Is the Subaru Forester a good car?

Yes — the Subaru Forester is a strong used-car pick 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, all-wheel-drive confidence, and safety-focused character. Reliability and comfort also come up often, along with the model’s easygoing, family-friendly nature.

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, dated or frustrating infotainment in some years, and styling that can feel plain or polarizing. Even so, the Forester’s value, utility, and safety focus keep it appealing for used buyers.

33.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

Are Subaru Forester models reliable?

Owners consistently describe the Forester as dependable, spacious, and confidence-inspiring in bad weather. Expert reviews also reinforce its practical, safety-first character and its long-term usefulness as an everyday SUV.

  • 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, the main long-term ownership risk is choosing a higher-mileage example without a strong maintenance history, so a careful inspection and vehicle-history check matter.

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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 81.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2020 models.

Key things to evaluate:

  • Safety package: EyeSight
  • Infotainment: 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Fuel efficiency: According to Subaru’s estimates, the Wilderness should get 26 mpg in combined driving, but we averaged 22.7 mpg during this evaluation.

Which Subaru Forester trim should I buy?

The 2026 Subaru Forester offers these trims:

  • Base: The base trim starts the lineup with the redesigned Forester’s core utility and safety focus, and it suits you if you want the entry point into the 2026 range.
  • Premium: Premium adds a step up in everyday comfort and convenience, making it a strong value choice for shoppers who want more equipment without moving too far up the price ladder.
  • Sport: Sport brings a more distinctive personality and is a good fit if you want a trim with a little more visual flair.
  • Limited: Limited adds a more upscale feel and is a sensible pick if you want a richer feature set.
  • Wilderness: Wilderness is the most capable Forester model, with a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, exclusive wheel designs, extra body cladding, anodized copper accents, water-resistant artificial leather, all-weather floor mats, a rubber cargo mat, a 12.3-inch digital instrumentation panel, a navigation system, a Harman Kardon premium sound system, a power liftgate, Subaru’s Active Torque Split AWD system, X-Mode Dual Mode traction settings, 17-inch wheels, 9.3 inches of ground clearance, increased approach, breakover, and departure angles, more underbody protection, and a full-size all-terrain spare tire. It is the trim to choose if you want the strongest off-pavement hardware.
  • Touring: Touring sits at the top of the gas-only lineup and is the trim to consider if you want the most upscale Forester experience.

Should I buy a used Subaru Forester now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

  • Price trend: The 2025 model is at −5.5% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −6.93%.
  • Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33.7%.
  • Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $31,607. The Subaru Forester offers a practical cabin with strong visibility and everyday versatility.

Consider waiting if:

  • Powertrain/efficiency: The Forester’s normally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder 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, wireless smartphone charging, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system.
  • Safety: The latest model adds improved rear seatbelts to enhance occupant safety and includes Emergency Stop Assist with Safe Lane Selection.

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.
