Fun and reliable car

This car is a fun and sporty SUV with plenty of head room and leg room in the front and back seats. With the back seats down there is lots of room to haul things.

Subaru Forester

Absolutely love this car!! It's got plenty of space for our German shepherd, camping gear, etc. Its all wheel drive is fantastic in the NY winters and on muddy trails. Heated seats and Sunroof for ultimate comfort... couldn't be happier.

Best car ever!!!

I love this Subaru. This is the second Subaru Forester I have owned and I have friends who also have the Subaru Forester. I love this model with the heated seats and the moon roof, the easy controls and the easy visibility through the large rear view window. The size is not too big but small enough to handle in tight spots. And of course the All Wheel Drive. I love this car!

Good for me.

Just traded in my 2010 Civic for this, Really like the Subaru, its comfortable, looks like you could actually do some maintenance on it if you had to, rides well, drives well, has enough power, gets decent fuel mileage. Like the fact that it has some towing capacity as well, wont have to use the Old truck for towing every thing now, can tow a small trailer easily. Its not a luxury sedan but I don't expect it to be. The one I bought is a 5 speed manual and it shifts well also, easy to find gears. If your expecting a luxury car this isn't it, if you want something very functional this is a good choice in my opinion.

Good, reliable vehicle

Owned two different Foresters and loved both of them. There is no amount of snow or bad roads that will stop you from getting to work in this vehicle. Heated seats are a bonus.

Incredible Functionality

This car does just everything right. The door height entry level is just about perfect, not too low like our Civic, and not too high like our Lexus RX. Good room for taller people; plenty of headroom. Seating position is very good and seats are fairly comfortable with decent lumbar support. Sufficient power for a four cylinder, but if you're careful and lightfoot it, you can eek out 28-29 MPG. The four is a little noisy; wish Subaru would use more sound deadening. Road noise is this car's only weakness. The symmetrical all wheel drive is the best; the car is unsurpassed in the snow. Everything seems to be built for rugged functionaality. Interior is fairly spartan but quite resistant to the day-to-day wear from cargo in-and-out, and the scuffs and wear from boots, snow, ice and mud. We like the styling of this newest generation over the older models and with only 55K miles we think we're going to be driving this one for quite awhile.
