"Best car for turning around- it is amazing!! Drives so nice and smooth.I love my huge sun/moon roof. I do not like how much gas it eats in the city- highway mileage is good. I wood like more comfortable passenger seats. All over it is very, very good SUV."

"The First new car i purchased. it took four months to get to the final two vehicles(thanks cars.com). We have owned the Forrester for one year now and can say one thing. "great choice" this is not your grandparents Subaru. the performance, value and reliability are off the charts. throw the Subaru Forrester in the first choice category!!"

"My Subaru Forester is wonderful; I have never enjoyed owning a vehilce more. I bought this vehicle after a complete year of looking at many different makes and models of vehicles and none offered more value for the dollar. I read an article of the 10 most hated vehicles by mechanics and they stated that they didn't like the Subaru Forester because it never seems to need repairs and they don't make any money on them. What more could you ask for?"

"Great car. I was surprised that it got a tad over 30mpg on the highways. I am in Florida. Not bad for a vehicle with this much power and an outdated 4 speed. Plenty of room inside. No problems so far."

"I really did my homework, before I bought my FX Premium 5 spd. I wanted to make sure that I'd like the car for years to come. Newly retired, I needed a reliable, multi tasking car, that would be economical, as well. People have remarked how easy it is to enter and exit the Forester. It rides and handles great. I get fantastic mpgs for an AWD wagon, 32+ on hwy. It turns a tight circle. Handy to be able to do, sometimes. Love the huge moonroof! All the cup/bottle holders, 2 of each, front and back. I do a lot of home remodeling and I have never lacked cargo space. If needed, it has a receiver hitch for my trailer. Well, I could go on and on. I think l'll hang on to this Forester a long time. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned."

"Wish it got better mileage, otherwise love it. Drives more like a car than a big vehicle. Roomy. Power driver seat a must for tall people."

"I get better than advertised hwy mileage - around 30 mpg - and worse than advertised in city (around 19 mpg). Everything about the car is intuitive (except the hard-to-find/adjust seat heater, but that's a nitpick) and I absolutely LOVE the mega moon roof. The car makes some weird pinging noises after shutting off but my buddy says that's due to the sideways positioning of the pistons. Haven't yet had snow. Handles fine in rain. I definitely recommend this vehicle."
