Subaru Superior Satisfaction

I am stilled amazed at the quality, ride, comfort and technology in my new Forester. As a petite woman, I am able to adjust the driver's seat to maximum comfort. The safety features are now considered a welcomed necessity particularly being able to monitor the technology from the steering wheel, notice of a vehicle in my blind spot or an oncoming vehicle when backing out. Subaru has a high standard of safety features that were the primary reason for selection of this brand.

I feel safe in this car

I keep a car for a long time. My last car was a 1999 Honda Accord. It was getting to the point that although I only had 128,000 miles on it, I didn't feel as safe as I wanted to. I feel solid and secure in the Subaru. I love all the light and visibility you have also.

Most luxurious SUV, I've owned.

I've had the car for about a month now and I really enjoy to smoothness of the ride, easy read console, and the space inside for passengers.

Forester XT touring

I am coming out of a 2007 Subaru legacy GT spec B. The XT is surprising with the CVT with good low end torque. Turbo spools up nicely. Interior space is good but a little dated.

Such a great investment,

I love this car, Light interior and exterior to protect us from the desert heat, and all of the safety features we could ask for pretty spacious and very comfortable. I think its about time for a road trip.

New car

Just got a new car today. Love it so far. Very comfortable and love the way it looks. I particularly like how it is higher up and the touch screen is great too.

Subaru

Our 2017 forester is running great so far. There hasn't been any problem. We are enjoying it and our children loves riding in it. They love the color of the car.
