. Even so, the Forester’s mix of space, confidence in poor weather, and strong safety focus keeps it appealing for used buyers.
34.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Subaru Forester models reliable?
Owners and experts consistently point to the Forester’s practicality, safety, and all-wheel-drive confidence as core strengths. Across the model line, it has built a reputation for dependable everyday use, with many drivers praising its comfort, visibility, and usefulness.
- 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 condition, maintenance history, and mileage than to the model’s basic formula, so a well-kept example is the best path to a confident purchase.

What is the Subaru Forester's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | $24,434 | −8.27% |
| 2024 | $28,980 | −7.37% |
| 2025 | $31,503 | −5.57% |
| 2021 | $21,994 | −5.24% |
| 2019 | $18,902 | −5.16% |
| 2020 | $20,932 | −4.1% |

| 2016 | $12,474 | −2.67% |
| 2015 | $11,266 | −1.05% |
Most model years in the table are moving lower year over year, which is good news if you want to buy used and let someone else absorb the biggest price drop. The newer years show some of the largest declines, while the older years are changing more slowly. That creates a wide spread of opportunities depending on whether you want the newest features or the lowest entry price.
The 2015, 2016, and 2017 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 −5.57% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −7.37%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 35.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.9%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,503. The Subaru Forester offers a practical cabin with strong visibility and everyday usefulness.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 2026 Forester Wilderness uses a normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 180 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque, and Subaru says the Wilderness should get 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, and it includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
- Safety: The latest Forester improves rear seatbelts to enhance occupant safety and adds 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.

Im a big guy (62) and I really like the headroom. We currently own an Outback and that car would have been more practical (towing). However, I feel more upright in my Forester instead of reclined in the Outback.

Love the visibility in the Forester, the safety features and the comfortable, quiet ride. Also, the resale value forced us to buy new as the new prices were not that much higher than late model used.

Subaru Forester test drive
overall
The redesigned 2026 Subaru Forester Wilderness continues to travel where few crossover SUVs can.
To create the 2026 Forester Wilderness, Subaru adds all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, and improved angles of approach, breakover, and departure. Drivetrain modifications enhance traction, added underbody protection prevents damage when off-roading, and a full-size all-terrain spare tire is ready when you need it. Styling changes convey this model’s rugged capabilities, and Subaru outfits the interior for easy clean-up. All 2026 Forester models get a new center console design and updated protection for rear passengers in a collision.
Verdict: Push the new 2026 Forester Wilderness to its limits, and you’ll be impressed by its off-roading capability. But, even if you’re not planning to traverse challenging terrain, it is comforting to know that the Wilderness offers more competence than a typical crossover SUV when confronted with unexpected situations.
