2010 Subaru Forester consumer reviews

Great car for New England weather - AWD, heated seats for winter and strong AC, sun roof for summer. Decent mileage for AWD. Very comfortable and good vision.

I've owned 9 other cars and Subaru has been the best! This 2010 was purchased for my daughter as her first car. I have peace of mind that she will be in a reliable and dependable vehicle.

I just bought car two weeks ago. Sturdy, inside is a little small. Ok but not great on gas. Wish Subaru had better car colors.

I'm busy with work and kids so I need a reliable car. This car is it! I love the experiences I've had with it and that it is so sturdy in bad weather.

So far, so good. Only had it a couple weeks. I would not have scored reliability due to my lack of time with it accept it is required. So I gave it a 3 but think it might turn out better than average... I'm quite happy to see my MPG to average 30 for a trip of 92 miles with mixed city/highway driving. Better than I had read. Over all MPG since purchasing the car has been averaging above what I read. I read some complaints about the cup holders but not too bad in reality. The interior could be a bit better designed for today's mobile devices and applications but much has changed in the last 8 years, so... The only complaint I have is the rack cannot be adjusted forward and backward for better load distribution. Rather it has two mount points for the towers, the forward of which is too far back for kayaks and canoes, often behind the center of gravity. Another very minor change would be to change the tow loops in front to tow hooks. But that. It drives well (5-speed manual). Comfortable cornering (on Chuckanut DR). The turning radius seems nicely tight, such as for small U turns. It tracks well. Good visibility in the traditional sense (no backup camera). I try to be stingy with stars but still gave "Comfort" a 5. It is the most comfortable car I recall driving. Especially compared to the Subaru wagons which can be tight (for entry/exit) even for a guy of only 5' 11" (and I'm pretty flexible). This car has room to spare. Yet it does not feel like I'm climbing into a large RV or truck (which it is not). Good leg room both front and back. Not that I've ridden in back more than once but what few comments I have heard from my riders have been positive. To my recollection, every car I have owned, I have always moved the driver seat all the way back. Not so in this one which leaves a little more room for a passenger behind me. For the first time, I had to fiddle with adjusting my seat after a short driver at the shop. Normally, I just had to slide it all the way back. I'll just have to suffer through that, I guess. Note: After driving around four previous Subaru's I have found they like their clutch all the way forward in the footwell or to the firewall to start the car. This one is no different. The running lights and other safety features are quite welcome (only missing a reverse camera).

I absolutely love the overall performance of my Subaru.. I have a major problem. Both driver and passenger seat have deteriorated with only 65,000 miles. Passenger seat foam is so bad when sitting you can feel feel the metal on the right side and the driver's seat is completely off the mounting to the point that I feel as though I'm going to slide off the seat.

This is a great little car and I cannot wait to get it out on the road. I will be getting it into the commute in a few days.

Mine is an XT Sport and the get-up in this car is amazing. It's quick/peppy, but still really smooth. It's roomy interior makes it perfect for road-trips and has a surprisingly quiet cabin (considering). It took a long time to find the XT, but was totally worth the wait!

I LOVE THIS CAR IT HAS PLENTY OF ROOM AND I COULD PUT A TRAILOR HITCH ON THE BACK FOR MY SON WHEELCHAIR

It is a great car for our Blue Ridge Mountains. It has a lot of safety features and am going to give it to my Granddaughter and buy another Subaru Forester. She loves driving it and so do I. We love the Forester.
