We love our car.

This is the third Subaru Forester that we have owned and we like this one most of all. We like the comfort and styling, but most of all we like the safety features.

The Best!

We looked at many different types of cars and chose the Subaru Forester Touring for its reputation, reliability, durability, safety, comfort, value, options etc combined with the teamwork at Burke Motor Group in Cape May NJ! Our salesman was, JAMES HANNAN, who went above and beyond for us! From DOUGLAS BURKE; JAMES HANNAN, Sales Professional; JEREMY, GM; CHRIS, Finance; CONNOR, Service etc every question we had was answered and quickly! James and the Burke Team were wonderfully supportive and explained every detail thoroughly and the process was smooth and easy! We couldn't be happier with our 2021 Forester Touring and would HIGHLY recommend "Subaru" and "The Burke Motor Group" without reservation! 5 Stars ⭐

Reliable & Comfortable

So far this SUV has all the interior accessories and accommodations needed. Love the headlights especially at night. This vehicle will center approximately and warn (blind sight area ) of on coming vehicles . Navigation/temperature control and so much more. So far, we love this vehicle.

First Subaru Owner

This vehicle has exceeded all our expectations. The interior is spacious and lots of room for people and cargo. The new Subaru platform creates a very comfortable and firm driving experience. MPG is great and the Sport trim level definitely draws attention. The safety features of the eyesight system have worked flawlessly so far and make driving much so much more enjoyable!

Most reliable car I ever owned

This car meets all of my needs with plenty of legroom and fine interior setting. Being AWD it really holds on to the road and makes driving a pleasure.The exterior design is beautiful and looks strong.

Love, Love, Live the Forester

It’s a great car...the features are wonderful...I don’t want to drive anything but a Forester! It makes me feel safe and it’s very enjoyable to ride in.

Design is outdated.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by the Forester but the design and overall comfort was not to my liking. It feels like you are driving in a box which may be okay for some folks since the interior visibility in excellent because of the car shape. Otherwise the fit and finish of the car was above average and it seemed very steady on the highway. Road noise seemed pronounced to me in around town driving. Not for me but maybe a worthwhile car for some.
