Subaru continues its excellence

This is my 3rd Subaru - 1 Outback and 2 Foresters. Very reliable cars. The style is good and comfortable. I know I can always depend on these cars from Subaru.

Great so far!

Great car with great safety features, styling tends more towards functional than pretty, but still a solid design. With the boxer engine and CVT it is nice an smooth acceleration and nimble in the curves.

Feeling of luxury

There are a couple of issues that are needed to be resolved The map finder is difficult to use and insists on making up its own names making the use GPS system hard to use. The dashboard indicators are too dark to read with the sun light making them hard to read and use. I cannot figure out if there is something I need to do. It's an extremely comfortable car. The heated seats and height adjustment feel splendid.

Best car I ever owned

I have found this car to superb in every way. From its features to its style. It is not the most expensive suv out there but it sure has that feel. For mine being the base model it comes with the important standard features all cars need. Rear camera, hands free calling. And more. I am loving this thing

Love the Forester Product overall

I love it... just wish I could have afforded the power seat package like my other cars.. I have had four back surgeries and believe it or not... it is hard for me to bend and reach the manual lever and adjust the seat

Wonderful investment

We feel like this is the safest and most comfortable car we have ever owned. Easy to get in and out of and not too small and not too big. Quiet and comfortable ride.
