2018 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

This car is perfect for my wife and myself. The best is the safety features and with our 2 year old we love that!

My wife and I first drove a Subaru Forester in North Carolina this past fall. We drove all over Western North Carolina, looking a property in the Mountains. This vehicle went every where twisty mountain road, logging roads due to great ground clearance. Heavy rain wasn't an issue either. In three days we put over 820 miles on this rental car and it was very enjoyable to the point that we just purchased one for ourselves. It's very comfortable and price wise very reasonable.

Comfortable ride and great in the snow. This is my second Subaru...after my first Forester I wouldn?t consider another brand.

We love our Forester. The handling, convenience, and visibility are excellent. We picked the Forester over the Honda CR-V because the visibility was so much better. If you are going to drive to amazing places for great adventures this is the car for you. The AWD system is far better than any other vehicle in its class and you will be able to immerse yourself in the scenery with its panoramic moon roof.

This is my third SUBARU. I love the comfort and smooth ride, and the car maintains it's appearance over years.

Couldn't even finish the test ride in the Forester. Turned around because it was just awkward. Hard to handle. Not as responsive as the Outback. Very uncomfortable seats. However, good visibility and you sit up high. I would be exhausted after a long drive in this suv.

Great ride, very comfortable, and very sturdy. You get a lot for your money. The dealership was very professional and clean.

The Forester is an excellent vehicle even in the snow. It drives like a luxury car with the advantages of an SUV. The all-wheel drive, eyesight technology, moonroof, navigation system and seat warmers are just a few of my favorites. I would highly recommend this car for anyone with a family. It is spacious in both the front and back seats, and the numerous safety technologies that are included make it one of the safest cars on the road.

At 6'6", my options are limited, but I'm positive I'd buy the same car again even if I magically lost 11 inches. This car is fuel efficient but powerful, spacious but compact, elegant yet utilitarian... it's paradoxically the best of both worlds in every category. I went for the 2.5i Premium Black Edition, and it's ridiculously slick. The steering-responsive headlights were a luxury I didn't know I needed, but now I can never go back -- driving through the woods and backroads at night will never be the same. I can't say enough good things about this car, so instead I'll just identify the VERY FEW areas that could see improvement: -- The driver sits a little high. at 6'6" I still fit great, but it's a slightly unfamiliar position. -- The CVT can feel kind of chunky at lower speeds. It's not a big deal at all, but I need to find something Subaru can do better for the 2019!

I've only had the car for 3 weeks, but I love the way it handles, I love all of the features, (Eyesight, Starlink and I feel very safe in it.
